When he does work, he doesn’t care what kind of a job he has, so he ends up quitting because he hates it on a long enough timeline.
Additionally, her boyfriend hardly makes an effort and won’t show up on time, which contributes to employers firing him. She’s financially and emotionally at the end of her rope here.
She’s been living with her boyfriend for the last two years and they were supposed to evenly split the bills, but that didn’t last long at all as her boyfriend has no money.
“He has been giving me a flat $500 for rent, utilities, etc., and I have been covering the rest,” she said.
“We live in an expensive area, and $500 is, unfortunately, not a large chunk of our expenses at all. It is less than a third. I am growing so resentful of this every day…it’s not fair. I don’t want to be supporting a grown man.”
“Sometimes I feel like he thinks I’m made of money; he makes comments here and there about how much I make and how I don’t have to worry about money. I make good money, as I said earlier, but I still make a very normal middle-class income. The way he talks, sometimes you would think I’m a millionaire.”
Her boyfriend knows she’s over his job issues, and he admitted to her recently that he’s down to $300 left to his name.
This obviously isn’t enough to help cover his costs of living and this month; it’s going to be on her to come up with the money for both of their expenses.
She’s so upset and she’s out of patience or sympathy. While she is in love with her boyfriend and some parts of their relationship are excellent, she’s too stressed out about him being unemployed.
They constantly fight about money, and her boyfriend simply makes empty promises to do better and change.
“If he could get it together with his job, everything would be perfect,” she continued. “But I am losing hope that will ever happen.”
