We had the conversation. We both know we can't actually do anything - he said he'd leave if I wanted him to, but the fact is that I don't want him on his own, feeling miserable... I am still happy to look after him a while longer, but he says I have a tendency to look after waifs and strays and a lot of my male friends have been in that category - he's simply the most successful one. I said that I felt he was in a better place now than when I met him - and I think that's true, not just me being complacent.
It is possible that if my life begins to take off a bit with the book, then I will not be quite so stuck here, there will be more money for things, and maybe our relationship will improve. In a sense there's no impetus to change our life - it would take a third party to do that, and there is no 3rd party currently in view... so I suppose we will just continue. Has anything changed? I don't know - I don't feel I want to celebrate things like our wedding anniversary (imminent). I actually feel rather sad. Not depressed, just a bit low. Unsurprising, and yet nothing will change. I am more desperate to make money and get out from under the situation. Nothing really to say now, but there is a definite change in things.
