reader, anonymous, writes (11 April 2007): First of all, I'm really sorry that you find yourself in this difficult and obviously confusing situation. You're obviously are a caring person and want to help this guy but at the same time it is not your job to rescue people from the situations that they put themselves in. You must understand that there are lots of people out there willing to offer professional advice to him, and that is what would help him more.
If you continue to try and help him you could soon find yourself in a co-dependant relationship leaving you more of a carer than a partner. I know that you care about him, but perhaps the best thing you can do is explain your feelings to him and leave for your own well-being.
Also, if you are hanging on yet you do not hold feelings for him then you are harming him more in the long term.
