I want to break up: I can't let a parasite ruin my life

Last night, I was ready for a nice dinner date, but my boyfriend suddenly asked me to drive because his car is on its last legs—again. Meanwhile, his finances are a disaster, his taxes are years overdue, and his place smells like cat puke because he just wipes it up and calls it a day. I work hard, pay my bills, and keep my home clean, so why am I always picking up the slack for a grown man who can’t get it together? I’ve tried to help, sent him resources, but nothing changes. Am I being heartless for wanting out, or am I just tired of being his unpaid life coach? Would you stick around or run for the hills? 😩🚗💸 #relationshipproblems #financialconflict #adultingfail #datingstruggles #RomanticRelationships

As much as women try to change their man, men don't change. Women do. Once they get that ring on their finger, they change. Promiscuous women change when they meet a man they really want. Prove me wrong!

stick around? for what?? your brain can only handle so much disorder, and then it starts to destroy your piece of mind. get out while you can. your brain will thank you. believe me. I know.

it's dudes like that that give dudes like me a bad image, if I had a woman like you my shit would keep getting better. I wouldn't let myself go backwards and if I did I'd fix it so fast you wouldn't even know I slipped. I've been steady trying to get it together but ever since the new homeless laws passed it's almost impossible to get anything done. I don't even want a camp anymore because it only lasts a week and then I have to move or come back to the little bit of belongings I have flat out gone and I don't make a mess. it's not even noticable I'm there unless you try to find me. but they find me. and all it would take in life is me having one person to help me out just a little bit so I could do the rest. and that's the part that screws me in the end because I shouldn't need that kind of help. but if I were you. and you see how my life is. I would run to them hills baby girl. if he ain't changing for you you ain't the one.

Do you seriously want to mother this grown ass man for the rest of your life???? Taking care of everything for him will kill you and he doesn't care as long as you keep doing it. Nip it in a bud! GHOST

if you are not married and it doesn't work for you then you are not tied to the relationship by any ethics at all free yourself and remain just friends.

only you can decide 🤔 do you want this forever? 😏 or do you blindly love no matter what 🤔 leave if you matter enough to him maybe it'll change 🤔 Have you ever tried talking to him about how you feel?????? TALKING ABOUT IT TOGETHER IS THE FIRST STEP

Actually it sounds like and definitely looks like he is overwhelmed. & personally I think you should leave him because you think money can solve him & you got your own issues because of that train of thought. You can’t see that he is going through a patch of depression and feel it as an unconvinced inconvenience but enough such to photo his place to the public but not so much sit with him & work through it together then leave. You are not his mother but you definitely aren’t the partner for him as you feel guilty but not curious enough to actually ask him to sit and create a solution with you. Chow js 🙏🏼

You deserve better and need to RUN, not walk, away from this relationship. You deserve better and the only way to get better is to leave bad!

I don't understand why men and women have to make a big ordeal about leaving somebody if you don't like what you have and it's not working out for you then pack your s*** and leave it's not complicated if you're not going to leave then fix the s*** if it can't be fixed then get the hell away from it it's freaking common sense why do we have to involve everyone else around us just because somebody's leaving us or not treating us right we made that decision to be with that person and it didn't work out it's nobody else's business but our own
