Their customers are saving an average of $800 a month by wiping out high interest debt. That's money that stays in your pocket to fight back against rising costs, no upfront fees, no pressure.

Okay, so today, I'll be delivering some sage advice, or at least reasonably defensible advice to some lost souls, the most hopelessly lost souls imaginable, who are the ones on Reddit. So we'll go through a couple of these from various Reddit forums. Am I the one for not feeling anything when my girlfriend cries? I, 26 male, have been dating my girlfriend, 25 female, for a little over three years. Now, during the last two years, she's been going through a rough time mentally. She's had quite a few problems regarding her education. Because of this, she's been very emotionally unstable, which includes her crying about anything and everything. She would cry even if even the smallest thing didn't go according to her plan and act irrationally about a lot of things. In the beginning, I try to be as supportive as possible, talk over the things with her, try to understand her side of it. I would cuddle her for hours until she felt better and then repeat the same routine day in and day out for many, many months.
Dear God. It's been about two years of this now, where I've tried to push her into talking about it with psychiatrists, which she adamantly agreed to, but stopped every single visit, which she didn't feel a good connection with that person, which I think is totally valid. But now I'm having a hard time getting her to find another one since she doesn't believe that she can find someone who would actually try to help her. I'm starting to feel numb when she cries because it's been happening so often and about things I have such a hard time relating to, I feel so for this. And I wish that this wasn't the case, but I'm starting to just feel annoyed whenever she cries for the smallest thing that most people would just shrug their shoulders over. I really love her and I don't want to end up possibly resenting her for this behavior, but I really don't know what to do. I feel so horrible with how my mind thinks about the current situation. So, I mean, you are for continuing to date this person. I don't mean to spoil the ending here, but the obvious answer is that you should break up with this crazy broad. You're only dating her, you have no commitment to her, you don't owe her anything, your relationship is barely even real. So, just break up with her. Like if you're just dating someone, it's barely real. You're not engaged and you're not married, it barely exists. That's why you're not supposed to date for very long. You date for a short amount of time and then you get engaged, and then it's more real, and then you get married and now it's very real. But before that, it's hardly even real. Like it's trivial, actually. Dating is a trivial thing. You want to graduate to something that's not trivial, but you're in the trivial stage right now. So the answer to a situation, I'm dating someone and they're behaving horribly, and they make me feel terrible to be around them. What should I do? Break up with them? What do you mean what should you do? Obviously break up with them. What does there even think about? Now as to the specifics of the situation, which are academic because you should just break up with her. But people who are having a tough time mentally and everyone around them know about it by having meltdowns and crying and making everything about themselves. Those people are what is known as narcissistic assholes. And she is doing what narcissistic assholes do, which is making herself the main character and then using manipulation and emotional blackmail against you if you dare say anything about it. Or even if you simply fail to react exactly as she prefers. So you feel bad for having a very human normal reaction to all of this.
