Do you have a guy that lives off of you?  Do you support him not only emotionally but financially?  Do you pick up the tab every time you go out to eat?  These guys are the worst parasites.  They suck the blood and money out of you.  And I see more and more of them popping up all of the time.  I have two beautiful, successful, smart girl friends that are dating these leeches.  You would think they would know better.  You would think that they would know that they deserve better.  But they don’t.  I don’t know if it is their low self-esteem or something else.  But they are being taken for a ride.

I have noticed that normally these guys do not start off looking for handouts.  They are usually smooth talkers with big pocketbooks.  They will wine and dine, at first, to catch their prey.  Once they have you hook, line and sinker, they will cut off all financial benefits.  Listen, I’m all for women’s lib and paying for a dinner here and there, but when you are being taken advantage of-if you are a guy or a girl-then it is time to cut the leech loose.  When you are not only paying for his every dinner but rent, child support and nights out with the guys that do not include you-get out! 

Are there times in any relationship when financial struggles hit?  Of course.  A guy or girl can run into hard times.  That is one thing.  But when your significant other is unapologetically taking advantage of your good heart and paycheck then there is a problem.  And you know deep in your heart when that is.  When you can’t look your friends in the eye and tell them that you made his car payment for the fourth time in a row and he is going to Reno with the guys this weekend, there is a problem.

Please don’t let these guys-or girls-take advantage of you.  You deserve better.  You heart may ache for a little while when you let them go but your pocketbook and your head will sing a very rich song.
