I hope you don't mind I've fixed this to be more readable, Mike, so you can get the advice you need without any confusion in the message. I had to read it a couple times, initially.

Translation with grammar, paragraphs, and punctuation:

Instantly, as soon as we started dating, she moved in with me. It wasn't set in stone, but she came over one night and we were glued at the hip, lol. Then, it was like, well your living with me, she spent all of her time with me.

I fell in love, so did she. I'm not using that word lightly, as I've only told one other girl that, and she had my child.

However, there was a flaw with my Girl, she didn't have a job. I'm not a rich kid, I work a full time, dead end job, but I'm currently doing my schooling to better myself.

She didn't seem to have any motivation, so I helped her. I helped her get a job waiting tables ( i know its not the best, but times are hard). She HATED it - and I hated that she hated it. Soo, I helped her get a different job at a hotel cleaning rooms. She hated that one even more, but she stuck to it. I was proud.

Then, one day, she was like, "I really hope you get this new job ( making $32 an hour). I dunno how much more i cant take of this. I was so in love, I told her, "Baby, go ahead and tell them you can't come in tomorrow, and you can get a better, easier job." ( she said the hotel was too hard...) She did and it was ok. But then, nothing happened. 45'ish days went by and she never even tried to get a job. I had to ride her just to get one application and its sitting right here on my desk....

It really got to me. I was working overtime to support us, I was paying for EVERY THING - car, food, lights, water, rent, cable, etc. She would just sit at home watching tv and movies. I wont sugar coat it, I became an ******* and very quickly felt like I was falling out of love.

2 days ago we kinda got into a fight and I told her to "come here" -i needed to talk to her. I said, "I don't think its working out, you haven't even made an effort to get a job - nothing," and I broke up with her. She cried a little, but got most of her stuff, the necessities, and left. The past few days have been horrible for me.

Right before I found this website I realized something, I wasn't very supportive in helping her get a job, I kinda just "rode her ass" or was like "did u do anything today besides sit on your ass" - haha- I told you I was being an ass. We haven't talked much since the break up and I was wondering what you people think about me trying to talk to her?

Maybe say that I realize that its as much of my fault that we weren't happy in the end, as it was yours - that I didn't support you and give you good encouragement, just negative reinforcement.... or is she just lazy ... i can remember a time when she had 2 jobs at the same time, so i don't understand why she didn't have one now. I wanna hear some input before I make a decision. Thanks.

Okay - better.

My input is .... you should not contact her for ANY reason. She's a freeloader with no motivation. Yeah, you probably feel bad, but you did what you had to do. Maybe this dose of reality is the jolt she needs to get her rear in gear and do something with her life, other than sit around on her ass watching TV and eating bon bons.

Kick her to the curb, plenty more fish in the sea and you may be surprised how much better someone else could be for you in your life.

Hey if she refuses to get a job, is it really your job to support her the rest of your lives? IMHO, no. If she isn't gonna respect you to atleast try to get a job then she isn't good enough for you. Everyone deserves to be respected in life.
Good Luck.

Default I need help please asap

I truly think you moved this girl into your place way too soon. How well did you know her or anything about her past? You fell in love physically first and although that happens a lot, it doesn't make it a good way to have a secure relationship.

If you still care about this girl, keep separate living places...you stay in yours and she stays in her own until you can see that she can take care of herself and find a good job. You are both very young and need to find your own ways before you can take care of anyone else.

Don't be thinking that it is your fault that this didn't work and she had to leave. She is old enough to find a job on her own and perhaps you should have supported her but it is her responsibility to find work. You should not have to lead her by the nose to a job. I don't think that telling her to get off her lazy ass was smart but frustration can and will make you say a lot of mean stuff.

So, in the meantime, see her if you want to but don't move her back in until you are BOTH secure with a job. Good Luck!!
