LIFE SUCKS

untitled story

my life sucks. i'm turning 26 in a few days and i'm trapped in an uncaring relationship with a girl with no job, and no desire to get a job. we used to be friends, since high school. she and i would hook up all the time behind our lovers' backs. it was our secret thing. we always liked each other, but never wanted to commit. then her father dies. i come to her rescue, she has no one else. now my family and i are her only support system. she and i live together in a little city, i go to work everyday, and she stays home drinking and smoking. she has no license. occasionally she will get shitfaced and do something stupid or come home at 4am. not to mention that she cheated two times at the beginning of our relationship and i had to forgive her because i felt like she needed me. our mutual friends are stuck in the middle of us, and i feel like i'm losing them. it's been a year and a half, and i know what the obvious answer is, but i'm scared for her.
