Warning: please excuse the horrible writing...

It's terrible



Bascially would it be considered cheating if... I live with someone, am still connected to them emotionally but we're not physically intimate? Backstory, he and I were fooling around but I liked him enough to stick around and never dated anyone else. This was 2 years ago. Until me and Mr online Libra start talking, about year ago. At the point of talking, we are no longer physically intimate yet still share a household in a way. I never officially moved in. Always felt mildly uncomfortable because he is15 years older. Mr Taurus (guy I'm living with) has no children, did not have a job when I met him. And just about every outing we had, I paid for him. Skip forward to now years later that he has a job...i expect something like more dates or dinners, anything.. there is nothing honestly. He's not the passive aggressive type ever but he's oddly not a classical boyfriend who likes to spoil his lady..

I just want to know if I'm doing something wrong. I've liked Libra but havent told him about my situation as he's claimed he has no right to know. Things with Libra are heating up and I think he's serious..

On that note, I dont want to hold two people in my head, but I dont want to not give things a chance. Guy I'm with is 48, I am 32.... we're stuck because for me, living with him is my most affordable option. He hasnt kicked me out either. And I was pushed in a way to just live there due to covid (i was in between two places before covid. It's a weird situation.

Sorry for this rough draft, but what do you guys think? I do get the feeling that original man would be hurt if I moved on, then again, for all the things boyfriends do, he falls terribly short. I've always been the one to provide in a monetary sense. He is somewhat cheap with me.. well. Anyway, on the same hand, I dont want to rock the boat yet I have feelings for Libra. And he is mutual. I dont know what to do.

Tell him we’re going on a date and your paying . Taurus men are thick like that

They need to be led

Don’t wait for him to initiates u may have put ur hand in his trousers to get things going

I have to tell him to clean too. It's such a mood killer. And not necessarily clean the entire house but clean your bathroom. It gets disgusting. I'm not the cleanest but even I have limits and for gods sake, don't let your roommate, or whatever we are, get the toilet paper each time. He takes Taurus apathy to an extreme..

So you’re basically getting free rent, complaining about him not cleaning, not changing the toilet paper, and not spoiling you.

If that were me, his house would be sparkling every day to show my appreciation for making my life easier just as he made your life easier by saving you $ 500 on rent money.

I feel I made his life easier too by supplying whatever the house needed during his jobless year(s).. toilet paper, basic necessities, groceries. No, you're right, that isn't exactly rent. There is this weird thing with mail to where he doesn't check it, so I did that for about a year. And most recently drove him to the bank to deposit a check because he owes money in taxes..which he would have known had he gotten the mail. (And yes I did say several days beforehand)

However when he did get a job, I was willing to step up and start cooking because I knew how tiring it was to work every day and have no energy to cook. I don't know if he would the same necessarily. And I don't cook because he happens to get free lunches from work, ironically.

@alexiscaries , in that sense I am a bit codependent but lost faith at the same time. To me, a relationship is best when theres a shared sense of responsibility, a division of labor, but I don't get that sense from him which is why I'm resentful. I suppose I've enabled him all this time. Honestly, no one cleans, until I find it so bad that I need to something about it. If I'm a bad renter, I don't think he's the greatest roommate, but I will take the prize of bad renter..

No you're not cheating. People get hurt sometimes , that's life. He doesn't sound that into you anyway but he probably likes having you around because you're so much younger

The issue is you are a bit codependent perhaps so that's why you're feeling potentially guilty. If you had your own place of course you wouldn't be having these worries

I've actually been in a similar situation myself and I would say get out of it asap because the more time that goes by the more restricted you will feel/become in your life

What happened? I'm curious

I'm still there 😂 Same reason for you really - money - but chances are there's some sort of emotional dependency going on too

I would ask the million dollar question: what's stopping you but I don't wanna be a hypocrite haha.

Firstly make it clear to Taurus that you’re seeing someone else and there’s nothing there between you. If that means you need to find somewhere else to live then so be it.

Then, open up and explore the relationship with the libra.

You can’t have both hanging on, you’ll lose the libra and it sounds like that’s the one you want to concentrate on.

You should only stop doing those things when you provide your sense of responsibility with rent money. He’s enabled you this entire time.
