Well, it looks like you are stuck, because you allowed yourself to become 100% financially dependent on a man who does not really care about you. You'll just have to accept his treatment of you or risk homelessness. Not much of a choice, is it.

You have two choices:

1.) Put up with it and be the "other" girlfriend. He has two girlfriends. Doesn't sound like you are the main one.
You just have to decide if you can accept that.

2.) Make an exit plan and leave.

Although it sounds like you have put yourself in a difficult spot being homeless. Don't you have family or other friends that can help you out? Make a plan how you can put yourself in a better financial place.

Nothing is going to change. You can't make people change, you can't make someone treat you better.
You can only change yourself.

No...

OP
...

This is a reply of yours that I referred to...

He even said when we first met that he wanted to make her jealous by taking me to a Christmas party she was at. I asked him about this just last night and he said he did it to get back at her because she had made him jealous or some bs like that.

So why did you become involved with him in the first place given the above reply of yours?

Extricate yourself from this. We've all made relationship mistakes. Best not to drag it out any longer, falsely hoping things will change, but cut your losses and move on.

Long story short, the friend I was staying with also has two large dogs and we had to keep them separate. It was quite difficult and stressful for all. My female dog just adores him. And my senior, well I wanted his last days to be peaceful and this is a better living situation for them. I am putting my senior down tomorrow. Will be the hardest thing I ever had to do.
I am so very sorry your senior pup is ill. I wish I could give you & pup a big hug...((hugs)).

Please, take gentle, good care of yourself.....

People spend time with who is the most important to them, and that's not you. I'm sorry.


Assuming he didn't ask you to go? and that you were available. Is it just as convenient to come your house to shower and nap?
Agree.

I wouldn't appreciate my GF doing what you describe, and I don't even really consider myself a jealous person, but something doesn't fit quite right about it. It just may be on the up and up, but being that she's an ex throws a different dynamic into it, it was just a friend I wouldn't be as concerned.

Bottom line, trust your gut, I've been trying to learn to trust mine more.

Your gut is often times right.

Ah, he did not tell me he was taking me to the Christmas party to make the other person jealous until just recently, he said it without thinking about who he was talking to. It just came out. Had I know that in advance of moving in with him, yes, those behaviors would have been a red flag.
