My relationship is deteriorating because of all these horrible jobs.

EDIT: mispelled words I (19nb) moved out of state with my (19m) boyfriend. He has applied to Buc-ees, and has been incredibly stressed because the work environment is so awful. If he's a few minutes late (and often is due to the nearby roads constantly being worked on, even though he leaves earlier than he should), a manager talks to him about how it could get him fired, even if the roads are being worked on and a majority of people are late because of it. If anyone is standing around for more than 3 seconds, and I mean that literally, they get threatened to be fired, laid off, all that. Phones are absolutely not allowed. Break is 20 minutes long and you can't leave the store. You can't take any food from the store outside of it, even if it's yours. They did not pay him in time the…

I (19nb) moved out of state with my (19m) boyfriend. He has applied to Buc-ees, and has been incredibly stressed because the work environment is so awful. If he's a few minutes late (and often is due to the nearby roads constantly being worked on, even though he leaves earlier than he should), a manager talks to him about how it could get him fired, even if the roads are being worked on and a majority of people are late because of it.

If anyone is standing around for more than 3 seconds, and I mean that literally, they get threatened to be fired, laid off, all that. Phones are absolutely not allowed. Break is 20 minutes long and you can't leave the store. You can't take any food from the store outside of it, even if it's yours. They did not pay him in time the first paycheck, promised they'd fix it, and they did after a week.

Before this, my partner worked at a car wash at a nearby airport. They have yet to pay him his last paycheck, around $900, and that should have been months ago. We've stopped trying to get his money back. We reported them, nothing has been heard, that was over two weeks ago. This job often did not pay him on time either.

My partner comes home around 10:30 at night, stressed and unhappy and he rants and sometimes raises his voice when talking about how horrible working there is. I get very scared when people raise their voice and he knows this but he can't help it, and I don't blame him. It's just scary and sad to see him this way. He's just so upset all the time, it affects him so much.

And since he's started these jobs he's told me that he's not interested in having sex, before this sex was a normal occurrence of at least 4 times a week. I try to be very supportive and understanding but for months he has told me that he's not in the mood multiple times. It's not like I pressure him, but he doesn't tell me loving things often, it's like he's too stressed to have a romantic partner. It makes me feel really lonely and unattractive.

Now he's looking for another job but I'm worried that we won't be able to wait on another job to pay him a delayed payment. It's happening over and over again, and with my job, I get paid in bulk but after a long period of time, and I can only keep us floating for so long until I can get paid again, it's a whole process).

What the hell do I do? I moved states for a better job but everything just gets worse and worse, I can't afford to be the only one getting paid, especially at the rate I get paid. We've lived here for around 4-5 months and my partner is so unhappy all of the time.. and I don't think he's attracted to me at all anymore.

We're both so unhappy.
