LEARNING TO SAY NO!!!! PLEASE HELP

Respect yourself enough to stand up for yourself; your feelings, concerns, and opinions and ask for what you want. Also, learn how to say “no” without feeling guilty

Hello happytobeme.

You feel sorry for him and his messed up life that he created for himself. You can't make him stop using people; but you can make him stop using you, by not giving him another dime or letting him eat your food. Get a grip! Are you going to let him sponge off you forever? Take your confidence back and get this man out of your life. Let somebody else deal with it. You have enough on your plate already.

Luvpiggy's suggestion on looking into the co dependency subject is a good idea. I had gone to co dependency meetings for a year at one time and they helped me a lot. It really opened my eyes about my own behavior also - as to why I was choosing certain people to be with. Anyway, I don't see this subject mentioned much anymore.
