I'm not happy in this relationship and haven't been since the beginning. I feel stuck. I can't afford to leave right now and I hate it.

Why can't you afford to leave? It seems staying in it is causing you much more suffering than leaving could ever do.

Leaving is the hardest part, Art. Trust me, it feels impossible, especially when you've depended on that person for so long that you don't know how to depend on yourself anymore, if you ever did to begin with.

freespirit: I feel your pain. Lots of love and hugs coming your way from this part of the world.

Not happy in my relationship
The night city grows
Look at the horizon glow
Drinking in the lights
Following the neon signs
Looking at the milky skyline
The city is my church
It wraps me in blinding twilight...

Not happy in my relationship
Twizzler :3
Thanks for this!

If you were not happy from the very start, what motivated you to even enter the relationship?

I am confused on all this, I recall your previous posts. Last year you came out of shelter and had your own apartment in August , working and making good choices moving towards better life. Then in October you were already living with this man and bought a car together. That's extremely fast. How it all happened and why are you living at his place? Buying things together? And Relationship isn't even good? What's the reason of even being with this man in the first place

I moved in with my boyfriend because I didn't like my neighbors at my apartment. One was a sex offender who had made inappropriate sexual comments towards my son. We talked about this for about a month before I moved in. I was worried that we might not get along. He told me that if that were the case, he would give me time to save money and get my own place again. That has changed. A couple of months ago, I told him I only wanted to be roommates and I needed to save my money to get my own place. He said if we were only roommates, he would expect a higher contribution to the bills.

I work only part-time due to my mental illness, and bring in about $200 per week. My name is also on the car loan because the dealership said my credit was better and would make the payments lower.

So I am pretty much stuck for now. Trying to make the best of it.

Hey,

I think like a year and a half ago you were at the homeless shelter or the women shelter and you were working on getting clean and sober. My memory might be failing me but I think I remember you. It does sound like you're in a pretty rough situation hard to support yourself and your son. I really hope you're doing well.

That's what i was confused about how it went so quick from shelter to your own place and then this guys apartment. If you don't make enough and are on disability could you get subsidized housing? I'd go back to shelter and see if they can place you. I don't even understand you getting a car loan making 200 a week. Who drives the car? This guy?

Research on state funding since you're low income. Find ways to seek help. I get what you're going through. I've been in rough situations like this too where I have to stay in the relationship because I depended on the man too much. It's easy to throw everything away for love.
