Open Question: What would you do in this situation?
Me and my boyfriend have been togather almost 5 years this October 10. Every since I've moved here he's had maybe 4 jobs that he held down for not even a year. I work and pay all the bills. Mind you when i first got here it was hard for me to find work, but i have found one and have been working every since. I have 3 children from a previous relationship and lost one by my boyfriend. Our relationship hasn't been perfect and we've been through a lot. He used to hang out all night til almost 2 in th morning. He got locked up and no one was there to look out for him. His own family wouldn't do anything for him! I was going to college and work and to the jail to see him on my day off! While he was in jail he wrote and said he would go look for a real job and get on the right track. But time he got out he didn't try to do anything! Still isn't...i mean he has a part time job but i know he can do better if he wanted to! While he was in jail, he told me that he didn't blame me if i didn't wait for him. I did meet this guy but it was when i first moved here and he was a transit driver, We exchanged numbers and talk a lot. He works all the time and goes to college to become a nurse. Am I wrong if i want to talk to and go out to dinner with him? My boyfriend doesn't seem like he's going to get it togather anytime soon. He's going back to his old ways, fast money. That's how he got put in jail last time. What would you do? Explore other options or stay in the realtionship with the boyfriend? Please don't be quick to judge. No one on this earth is perfect.
