Love help: I’m trying to figure out… - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I’m trying to figure out…

My boyfriend lives with me and pretty much lives off of me. I have helped him so that he doesn’t get put into jail, by paying off a DUI fine, reinstating his lic. and paying for his SR-22 insurance. My mom thinks that I should leave him, but I love him! What do I do?

I think as long as you keep on enabling him and not let him take responsibility for his actions he is never going to mature! And, as long as you are willing to let him live off you, he will never change. Love has nothing to do with it. Once you figure out that his charm or whatever you want to call it runs out, you will try to get your money back for all the financial help you have given him and he will you to take a hike and you will be thoroughly disapointed and heartbroken. Good luck to you if you stay with him.

You have to show him tough love or show him the door so can leave. Good luck!

My sister is living with one of these guys and I have to wait till he breaks her heart before I can say “see?” cause she just thinks “I don’t know him and I don’t want her to be happy” blah blah blah. I’m trying to help and she doesn’t see cause she “loves him”.

then he’s definitely a loser. If he loved you he wouldn’t let you be homeless.

My roommate’s boyfriend stay with her but i have a question, if she stayed with him some of last yr and during the summer is he a mooch? She also asked him if he could pay the rent for next month and he said yes. So is he a mooch or a good boyfriend? Because thats her excuse all the time. Me and my other roommates didnt want him to LIVE with us but she said all that and that she could do whatever because she pays rent here too

best thing you can do for him is leave. Really, looking back in a few years, he will thankyou, or he is an even bigger loser than the people here are saying.

If you love him, then ask if you love yourself too? If he loves you, then is he acting like it? Can you see love surviving in your relationship? Imagine if you hadkids with him.

If he was sick or something, but DUI? Give him a last chance if you want, but I’d say it would be along the lines of him saying “this is how I’m going to pay you back and stop being a gimp”

He is also sick.. he has a genetic disease… but that is no excuse… I am just losing all hope right now… I’m stuck in a position right now that I feel like I am up against a wall. No place to go.

No i dont feel like he shows me the love… he talks to his ex alot and last night I found a text from her that said “WOW that brought back the first time” but he had deleted what he said to her… and another thing I pay for his cell phone!

Oh no sweety you need to leave this man asap, seriously. He has lost all respect for you in my eyes. If he miss her then he need to take his a** to her so she can take care of him. You are not his mom therefor you do not need to be taking care of no man

you ok with the idea of leaving?
You will want an exit stratergy, as leaches don’t like to let go of a free lunch.
( I’m sure he has his positive lovely side too, or you wouldn’t have gone out with him, but he needs some time alone to heal from the leach-ness)

I would have been gone a long time. But some people don’t listen to me. They just think that bad people can change and things are going to get better.

I don’t think he was trying to be mean. It didn’t sound like you had decided to leave, and he was just putting in his advice about the way to roll from here.

How you feeling? Got to be a few emotions churning away there.
