Is it normal that i'm putting myself in this situation?
I dated a guy who is a year older than me (he is now 20). I lived with him for a year, at his parents house, aswell as 'our' own place. He has never done anything for me at all. I've literally paid for everything, from his weed, to clothes, cabs, schooling, food, energy drinks, smokes, everything!!!
I broke up with him in June 2011, but have been sleeping with him on and off since, and giving him (and maybe myself) hope that things will get better.
He says over and over that he will do schooling, get a job, etc. I know completely that he doesn't want to grow up and do anything adult.
Last summer, I was hanging around the owner of a tattoo shop, and started working there. THere was a known... entrepeneur that would come around almost daily, and apparently we caught eachother's eyes. I even asked for his number right in front of my now ex boyfriend. I didn't mean anything as to picking him up, I'm just extremely social and love talking to new people!
I'm 19, and he will be 29 next month.
We were together every, single, day, last summer.
I would wake up and text him, get ready then get a drive to work from him, he would go to his work, come see me at lunch, we would go eat, he would buy me ciggarettes provide me with money at the drop of a hat, roll me joints any time, etc. He literally paid for everything in my life. While I tried to keep my distance (poor attempt at) and would even try to keep things good between me and my now ex boyfriend, trying to make jokes about how I had him wrapped around my finger...
When in actuality I had been falling for the older guy who was taking care of me.
He quit his job as a welder, and began tattooing fulltime, working with me in the shop, so even more time was spent together. I would literally only sleep for 4 hours a night at my ex boyfriends PARENTS house. and start over every day.
