This is my first post. But while I’m older than most of you, I can definitely relate to your pain and frustrations.
So this is the situation. About 2 years ago, I re-connected with someone in my high school class. We live about 300 miles apart so it’s just been phone calls.
At first she seemed really happy to hear from me. She would say ‘I have watched everything on Netflick a hundred times’. Glad you called.
And we would talk late into the night starting around 10 pm until maybe 1-2 am. We would talk about how our life had gone over the years. But while I was always an open book , I felt like she was always holding back info on her past. She gave out just enough to get by with unlike me that was happy to tell her anything.
Everything was fine for about 6 months. She had held a good job but through bad choices, she basically was broke renting a room in someone’s house living hand to mouth.
I told her to try to collect off her dead husband’s social security when she hit 60 which she did and suddenly two things happened.
1. She now had a bit of money supplemented by a part time job.
2. Now we have short talks of about 30 minutes and then she has to go to bed or take care of this, or have to solve her daughter’s latest problem.
I feel like I was the good guy in this and in typical female fashion, she is trying to dump me now she has some money.
Ideas?
