I know somewhat how you feel. Attracting losers that is.

You feel sorry for them, help them constantly, but no matter what they just never seem to get ahead. They just keep going backwards to square one.
Its a vicious cycle and honestly its not your job to change it. I know I used to think I could really help, but I learned the hard way and ended up getting cheated on and used in the process. Not fun.

My suggestion to you is that you have a good head on your shoulders when it comes to your career right? You basically own that condo right? Or at least you pay most of the bills etc right? You could live there alone possibly Im guessing. Or, you could get a roommate that you know who WOULD contribute.

Anyways, let him go. If you aren't even really happy with him, whats the point in staying with him? Like the others said, be happy your not married to him and stuck. Its a lot easier to get out of this situation now, then if you were. As for the dog, yeah thats gonna be the tough part. But, seeing as he can't really hold a job, I kinda doubt he would be able to care for it or be able to feed it properly. So, I would keep the dog.

See for me my dogs are like family to me. That is why I would NEVER get a dog with a bf. If I were to EVER get a pet mutually, I would at least be married. Because honestly THIS is what I would be afraid of. Plus my track record with relationships isn't the greatest so um, yeah.

Honestly, you can do better though. I know, as someone in the medical field myself, you have the caring, nurturing, and helping gene in you. But, you just can't save them all. Sucks, but its true.
