I'm trying to help my gal out and I FAILED, I wanted to help her out with dog visits and it blew. Today was better and my visit was good, but I need to get my shit together. I earned $12oo and just gave $1000 of it away to workers... being a smoker sucks

Morning Jarhead, I'd leave a helpful note, but I didn't follow any of that. Maybe it's me, my head is not happy right now. Want to fill in some of the blanks?

Well man, my lady owns a pet walking business (I wrote my post after a few glasses of whiskey) I'm pet sitting for a couple of dogs for her for the next 2 weeks. I'm doing good but all the money I'm making for was spent on the first day on the job. I'm trying to help her out because she has been by my side since I went in to "Treatment". I'm stuck in the position of being considered too disabled to work but not getting any money from disability and she has supported me the whole time. So I was just feeling kind of bummed that I was helping her out, but all the cash from it was gone before I could take her out on a date... I just want to feel like a man again. I've always taken care of the girls I've been with and now I feel like I've hit rock bottom. The only thing I can think of doing is digging to the other side.

Know what you're saying with the pride thing. But I read it again and I think there's something to be proud of. Sounds like you've got a good girl there. She knows the score and she's backing you. And you're helping her and she wants that too. Reason to be proud there, mate. Stick with it

Dude, make a lunck basket. Cut the sandwichs into fruity shapes if you have to. Get out there. She doesn't care about the money. Congradulations.

You need to be more creative. Get a bit soft even. Think about what she likes to do. Not shopping and eating out.
Think about doing the things that matter most. A good rub down, draw her bath and ler her watch her program on tv. Maybe make her a card or letter that helps her know you love her and all that.
We all goof off somewhere in our relationships. My wife knows I am trying when she come ghome to the "to do" being worked on. Or if I cook for her.
I have a hard time with this as well. But its important.
