So I end up carrying the bill for all 3 of us. To make matters worse, The Transporter sometimes brings his girlfriend with the expectation that I will cover everyone’s bill. I have considered walking out and leaving them with the bill. But then I think what if they get arrested and get bad record which would make it even harder to find a job.
“Does he have no intention of getting divorced and is he just telling people he’s separated?”
He also has back taxes, and he’s at risk of being evicted in the next 2 months. He has maxed out his cards so he literally has no money. He knows he messed up and I’ve made spreadsheets for him to show him how dire his situation is… and no, he knows I won’t give him money.
First, please try to take as much care of yourself physically and intellectually as you can squeeze in. I know how hard it is to squeeze seconds. If history is hard to face, maybe something in related fields or something brand new. Walks and public staircases and books about stretching and yoga from your library and PBS and NPR are free.
He bumps into you and says it’s a coincidence
I’m finally at my breaking point and becoming resentful. I took an extra job to make up for the loans and he is too good to go wait tables?! He likes to do things around my house and act like he’s such a help.
NO CHILDREN. I never wanted to be burdened beyond my means. Have some deformities that does interfere with some things that I do. My part time job is in a warehouse that is physically demanding. The man I currently with, well at least up until last night, is also broke. He’s 52 and works at the same warehouse that I do as a driver.

I am smart and intelligent and have a great personality. I am not money hungry, but I strongly believe that the man should be financially stable to take care of himself, and help me out at sometimes. Had a boyfriend who was illegal in my country. Very impulsive and careless about money buying weed, ciggarettes, sex toys, going nights out with the boys. He knows he couldn’t get a stable job because of his situation but he spends whatever he earns without thinking where would his next salary come from.
More promises get broken, more hearts get shattered and more baggage piles on. However, since taking the ultimate plunge of marriage doesn’t register on the radar as quickly or as easily, it often means those relationships just don’t stand the test of time. If you live in a big city or have WellHello an unconventional job (i.e., anything artistic or one that requires you to travel a lot), that timeline often gets pushed back even further. Taking care of a man who cannot take care of himself is unheard of. Since creation, it a man’s job to take care of the woman and not vice-versa.
Not an easy situation to be in for anyone. I wld like to think that I have always valued a good heart and a kind soul above any financial abilities. Everyone has their own comfort level of financial security with a partner or without . Having been married and worked from bottom of the corporate world to gain success in our own business during marriage I must say I have been on both ends of the spectrum. I still left my marriage due to certain values not respected by ex and to me no amount of $$ can make me happy.
It was one of the things he used to do to scare me. At that point, I felt so numb that I probably wouldn’t have minded; I had no energy left to tell him to stop. I realised I got with you because I lacked self-esteem. I want a healthy relationship and that’s something I can’t have with you. So I’m sorry, but this is me saying goodbye. Be around people that love you; not people who are scared to hurt you with the truth but people who will lovingly tell you the truth.
I can’t imagine getting into a relationship with someone who tells me in advance that he can’t buy a $2 cup of coffee. I would not imagine a second dumping a woman who is genuine and nice if she was not making enough money. And this is where do not agree with you.
