OK I'm new here just want some advice on a little problem I ran into...

OK so I was with this girl for more than 2 years... I was 19 and she was 17 when we first met... so we get really deep into the relationship... love and all... she starts having trouble with some work at school... (high school)... I help her not a lot but here and there I do... so then she graduates and starts college. She finds it very difficult to write essays. Being in college these essays were anywhere from 5 to 7 pages long. I saw how it was difficult to I helped her and by this I mean I did all the essays for her. Not only that, she took art and wasn't very good at it and all the paintings she had to do I took care of them since I am good at drawing and painting. So for almost 2 years I continue to do this. Then recently she had 4 major essays to write 6 pages long. So I take care of them. Right after I am done, the next day to be exact, she breaks the news to me that she had being seeing someone else for quite some time and now loves him. I was shocked but not hurt for some reason. The only thing I feel is that I was used and robbed of my work. Work that took me hours upon hours to accomplish. Especially some of the paintings which took days to complete. What I want is my work, to get credit for it. Since I wrote it I have approximately 20 essays ranging from 4 pages to 7 pages long saved to my hard drive. When I did any of them I would print them out and handed them to her. She has no copys of any of them. I feel I have to get credit for all my work since it took a lot of my time. I don't care about her new found love or anything. I just think a lot of people get used and taken advantage of and they never do anything about it. She has admitted to messing up but doesn't want me to get credit for what's mine. All I want is for her to understand that she should be using people to get through life. Especially since she considers herself independent.

I don't know what to do. Should I just let it go. Hand all the work I did to her and forget it?. or should I pursue my want of getting credit for what's mine.

I know I misspelled and made grammatical errors, but this is not an essay =-p

What can you really do? Tell the professor? This was something you wanted to do and she turned it in. Let it go. They may notice the difference in writing now that you are not doing it. Move on.

I've been thinking about it and yes I think of letting it go... but I feel used and robbed... so much of my work... and I would like to get some of the paintings I did...
