OAKLAND — A grown man two rows behind me slumped in his seat, his blue poncho hanging loosely on his limp body. His eyes were open, but there was no human behind them. A woman standing over him launched F-bombs his way as vomit lay on the concrete below. In his drunken haze, this man was convinced he was in the right seat. For about three minutes, his significant other watched as the woman berated him. The row’s actual occupants stood nearby, waiting for their seats to open. Even after the man was finally dragged away, they sat elsewhere to avoid the vomit.

In fact, your sticking around as his girlfriend while your relationship clearly isn’t working could be adding to his distress right now, as opposed to comforting him, because he already knows you have one eye on the door. Anyone who’s been in this relationship limbo can speak to how draining it feels. Just as it is for people who are dealing with a loved one’s illness, the best path for you might be to forget roles and expectations and appearances and just be present for the person you love. You may not feel a girlfriend’s worth of love for him, but you do care — as only a longtime companion can, I imagine, with all the history and familiarity that implies.
