(24,693 posts)When his girlfriend got hauled off last week for being drunk and disorderly, my girlfriend said "That's it, when I've reached my limit, there's no turning back, I am going to tell him this isn't working out."
Then the stalling and excuses began, and what has been said is absolutely nothing.
The relationship...including her son...is absolutely not good for me in the long term. I've told her this many, many times.
Can't walk away till I fix my car and have the money for another place. I intend to do that by the end of the year (transmission alone, for a rebuilt, is around $1500. I also need a new battery, since it died from my not starting it for an extended time), and it has been sitting in the yard since last October, so I should probably replace the brake fluid, oil, and coolant as well). On top of that, I need rent money and any necessary deposits. All of my money has gone into keeping this household afloat. I need to stop "disclosing" my full income, become much more aggressive in going after clients, put aside what I need, fix the car, and go.
I already sense the weight that will be lifted. I feel the weight every day. Thank you for your encouragement.
