Where do you draw the line between pride and your girlfriend's feelings? When you know she needs you and when you know she just wants to see you? When you cut her so deep because you just won't give in and come see her because you don't want to take cash from her, which is so honorable its amazing but she's sitting there near tears after the worst day she's had in forever...when does your pride take a backseat to her needs? She's biting her tongue because she knows how you feel but you're cutting her deeper every time you tell her no. And she's damn well stranded at home, with no way to come see you. Why let her cry herself to sleep because you're afraid to give a little? She's practically begging for a few hours of feeling secure and you're telling her to suck it up and deal with it until YOU can do something about it without her help. So right now she's miserable, having cried herself to sleep, having tossed and turned half the night worrying about things that are going on and wishing you'd just show up at her job except the help she's willing to give to help HERSELF feel better. Because as we speak she's fighting back tears because she's scared and feeling like every time she gets ahead she gets knocked back 10 feet. She sees it from your point of view, she's accepted a lot of things aren't going to happen because you NEED to take care of it your way. All she wants is a few hours of knowing when push comes to shove you'll be there for her no matter what. So maybe you should just try being there for her right now when she needs you most.
