I feel like my story is being twisted in all sorts of directions. I mean what I say in my fact pattern in the most straightforward way possible. I'm not writing in riddles to have you guys guess if I'm in distress and need an out of this relationship or anything. I'm perfectly happy with my SO.

I don't see why my age, his maturity level, or even his fidelity are being called into question. I have a curfew with my parents because they are overprotective of me. That is all. It has nothing to do with me being an inexperienced teenager. I have a lot of trust in my SO because I know he's not unfaithful to me. I understand he cares about his friends. She's not just some random female coworker to him. She's a friend who happens to work at his company.

Sure you can call me a pushover or naive for having so much trust. Or you can call me someone who is concerned about another person's well-being. I understand how hard it is to get your life straight without financial traction. She's making slightly below average income. She's not someone who feels entitled to nice things...quite the opposite. I'm not making excuses for her, I'm not saying she can't do things on her own, but I do want things to work out for her. I would like to help her, but I've come to terms that I don't think I can help her with her living situation.
