So I'll make this short. I've been seeing this girl for about 2 years. I'm about 23. I met her in college. What was originally a nice relationship has turned into one where we don't do anything anymore, she's needy (I do all the chores, she never cooks or does much of anything), whines, and is just annoying. She's also gained a lot of weight and just treats me like crap.
So why am I still with her? Easy.. we used to be in love and honestly there's still probably a bit left. Also, her dad got me a nice job back in her hometown for once I graduate (in about a week). He doesn't work there and never has, but just barely knew a guy there and recommended me. He was kinda shocked when I got it because he didn't know the guy very well. It only pays mid 40s but it's a great job title and the living expeses in this area are cheap. Her parents adore me and I like her parents too -- it's too bad I'm dating her and not them...
So I'll be living in the same city as her/her parents, albiet in a different part of town. I've made some good friends through her and it'll just be weird if we break up, but as you can tell, it's probably the best move.
So do I start the job for a while, and then gradually let it be known that we aren't working out? That's what I'm thinking I should do. We've already told each other numerous times that we wanted to break up, but never have.
I just know there's somebody else out there better for me, and I shouldn't have to deal with taking care of 99% of everything she ever needs when I get next to nothing in return.
For xmas she already got me a pretty nice present, so I'm not sure what to do. We graduate soon and I don't want to do anything until maybe she's situated back at her home with her parents.
