Okay, I need some help.

I live with this couple. They have dogs and I take care of them. I’ve been staying here about six months with no problems. Last night the woman went out to see the dogs. She came back and said that they didn’t have any water or food. She told me I should leave in the morning. When I met these people I did not have any friends and my family has been gone for quite some time. If I leave I have nothing and nowhere to go. These are some of the most wonderful people I’ve ever met in my life. In the six months I have been here I have also met other very wonderful people including this wonderful woman that I believe is truly my soulmate. Her and I are not currently in a relationship, but that could change later given time. In the past few hours I’ve contemplated alot of things. I’ve even contemplated suicide. I don’t think I really want to do that, but I’m tired of my life falling apart.

Well in the last 6 months have you been working and how much money have you saved to get your own place. Take the money that you have saved and look for a room for rent then move on with your life from that point. Hope this helps :-)

What, Ok I can see taking care of the dogs and doing some house cleaning for room and board. Obviously the rest of the free time has been just hanging out and doing nothing. You where given 6 months to get your life going, if its not thats no one fault but your own and now its time to grow up and take responsibility for it.

I was not “given” six months. I have done alot more than take care of dogs and houseclean. There were over 100 dogs by the way. This couple and I had an agreement and my problem is having to leave all thes wonderful people behind.

I want advice on how to get this woman to understand that I didn’t do any of this on purpose and forgive me.

Yeah if they are letting you stay there you could at least feed the dogs. They are living things too you know.

Technically you have neglected her dogs. So right now she doesnt trust you.You have to regain her trust. Beg her for one more chance to prove yourself. And actually do it!

What happen that you hadn’t fed the dogs. It seems having you leave is a bit drastic if this was the first time this happen. Was there other reasons involved in her making the decision for you to leave?

I know you are loving the place that you are at right now. But you can find another job and more wonderful people in the world. It is not worth taking your life.

Thank you all for your help. I really appreciate it. I really did feed the dogs. I think I just forgot to fill the water. Things worked out just fine. She is still a little mad, but she is letting me stay and I will never let that happen again. Thank you all.

Ask her again in front of her husband to forgive you while looking in her eyes and never taking your eyes off of her.
