I have made the same experience. Maybe go the extra step and get a masters? I am almost finished and start applying for jobs. There is a huge pay difference in my area between bachelors and masters and those 1,5 years of taking classes are really worth it. If you can afford lasik, you can afford a masters.


My suggestion: not as many hours at the gym, sign up for classes, get your degree, work on your self esteem and find a better woman. This one is a disaster and will cost you more $$$ and nerves in the next few years than a masters degree will, I promise!

The Offspring - Self Esteem


I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
But she came over, I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her deserve
Now I know I'm being used
That's okay man 'cause I like the abuse
Well, I know she's playing with me
That's okay 'cause I've got no self esteem


We make plans to go out at night
I wait till two then I turn out the light
This rejection's got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so


When she's saying, all that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she saying, all men are like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess, I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care, right? Yeah
Now I'll relate, this little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night, she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and looking to score
Now I know, I should say no, but
That's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem


When she's saying, all that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying, all that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess, I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care, right? Yeah

It sounds like you have something going on that causes you to pick women who cannot offer you any kind of stability.

I am concerned about her daughter who was taken away from her. I think you are right that my current girlfriend must have been extremely abusive if her daughter was taken away from her. My girlfriend told me that her ex-husband was abusive toward their daughter. She showed me her text conversation with the foster parents on her phone on Sunday, and I think she said in one of her text messages that she was abusive toward her daughter. I have a question. If my girlfriend changes her ways in the future, is there any way she can get her daughter back?
If her daughter was adopted, no, she cannot get her back.

How does she treat her sons now?

My girlfriend is very nice to her sons, and she truly does cares for them. But the other morning after I spent the night at her place earlier this week, she took one of her sons to school. Fortunately, the older son is always very eager to go to school, and he gets up very early and waits for his mom to take him. But after she came back home, she tried to get her younger son up from bed, because he also needed to go to school. The younger child was very stubborn, and he would not leave the bed. She told him that she would give him five minutes to get ready. Sometimes, he would go to school late because it would take so long for him to get up from bed and get ready. One morning, I helped him on his homework, because he didn't do his homework on the previous night. I have asked her how her kids are doing, and if her younger son is getting his homework done. She told me that he is behind on his homework. I told her that he needs to go to school every day. I eventually had to leave to go to work, but honestly, I don't know if he went to school that day. I suspect that maybe she is overly nice to her kids and doesn't discipline them for fear of losing them to foster care.

Even if she hasn't been adopted by the foster parents, it's also possible she had to sign away her parental rights and won't be able to get her daughter back due to that.

UPDATE


I am still recovering from my laser eye surgery. I think that I will be back to normal in a few days. I am planning on meeting my girlfriend next weekend. We still text each other in the meantime.

In the meantime, is the other guy staying there?

My girlfriend told me that the other guy moved out. I believe that he still has some things in her garage, but he is not staying there anymore.

Now I understand perfectly that we can't see each other for a few days, because sometimes people want to be alone, spend time with family or friends, or have a girl's night out. I totally understand that, especially since I was with friends earlier this month. What I didn't understand is why I can't text her or communicate with her at all until Monday. I texted her even when I was hanging out with friends on a weekend earlier this month. Should I be concerned? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Because you are suffocating her. I mean, come on.

Stop texting her for a week. That should pretty well answer the question.
