A man admitted that he was forced to make a difficult decision regarding his relationship after no longer being able to financially support his girlfriend.

He shared on Reddit that his girlfriend is in a financially precarious place and he no longer wants to be the one to support her while also trying to support himself.

He decided to let his girlfriend be homeless after spending thousands of dollars to try and keep her afloat.

In his Reddit post, he explained that he’s been dating his long-time friend for the past 7 months, and while he’s always loved her, she has a recurring problem. He claimed that she has a hard time finding and keeping a residence for any length of time.

“She has no family that is responsible enough to turn to and her friends are all either moved out of state or married with children so she doesn’t have many places to turn to,” he wrote. “Not long after we started dating, about a week, she confessed to me she was behind on her bills. Rent [and] car payment, to the point that she couldn’t provide for herself.”

Since the two of them had been friends long before they started dating, he had no issue giving her the $700 that she needed to take care of her bills and other expenses. The money helped her for some time before she ended up getting sick and missed a week of work because of the illness and ended up falling behind on her payments once more.
