Ok, so, i am in a bit of a dilemma. I've been seeing this girl, she's kind of a real piece of work. Let me explain. She's the same age as me, but already has a kid. She got pregnant by a pretty much career criminal. Car thief, fighting, violent, etc.

But, surprise surprise, he's in prison for the next 4 or 5 years. After she had the baby, i met her and we started to date.

My friends tell me i'm being used. I've seen letters from the prison in the mailbox, but she says she always ignores them.

She always asks to borrow money, or my card to buy laundry detergent or something. But it'll always be the smallest, cheapest bottles. But the amount missing off my card doesn't match up at all.

I mean, i met her mom and she's been insistent that i stay with her daughter. She told me how nice it was her daughter is dating someone stable adn with a good job. Which i do, i have a good job, not a millionaire or anything, but i do all right.

Enough to buy us an apartment together, at least.

We've only slept together once, and that was for my birthday. Every night, she always seems to have an excuse. Mostly "I don't want to wake up the baby".

How can i know for sure if i'm just being used?
