Answer:

Me too Cheryl. That's what he was TOXIC. Not sure if he was cheating on me, but I literally took care of everything for him. He's been texting me and hooking up with me and I just found out from someone he has another girl moving in with him! Seriously, Starrshine, LOOSE HIM! CHANGE YOUR NUMBER!!!! It will hurt at first, but you will feel like a better person!

Answer:

Hi - My name is Cheryl - I just got out of a 9 year relationship with someone who was toxic to me. It was (and is) very hard as we are still friends. I left in November of 2007 and just can't seem to break all of the ties. I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that I deserve better - I was being used also - not necessarily for money but I was always the errand runner, sex object - etc. - there was no other woman but he pretty much came and went as he pleased - It's ME who has the problem - as long as I keep the door open - why wouldn't he keep coming back - soooooooo my advice to you is the same advice I keep giving myself - break it off completely! I haven't done it yet either but that is the answer.
