I'm sorry to hear that you're going through it. Has someone actually asked him what he's needing or what he's going through? Instead of looking at the symptoms, try to assess the cause. Once you figure that out, there may be some compassionate and constructive ways to support him as a person without supporting the behavior. This is a rough situation, Dub.

My sister and her boyfriend have had a leech co-existing with them and has been for years now. Before they were together it was just a bunch of boys living there but he never actually lived there but would always find an excuse to be over. This is still going on, every friday and saturday he will call my poor sister incesstantly to the point where her phone is now permanently on silent. And if he cant get through to her he will call her boyfriend and try and come up with an excuse to come over like to play videogames. When he is over he talks about useless, pointless things and he knows it! He doesnt contribute any kind of value to anything and just plain LEECHES off every single person!!! My sister has had enough , her and her boyfriend are slowly trying to get rid of him but he always manages to come over at least once a week. Now he recognises that they dont want him anymore, Ive noticed he is trying to attach himself to me and my boyfriend (we are all mutual friends though i wish we werent) I have noticed that the leech is shameless and yes, makes himself look pathetic for his leeching agenda. Example, today my boyfriend is coming to pick me up after work. The leech has tried to call me all yesterday and the day before and today so i thought i should answer it. He wanted to do something because he is 'bored'. This is not my problem. I said bf was coming to pick me up so hes called bf to see if he can come 4 a ride to pick me up!! AND MY BF AGREED! i am beyond frustrated. The leech has won again. and my bf is dropping him off back home when he gets me so WHATS THE POINT ?! He also suggested to me today that me, bf n him should all move in together. He said it half jokingly but i no he was just testing the waters. I told my bf that i would break up with him if he moved in with him. He's emotionally and mentally draining and I feel sad coz i feel there is a grown up child that self-imposes himself on our lives with no shame that for some reason is attaching himself to us couples and we feel like we are involuntary parents. Ive tried to explain to my bf what hes trying to do but hes narrow minded and cant see hidden agendas an stuff n thinks im just being mean. What can i do?! Please help!

For a long time I seemed to attract many leeches (or energy vamps, as I call them) to me. Then I finally knew why: I was one too. Takes one to attract one. Leeches of the same oral suckers flock together. There are more than one type of energy vamps or emotional leeches. They really do come in many guises.

I sincerely think that the main reason I was hired was to share this office with her (with one cubicle divider) so that I could be the constant, captive audience to her continuous complaining and negativity. Sometimes, I feel like nasty, living black goop (like in Spiderman 3) is growing all over me and I can feel the negativity taking me over like a bad rash. I am not quite sure how to deal with it. I try to appear very busy when she wants to "chat" but it doesn't work. She will plop down in the chair next to my desk and start complaining about every aspect of our job, the weather, her drapes at home, or anything else she can think of. I am normally an upbeat, positive person and after 6 months on the job, she is beginning to drag me down considerably and even affect my personal life. Any advice for me on how to deal with her?
