There’s this older guy I had been seeing for a while. He’s cool and all but he’s an asshole. He calls me stupid, he always tells me “What do you bring to the table?” To guilt trip me and make it seem like I need him. I work but he makes waaay more money. I never ask him for money, the only thing he spends on me is food, but that’s because he invites me to go eat. If I’m ever at work and ask him to bring me something, I pay for it. If I ever have money left over, I offer to pay for our food. It’s not that I expect him to pay (even though he’s the one who invites), it’s just that I never have enough money after bills & he works in the refineries, is living with his mom to earn so I know money isn’t an issue for him. Especially when he’s always inviting me out. For the longest, I’ve been wanting to end things with him but he will tell me things that make me feel bad so I go right back. Recently, I was in an Uber with a religious lady (my truck fucked up) & she tells me “I can feel you have such a sweet spirit. I just want to tell you that god is asking me to speak to you. He wants you to know you’re in the right path but there’s relationships in your life that are distracting you. And you need to value the woman inside you, have the courage to tell that person that you’re not being treated the way you should be. Sometimes words aren’t enough & the best way to show that person is through the absence of your presence in their life.”

Keep in mind I hadn’t told this lady ANYTHING. We were quiet pretty much for the entire ride until we were about 7 minutes away from my destination and she started talking to me.

Edit: I’ve blocked him but he goes to my house & I live with my mom (moving out on the 20th of this month). She loves him even though she sees how he is. She lets him in and tells me to talk to him
