I don’t think I should become “wifely” now.
“Joe” and I dated for a while many years ago, and the relationship morphed into a deep and loving platonic friendship. We’re both in our late-60s and not interested in finding other partners. We have never shared finances or lived together, but a few years ago we got married so he could be on my employer-provided insurance.
Joe was laid off months ago, and unemployment payments have run out, so his only income is Social Security. He has been diligently looking for a job, but prospects aren’t good for someone his age in his field. Consequently, I am helping to support him, which is a financial hit for me. I send him money every month, with no strings attached, and I know he is deeply grateful. The issue for me is that he is NOT good with money.
You’re close enough that I assume you’re also aware of and have relationships with some of the other people in Joe’s life, and supporting someone who’s depressed and struggling shouldn’t fall to you alone. A lot of people don’t like to ask for help but there’s nothing to stop people around Joe from offering support, and emotional support is just as important in this situation as financial support.
