Hey reddit,

Let's call me F and him K.  I've been dating K for two and a half years, and we've broken up several times because he feels overwhelmed.  I can understand this; I don't come from a well off family and have had to drop out of school to recover my finances.  With a lot of financial pressure on my end, he felt obligated to help me out...which turned into me depending on him a lot more than I wanted to.  Food.  Rides (I don't have a car.) Etc.

For a while I lost my job because our business wasn't doing well enough, and my boss had to let people go.  I got a new job recently and am finally making more money than I'm spending.  How do I show K that I don't want to be a burden to him anymore?  I try and bring him little surprises, but he just doesn't appreciate them anymore; it used to be that he at least thanked me.

I think the financial issues have led him to stop seeing me as attractive. He doesn't compliment me anymore, and sex is minimal.  What do?  I stay with him often because I feel like my emotional contributions are what's keeping us together.  I feel awful because he's always depressed, and I know I've been a huge contribution to it.
<bot>: Boyfriend felt obligated to help me during trying times.  I finally have the means to support myself again, but it feels too late.  How to recover from it?
