Im a 30 year old male, im in a bad relationship. Its causing me an incredable amount of stress low self esteem ect.
Im taking care of this woman and her kids. Ive been taking care of her for about 2 yrs now, about a year ago she lost her appt. and i let her move in with me as a "room mate" She occupies an emmotional space in my life as if she and her kids are my family. But we are not intamatly or emotionaly involved. For her i am her "best friend", i "save her life" and she is "so greatful to me." I care abou her a lot and want to make sure she is safe or ok.
I would date her but she would never date me and refuses to talk or think about it.
Anyway im living half a life. SHe dates who she wants and i supposedly date how i want. Men dont mind dating her in this situation. I seldom feel energy to date and when women see the situation im in its ipossible to continue.
Ive tried geting her out of my life several times. I have made her leave but i cant stand her being homeless and i brought her back.
I feel sad, i feel used, i just want a real realtionship. I want to take care of my girlfrind and her family. Not somone elses.
Well its going to end soon. SHe says she will turn hrself in soon (warrent). SHe just had a baby and wanted it to be a 2 months before she went away. When she does the kids will go with fathers and relatives. And i will go away as far as i can. until then i live half a life.
Do others do this? Am i a bad, weak person? She is not a bad person, she loves me in her own way. And i cant reject her either.
