You ask if you are being played????? ....yes; but ONLY because you are allowing yourself to be.
Are you continuing contact with this person out of desperation? Is your self-confidence so low you are willing to accept such disrespect? What does this guy need; a GREEN CARD, perhaps????
Good Lord!! You don't need this dude in your life. Hell no! What you need is a good mental health provider. Someone to help you understand why you persue such potentially devastating relationships. You need to get therapy to learn to love yourself before you are able to seek love with another. This is crazy!! The red flags are blazing!! This guy definitely wants and needs something from you, but it has NOTHING to do with love or even sex for that matter, and I'll betcha his "girlfriend / sister / pimp " is in on it. Oh, and the non-English speaking brother??? WTF?? Honey, you know this isn't right....YOU KNOW IT! Follow your instincts and leave your heart and libido out of it!

It's the easy way to a very pathetic form of satisfaction. Relationships, children, employment, house and car payments, extended family.....all of these things eventually become secondary to an addict. All those things require effort and responsiblity. Drugs don't. You get them, do them, you're high....pretty easy. No problems, no stress, no worries.....They get to avoid the technicalities of life. They get to walk away from life. Drugs are the choice they make when they don't have the stamina to make it in a normal and everyday society.

Jace, I wouldn't miss your jello pants party for anything, my friend!

Now see, Jace...that's where our opinions differ; I prefer the nights you are NOT wearing pants on JSH.....

I've never seen one so BIG, before!

Oh, yeah...it was definitely good for me, too!

I may be bi, but I prefer men......

C'mon Spring!

What happened to the monitoring system, G-dawg?

Monitors?? Anyone.....anyone?? We could really use a monitor about now....

Library, your aunt is Tom Fogerty's widow? Really?? I love CCR...my fave group!

epowell, be safe and bring it ALL! You never know here. One day may be 60 degrees, the next -3. Be prepared as a Boy Scout!

Hurry back, Jess!

Just sounds a little ignorant to me.....wait, wait.......uh, false alarm; thought I was gonna laugh, but it was just indigestion.....

Last time a guy jumped on me, my back went out...

A very dear friend of mine turned out to be one of my ex-husbands mistresses.......I wouldn't do that to anybody.....

Was she ever a star of the Debate team?
