An Uncategorized confession
I'm stupid. I know I have to break-up with him. He's a moocher. Manipulative. I've been stupid for six years... Six years and running, in fact. But my pride won't let me do it. I've defended him for years infront of friends and family. I find it embarassing to let them know that they were right on some certain points. Six years and it comes to this. So stupid.

It sucks...lying to everyone to hide his flaws. Your first move to break things off is to stop lying...to your family and to yourself. If they ask you something that you would usually lie about..tell them the flat out truth. They are your family and they will at first be very protective but they will understand your situation better, and they will be supportive even if you stay with him.
Your first step is looking for a decent, cheap apartment (with a short term lease). Get an exit strategy ready, and if necessary, tell him that you need a trial seperation...when he knows that you're serious about moving out he'll most likely up the ante and ask you to marry him.
That decision is probably best made from your own apartment when you're away from him.
Once you're on your own you'll most likely realize how much better your life is without him and you'll move on fairly seemlessly.
