DEAR DEIDRE: MY boyfriend treats me like his personal bank and I\u2019m sick of it \u2013 but I can\u2019t leave him because he\u2019d have nowhere to go.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re both 33 and have been together for four years. Our relationship is pretty rubbish. We don\u2019t have fun or talk.<\/p>\n

We spend the evenings sitting on the sofa, looking at our own laptops or phones and barely speaking.<\/p>\n

As for sex, that has never been great. We rarely do it and, when we do, there\u2019s no snogging or foreplay. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s all over in a few minutes from start to finish. I don\u2019t orgasm and I\u2019ve given up pretending.<\/p>\n

The problem is, he is awful with money and has no savings. <\/p>\n

Get in touch with the Dear Deidre team<\/h3>\n

Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors.<\/p>\n

Fill out and submit our easy-to-use and confidential form and the Dear Deidre team will get back to you.<\/p>\n

You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page.<\/p>\n

He runs out of cash before the end of the month, so he borrows from me. <\/p>\n

He says he\u2019ll pay me back, but of course he never does.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t end the relationship because he wouldn\u2019t cope alone.<\/p>\n

DEIDRE SAYS:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>You\u2019re trapped in an unhappy relationship and you deserve so much more.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s natural that you worry about your boyfriend\u2019s welfare, he\u2019s an adult \u2013and you\u2019re not his mum.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s taking advantage of your kindness. Don\u2019t let him emotionally blackmail you into staying.<\/p>\n

Speak to him and tell him how you feel. He may get a wake-up call.<\/p>\n

If nothing changes, my support pack Ending A Relationship may help you. <\/p>\n

Try talking to a friend or relative who can help you be objective.<\/p>\n
