Dear Reader:
You are both pretty young to be saddled with so much responsibility. Your ladyfriend is probably stressed about finances, and when she's worried, she takes it out on you. Your age difference is not too great for your relationship to succeed, but you need to be sure you're acting like an adult, taking as much responsibility as you can, being helpful to her and creating a partnership with her to make it work. She already has two kids, she doesn't need you acting like a third kid, being needy and demanding her attention. "Asking for What You Want" and "Stop Reacting and Start Relating" can help you learn to solve problems without fighting, How to Be Happy Partners: Working It Out Together is exactly the book you both need to learn how to build a successful relationship.
