My 23M gf 23F takes min 6 hours of times daily
She is someone who is been depreived of love all her life, by friends, by family, basically everyone. Whereever she finds a little bit of love, for example her parents, she just switch sides, else they are her mortal enemies.
Me on the other hand, I have been relatively happy with my friends and family. I don’t have much expectations from most people. I wanted a normal relationship where I can talk about anything and feel safe.
Its been close to 3 years in our relationship, and here’s the problems:
-
She needs a lot of time, avg of 6 hours. In the start of our relationship she used to force me to see her everyday by emotionally demanding my presence. I also used gave in and deprioritise everything and give her time. That has taken a major hit on my finances. I had $25k savings with $100k business income, now im in $20k debt with no income. Ps, she couldn’t find a job in 2 years. I know I sound inconsiderate but she applies 1 job and hooks on it for 6 months, before the finally find a new candidate. This is a pattern.
-
My parents are exactly the same as her, emotionally and financially demanding. Its a big tug fight between the 2, who gets my attention. I have chosen her all the times over them; but just both the parties don’t trust me.
-
Coming back to the financial part; I had to move to my parents house as I am close to not making any payments to the bank. Honestly i can make the money back but im not able to focus at all; the moment i try to focus, my gf just want something from me, either talk to her, comfort her, etc etc. If I don’t then we fight and another set of 6 hours vanishes from my life.
-
Now if I want to get away from my parents and marry my gf, her parents wants me to be earning well and having a lot of money in my pocket. Again here gf, who was manipulated again with love from her parents, about the expectations.
-
Second reason for me to come to my parents house is to start from scratch like did when i was 19. But i feel like I am gonna go bankrupt this time. Because I made a lot of connections over the time; since I have deprioritised them several times due to my gfs wishes. They don’t pick up my call, the same goes for my friends.
share your honest advice, i have 1 more month before I start missing on my debt payments. or am i totally insane to think in such manner?
