But before I go, Knight in Shining Armour Complex: you are attracted to the idea of rescuing the girl not the girl herself. Doing all this stuff for this down and out girl fulfills some need in you. It might make you feel noble, moral, a "good person" especially if you feel like you are knocking back other offers.
"What a good guy I am" is a theme you have articulated in varying forms in post after post in this thread.
Also you seem to enjoy the drama and the constant analysis otherwise you wouldn't expend thousands of words on the topic.
Anyway the point is you must be getting something out of this arrangement otherwise you wouldn't persist with it.
For example, I am sure my mate subconciously seeks out lame ducks because trying to rescue them makes him feel like a good person and in his mind makes him feel like he's making up for other areas in his life where he might not be acting so nobly. I also think he likes the drama of dating these headcases. Anway that's him, I'm not saying your complex has the same root causes (if you have it).
