Eh, it was a vicious cycle. A college relationship that went post-college and the difficulties of emerging into adult life while being held back by the college life strings. I would get away, then be drawn back into the mess by "emergencies." It was a yo-yo... point A point B, couldn't escape. One day, it broke and thankfully for good! My gf now is absolutely amazing, so down to earth... in a way that I didn't think women could (after the previous experience).
Well at least you had the option of money.

Man, those days were rough... POOR as hell. It was vicious though, because she made me feel like I was less of a man because I was just out of college with a terrible job making no money... talk about a vicious cycle. I had no moment of reprieve.
I think she was a sex/relationship/lifestyle/Dougie Howser newspaper columnist... I think her column was literally called "Sex in the City."
