Angelina currently it seems to me that this is not the case enough

Right.

Angelina you should not be with someone you do not love

Or keep wearing a belt with someone you love.

Vanessa More than a new boyfriend?

If I had enough money I wouldn't need a new boyfriend.

          Christine Or keep wearing a belt with someone you love.

          If you do not want to continue wearing the belt in the relationship, he has to accept that.

          Christine Right.

          as i said before your mother should care more about your happiness. that doesn't have to mean that she gives up the belt, but she should want to talk to you about when you are feeling bad and how you can become independent again.

                Angelina

                It would be close to living together.

                Christine Or keep wearing a belt with someone you love.

                Totally right....

                I know it well...🙁

                But it is not your case,presently,so not an argument you could use.

                Christine If I had enough money I wouldn't need a new boyfriend.

                Getting both would be better!🙂

                Angelina If you do not want to continue wearing the belt in the relationship, he has to accept that.

                I think she meant having to wear her belt even if she has a new boyfriend,as long as she lives in her mother's house.

                          Vanessa It would be close to living together.

                          yes, but so that everyone still has some private space

                          Vanessa Getting both would be better!🙂

                          I agree 🙂

                          Vanessa I think she meant having to wear her belt even if she has a new boyfriend,as long as she lives in her mother's house.

                          ah ok, yes i assume that, but then there are two options. either to accept it or to try to live together.

                                Angelina If you do not want to continue wearing the belt in the relationship, he has to accept that.

                                Two different issues.

                                Angelina and how you can become independent again.

                                She can't help with it.

                                Vanessa Getting both would be better!

                                But I wouldn't depend on him.

                                        Christine She can't help with it.

                                        maybe not materially but psychologically. by the belt she rather strengthens the dependency. i would suggest a deal. the belt as long as you live with her, but she tries everything so that you don't live with her longer than necessary.

                                            Vanessa When do you think you would have enough money to live on your own?

                                            I am not sure yet, especially with covid uncertainty

                                            Vanessa Do you think she may ask you to continue wearing it?

                                            I hope not!!!

                                            Vanessa Technically,he had already met her during the holidays,right?

                                            Yes but only in passing, it is 'formal now'

                                            Angelina yes, admittedly it is not very long, but they seem to be very much in love and it would help her to be able to escape from the equipment at least for the time being

                                            It is only te start of the relationship and we are not ready yet for that

                                                      Angelina but she tries everything so that you don't live with her longer than necessary.

                                                      Well, if she pays my rent she will also require the belt.

                                                          saras It is only te start of the relationship and we are not ready yet for that

                                                          Take your time. To jump in a relation only to get out of the belt is not a good reason.

                                                            that's ok of course, a relationship has to develop first, but over a longer period of time you should consider this as an alternative.

                                                            Christine Well, if she pays my rent she will also require the belt.

                                                            i rather meant that she might be able to support you professionally in some way. maybe there is a job in her company that you can do to earn your own money

                                                                  Angelina i rather meant that she might be able to support you professionally in some way. maybe there is a job in her company that you can do to earn your own money

                                                                      Christine She does in that sense.

                                                                          5 days later

                                                                          Angelina if you have a job, you should look for your own flat

                                                                                      Angelina so she helped you to find a job that pays badly so you don't have enough money to move out? then keep the job but continue to search for a better one on the side. you can put your current job as a reference

                                                                                              James I am not sure she really wants help or to be unbelted.
