My boyfriend and I have been dating for over 8 years. not living together yet or engaged and still live at home with our parents. BF claims it's because of no money even though we both have full time jobs. Bf keeps saying he wishes we were living together and that we should be married by now but keeps saying he has no money. BF makes more than I do but unfortunately is still giving money to his 42 year old half sister. She makes about the same amount as my bf but she is always hitting him up for money (she never talks to him unless she needs money)....she demands it and calls it a donation. She asks for anywhere from at least $700 to a grand at a time and never pays him back. My boyfriend is struggling himself and has been paying his rent and bills all by himself and his dad, who moved back in with him (it was the dad's apt to begin with) is not helping out with rent or the bills because the dad spends it all on his gas guzzler of a car that he drives to chauffeur his girlfriend around. My mom pointed out this will always be a problem and he will always choose the half sister or dad over me and whatever kids we may have. She said he wont be able to buy our kids school supplies because he is too busy sending them money (exaggeration possibly but just an example).

 

Another thing that bothers me is we don't spend as much time together as I;d like. when he gets home from work he goes to play warcraft and skypes with his friends and this girl for hours each night. I barely hear a word from him.

 

Recently my boyfriend's dad found out he has colon cancer...he has no insurance because he chose to pay for his car instead and is now going to have to rely on my boyfriend to pay for his medical bills. This is another thing that got me sad because my boyfriend never had a relationship with the father, dad was mean to him, etc. and now he has to pay for him. I see our future slipping away with that.

 

Yesterday I found out my mom's best friend's 27 year old nephew killed himself. It really put things into perspective for me because I have been feeling depressed and sad over my relationship and have thought about killing myself also. Life is too short.

 

What should I do? Thanks for your advice.
