Why do I keep myself in financial danger with BR?

[what'swrongwithme123]

Long story short: dating man for 5 years but he never had any real financial sense. He is now unemployed with no prospects and over 65 years old. I am very financially sound but have adult kids who need my help so I'm still working at 60 y/o. I know he is really trying to get a job and he inherited some money (but a modest amount) but I've been waiting for 6 months and nothing has changed (except his unemployment will run out next month). I know I should break things off but also know it will be really painful and I'll miss him terribly. I just can't seem to do what I need to do to get myself out of harm's way with him b/c I know I'll end up supporting him at least in part but he is such a good man and a great boyfriend otherwise. HELP!!!

You just need to read your own post as if you hadn't written it and go with the advice you would render.

 

Life at 60 isn't supposed to be supporting bums or leeches, look for another BF and one who won't drag you down thru your retirement.
