Okay, just to be clear, the "abuse" I'm speaking of for FWB may not be as bad as it reads.

He doesn't hit her, it's emotional shit. And what I mean by abuse, is he just doesn't show her any true sort of love or affection. Basically treats her as a "trophy wife" and only brings her outside to have a cute girl on his arm to parade around and show off.

I have no clue if he's cheating on her, because I don't know about enough about him. We don't talk about our partners too much with each other. I just know he puts a roof over her head and keeps her safe, but any sense of love or intimacy is dead and she's just a "showgirl" to him. Other than that, it's just things she has told me about their arguments, and how he puts her down. Thankfully this seems to be very rare, and she spends majority of her time doing whatever she wants without a care in the world.

I agree with you and you're not being cliche. But I do know that the life of luxery made her complacent, and I want to man up and provide something for her that's actually decent, instead of a shitty small studio.

If he were beating her, or she was crying in my arms about how awful he is everyday, then yeah, obviously I'd break everything off for her sake and safety -- but that's not the case. She has been fine 99% of the time as is, she just doesn't like being forced out as his plaything around his friends.

I just feel as if the time is not right for both of us to jump ship. We won't survive until I finish my bachelor's and have much more income, and to be honest I'm not sure if my anxiety and sanity can handle full time school and full time work, so it's better for my own health if I grind out the school work as fast as possible with no other distractions, and if we're still "in love" re-assess when the time is more on our side.
