writes: We're both 21 years old and I have been living with my boyfriend for 10 months and for a while now I have been feeling more like a chauffeur, a mother, a roommate, and a maid to him. The last thing I feel like is his girlfriend, unless he wants to have sex. In fact, after taking care of him and everything I just am not that interested in sex anymore either. I've been paying bills for two months now since he wasn't able to find a job, I don't know if the financial strain has made me question us or what, but I'm not happy. Should I leave him?

You say that you aren't happy. I doubt it is just the financial strain that has made you question the relationship after everything else you mentioned. Before leaving him have a sit down. Discuss everything you just said and hear his side. If he doesn't attempt to make a change or even care about how you feel then leave. If he seriously wants to keep you around then let him know there will be no more of this driving him around mother business. The fact that you aren't happy is enough to say that if this situation isn't resolved then you need to pack your bags. Good luck.

You'll need to sit down with him and tell him how you feel and that you think the relationship is going nowhere (if you think that).
Tell him about the financial strain and that you're paying ll the bills and buying all the food and that if he doesn't get a job then you'll leave him. Be firm.
(The above only applies if he isn't trying or does have a job)
Good luck
