i've got the same thing going right now.
we're different types of people, but with a similar mindset.

i'll do anything for my g/f, but she doesn't appreciate it very much. Sure she says thank you, but does not truely understand things.

however, if anyone disrespects my parents like your girlfriend did,they'd get dumped(g/f) or get ippon'd face first into the pavement(anyone else).
that lack of respect is HORRIBLE.

you should ask your g/f if she'd like to help your mom get a can of pop or bag of popcorn, or to help her too the bathroom so she can do her business. Maybe then your g/f will see the light and change for the better.


as for the UTI stuff, keep at it and get some level of a degree, then as you said
you'll have a decent job while in college.

On a sadder note, my mom still hasn't gotten much back, and she is still waiting to get approved for physical therapy.

I remember reading that alot of spine damage will take a LONG time to recover from. The article I read from had a person who got hurt in a car accident. Something like C8 was crushed??

took 18 months before the person took their first assisted step. Another 2 years before they could walk on their own. And another x amount of years before they could walk without problems.

be strong my good man
you already have shown the mental toughness you'll be needing to help your mom.

Words of advise, get rid of her.
People that know me well know my previous gf of a long time, Nissa. Well after 4 years of me dealing with her controlling, bitching, general nasty attitude, I find out she had been cheating on me for 6 months. That relationship was officially over in Marchish of this year, but she started dating others, I found out around september of 2004 (probably on my b-day). Also that last year, I lost my mother to cancer (april 26, 2004) and Nissa wasn't really wasn't around to help me out through that.
Thats a little bit on my background...here is the advice.
It is really tough to let someone go, especially when it is your first "serious" relationship. This goes for men and women. You can bend over backwards for someone, but relationships are a 2 person involvement. If BOTH of you aren't happy, then someone is getting screwed over, thats that. You will be better off if you move on. Relatonships are not a one sided affair, if there isn't GIVE and TAKE then it is more of a obligation versus a relationship.
It seems at this point in your life you are dealing with many issues, you need someone there to help you sort them out, not add to them.
Life is to short to be miserable. If you don't like what you are doing, who you are with, or how life is going, change it.
You are the only person responsible for your actions. Your friends can help, your parents can help, and your significant other can help, but when the dust settles, YOU are ultimately responsible for your own happiness.
On a side note:
Its good to get stuff out of your system, I use to 'pent' now I just tell someone to STFU instead of bottling my anger. Emotions are a powerful source of energy. You can use them to your advantage to express yourself, or you can bottle them up and have them destroy you.
Best of luck in your future endevors.
Just remember to keep your head up, tommorrow is always another day.
Live for tommorrow, have fun today, and forget about yesterday, its already gone.

Get rid of her, I went through 5 years of hell and couldn't be happier now! Best wishes for your mom too, that must have been awful finding out about, but at least there is a chance she will be able to function again (even if only partially).

hey i know exactly how u feel because im going threw it right now, but the only advise i can give u is what im doing, she is moving out on friday with no choice... if u break up with her you could turn around and stands the person who is looking for u! not the one ud expect.....good luck with the situation

[Pimpin Dsmstyle]

Damn Nate. You are a crazy fucker. Anyhow, do what YOU feel is right about the woman. Everyone on here just knows what you said, and like every story, there is a lot more to it. Sorry to hear about your mom. If you need to vent at all, hit me up on aim ;) Good luck feeling better dude.

Honestly, don't worry about the $$ and time you've "wasted" even if you change your major. I've done the same thing and it does suck to have debt but I don't regret anything because it was those experiences that have made me who I am today. I'm not worried about my future at all, a little inpatient but not worried.

Its just unrealistic for people to go from k-12 to college, know their major and graduate in 4 years.

Since Im your roomate I say you should ditch her now!! Not only for the sake of yourself but for the sake of your friends. I remember this summer but the funny part is I dont remember seeing you very much unless you came into my work. She kept you from doing anything and everything. I remember the one time you were talking cars with a kid and she was there and she steped in between you too and said "SHUT UP ABOUT STUPID ASS CARS I WANT TO GO". She needs to go man she is messing your life up and now with what she sayed when you came home because your mom was in the hosipital. WTF who says you ruiend my weekend because of your mom. Should have been like "Sorry B!^(# but Im not god, maybe I should have prayed to him to see if he would put her injury on hold for you" then I would have said "Were done" click.
