Some months ago, my father and his common law wife broke off their relationship in which they were together for over ten years. I thought he was taking it well until he started to do various chores for ex-GF like fixing the house, creating and managing her garden. Now small chores for her isn't the problem I have, the real trouble is that this isn't the first time they've broken up, and he always repeats the same cycle of bending down to her whims, and getting back together with her. This would be the third time now.
Only recently he signed over his vehicle to her, now he has no car. He's no longer in a relationship with her, yet he puts her needs and wants before his. This pattern is really starting to scare me, and I don't scare easily at all. I believe there may be a serious underlying problem to this, but I'm very reticent to confront my father about this, and on the other side I want to shake him stupid for being so weak. My dad means the world to me, he's helped me out more times than I could know, but this is grating on my nerves, what he's doing goes against everything he's taught me.
I need a passionless, impartial, opinion on this before I can decide anything. I'd appreciate any relevant input.
