In high school I “dated” a girl since she claimed she’d kill herself if I didn’t. I felt sorry for her. She ended up having so many problems that I finally saw through it and ended things. Got a call from her years later and she was doing fine though still not quite right.
Then I fell for basically the same trap with someone else right out of college. Absolute disaster. I’ve learned my lesson now.

Life is full of hard lessons. The best we can hope for is to come out the other side without too much permanent damage.
Godspeed and good luck finding a quality partner.
