If a problem can be resolved by paying for it, it is not a problem, but just an expenditure. You can hire a mechanic. You can make more money. Then, when you are not financially dependent, you would not consider somebody's skills as a car mechanic and willingness to help you with money as positive qualities. You would take care of yourself. Then you would judge your partners using other methods, and eventually would be happier for it.

It may not be possible for you right now - your job pays what it pays - but at least you can correctly characterized what happened as your becoming dependent on a wrong person out of being financially unstable.
