How can someone who doesn;t take care of themselves, expect to be able to take care of someone else, and create a healthy relationaship?

This does set off warning bells to me.... there are allot of people that have very poor coping skills when it comes to stress... and often it required professional help....
If your SO is not on drugs or any kind of medication (please let us know so we can rule that issue out as a possible cause), this example would strike me as perhaps a mental health issue...
Does your SO have any issues with depression or show any signs of a mood disorder??
here is a link to find out more about Mood disorders:

Is this the same individual that you were reffering to in your 'getting over breakups thread in ladies lounge?'
I would highly suggest that you help your SO towards professional help! some couseling would would be very helpful to your SO.
I would also like to point out that someone with poor coping skills/and or some mental health issues present will not be able to be part of a giving and healthy relationship... until someone has dealt with his or her own issues, they cannot have a sucessful long term relationship....
so expect that you might have to leave you SO if they can't give you want you want and
deserve.
