“I've been in a relationship with someone for almost 5 years now. We've broken up around 4 times for different reasons, but somehow we always find our way back to each other. Sometimes he makes me feel so loved, but on other days he becomes distant and completely ignores me, which honestly hurts. I also help him financially whenever he needs it, not because I expect anything in return, but simply because I love him. However, I've noticed that he's often sweet and polite when he needs financial help, but when I'm the one who needs emotional support, he sometimes just disappears. It makes me question where I stand in his life and, sometimes, even my own worth. I don't know if I'm expecting too much or just asking for the bare minimum.”

If you are unsure, ask yourself if you're seeing your future self with him. If yes, talk about it with him. If not, dump him. When he reacts like any manipulator or asshole would do (begging, lovebombing, bread crumbing etc.), immediately dump him. I see a lot of red flags right there. Did he do something financial for you in return once in a time ? If not it seems somehow it's toxic/he uses you. But my advice would be: talk about it with him, and react accordingly. God bless you.
