It can be platonic, familial, romantic, anything.

I’ll start: I recently moved in with my boyfriend, who lives with his wife and their son. They were already separated when we met, but his wife doesn’t want to divorce or move out, and she wants their son to live with both of them. My boyfriend agreed to those terms.

So now I’ve found myself in a pretty unusual situation…

    I left them.

    I was a bad influence, and being around me would have fucked up their life. I lied, said I didn’t care, and left.

    Dated a trans guy for several years, thought I would marry him. Paid for his top surgery. Got it done at the same time I got my bottom surgery. We broke up a year later. Don’t pay for someone’s medical treatment unless you’re married to them. :/

    They were about to become homeless. I paid for their trip to me. I paid and did all the bureaucracy stuff and paid for their language courses hobbys and other. Only now they got a job, after 3 years of searching, that has them indipendend from me. Today they are my husband

      I’m gonna get some flak for this.

      But the whole while reading, especially coming from OP’s story, I thought you were referring to multiple people.

      How does dropping out of college help? If it’s someone who demands you drop out of college, they’re probably not going to treat you right, right? Do people not know about LDR?

    I’d love to hear a little more about how you handle your situation.

    Is it a friendly status quo they have, or is it war footing?
