You seem way too easygoing here and he's clearly taking advantage. As for marriage? Don't sweat it, man, he's just trying to get laid. He probably hasn't seen anything like you before since he's being so desperate to force a relationship with someone who literally told him she's not interested, just so he can win you over....whatever, I guess he's a real catch.
Once things actually go south, you're gonna be in deep and won't be able to shake him. If only you were more mentally stable, but honestly, he'll probably get what he wants long before you ever get justice.
Exactly. First off, I totally agree that you haven't gained a single damn thing by putting up with him—other than adding another massive, repulsive headache to your life. And let's call it what it is: he’s using you just as much as you’re using him. You're both just two losers standing on the edge of a cliff. Just end this ASAP and learn how to actually live on your own. You aren't going to drop dead from being a little lonely, though maybe you could actually raise your standards a bit instead of just latching onto every single person who offers you a hand.
The guy doesn't even respect himself by staying with you after everything he knows and everything you've told him—so why on earth should you respect him? Then again, why would anyone respect *you* if you don't respect yourself enough to stop wasting your precious time on someone you clearly don't even like?
Do something about this immediately—for your own sake—before this situation becomes a chronic disaster. Otherwise, you're going to end up carrying the label of someone who has zero self-respect and zero class. And you admitted it yourself, didn't you? That this exact kind of mess has happened to you before. Stop this downward spiral right now while you still have the chance.
