I met this sheltered girl my own age (26) who lives with her mom taking care of her young sister because her mom works out of town almost all the time. She's had one job in her entire life in her teens. She lacks a lot of basic relationship do's and don'ts one learns through trial an error. She's trapped in that life and collects welfare which her mom mainly uses to help pay the house bills.

The day I met her I picked her up and took her back to my place where we got naked and did everything but penetration. She was a virgin so I wasn't too disappointed, virginity kind of psyched me out but she was desperate to lose it, embarrassed she had not lost it by her age.

Time went on and we fucked or were sexual every time we hung out. I had no other options during the entire 6 months, so sometimes we would sleep over, cuddle or go out. Despite me being straight up in that I do not want a relationship, I lived out a de facto relationship for the past 6 months.

Lately she's been getting deep feelings, and said she needed space a week ago. Today she texts me with this big thing that space is going to do nothing because her feelings will only increase. She says she knows I don't want a relationship so this time she would part ways for good.

I have a reverse oneitis mindset toward her now in that I don't believe she's the last chance I'll ever get at companionship, but that I'm the last chance she'll ever get for companionship and I feel sadness for her. I feel the pull to sacrifice myself and be with her despite not being too interested beyond physical companionship, not to mention I have not had emotional and/or physical intimacy with other women years before she came along.

I know the right thing to do here is cut off because I'm not interested in a relationship with her and frankly the sex was boring and I'm not turned on by her much.

When I imagine her future I imagine her being totally alone surrounded by crappy family who treat her badly, trapped in a world of no money and no plan, depressed as shit. I feel the pull to rescue her. I know it isn't my job to save her. Despite all I have said she is a good person who is not clingy and is easy going.

I have not responded to her wall of text tonight as I planned to think about my response. When I think about tomorrow when I wish her good luck and all the best in life, the thought of the permanent loss saddens me because I don't want the responsible for inflicting such sadness on her because she didn't do anything wrong.

Opinions?
