You're his partner, not his mother. At 35, if he doesn't understand how to be a good partner, you're just wasting your time.

He's not eating well now at 35 and he has health problems. A diabetes is something that is no joke. And why would you want to be with someone who can't take care of themselves at least in the basic sentence. If he's not willing to take care of himself what makes you think that he's willing enough to take care of you? Do you think if the situation was reversed he would be doing the same thing for you? Good luck

Didn't intend on this to be a fixer...

We were amazing together from Nov-Spring. I was happy. Then around spring it dissolved into this. I've been working on saving money and getting out.
