Not to mention I've seen at least 5 people flunked out first year of university. And yes, a break to sort out your life IS VERY RATIONAL, SMART THING TO DO... (so for goodness sake please do so and take some break/fun time another way).

Ok ok, yes first relationships (especialy deep ones) are hard to get out of but like others have said, get some guts and deliver her the message (and not in a itsy voice). If she wants to live like a princess then tell her fine, but HELL NOT WITH YOU. Wait, in fact YELL your fustration to her instead of posting any more of this. If she's using her past relationships to point out things that she dosn't like that you've done or what not, then outright tell her that, that is you and to take it or leave it.

OPERATION CODENAME: TRY THIS WTF:

Girl: Hey hon am gonna play Wo....
You... (Gets a scissor and cuts the power cords in two or smashes the monitor)
Girl: (whoa!!!!)
You: (before she says a word) calmly say: we need to stop playing this game and fix our fucking lives first.
Girl: Damn right! Now why the fuck did you...
You: SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKING BITCH OR I AM GONNA BITCHSLAP YOU BA.. (cuss all you want and then end it calmy with a: I am the MAN in this HOUSE so listen now and listen good.)
Girl: Whoa!
You: (again before she says a word calmly say) Now look, do you want this relationship to work? coz Im fucking tired of you treating my like shit
Girl: Hey, youre the..
You: (again before she says a word shout) SHUT THE F UP DID I ASK YOU A QUESTION!?!?! WTF?
Girl: (Will probably begin to tremble and sob)
You: We need to work together... (tell her all the shit you're tired of putting up with)

It is then here where you will see if she really wants to be in this relationship with you and is willing to work things out and compromise. If she doesnt and keeps on yapping like a black woman, then bottom line is, you dont deserve each other so end it and shove her and the kid out the door.

Fixed.

That's the worst idea I've ever heard. Either you've never had a girlfriend yourself, or every single relationship you've had has ended in lawsuits and additions to your criminal record. :/

I don't have any advice of my own for the thread starter. Sorry.

I feel you but I have nothing to offer. I was giving my girlfriend hundreds of dollars a week, 3 or 4 usually, and she doesn't even live with me. She lives at home with her mom and has a better job than I do, and has classes and no kids. She somehow convinced me to help her pay off her debt. I cut the money off, last week once I realized how long I'll stagnate if I keep putting myself behind $1,000's of dollars. The initial haze of our attraction has settled and now because I've been feeling used and confined. I'm working on breaking up with her, myself. She's clingy, possessive, and makes me feel guilty for having friends by making me choose between them all the time.

I'll watch this thread for any useful coping mechanisms but I think the bottom line is that you need to assess how much you're willing to take, then simply put your foot down. The act is going to come within you. You can evict her in a legal, roundabout way if you can prove that she plays no financial role. It'll take a while, but it can be done. Hopefully you can afford the place on your own long enough to endure the process and find a roommate.
