Basically right now from her I have $800/mo

Rent here is $610
Utils are about $100
Gas driving her to work monthly $100
(She can not be in the heat- I must drive her both ways about 5 miles)

So you do the math

Last month it cost me about $700 to be here with her (it is her apartment, bills got behind) but she'd been on the street without my help

And I WAS staying in a hotel room that cost me $700/mo
I was happy there but we always were together anyway and this is a lot better - she is convenient to cook and blow me and everything - great company when she's not thyroiding out

We're working together and it's great but dealing with someone going through this thyroid thing WILL drive a man INSANE
