My SO hasn’t worked for a year now (most likely to “take a stand” against unfair wages, workplace environments, etc.) which is understandable given the current situation in the US, but I’m getting so fed up with being the only one working and having to pay for everything while he just sits and does nothing to help us get by financially or help prepare for the future.

I always made a point to be beyond kind, be approachable, and go out of my way to help others with their load when I could without complaint! This was all for nothing though because there was no real effort to get to know me beyond shallow smiles and small talk. Over time this drove me crazy because seeing everyone else so buddy buddy with each other while I watched from the sidelines fucking sucked. Anyway, me and a fellow co-worker have been excited about our last day and it had been announced multiple times that the date was coming up soon. Friday finally comes and our…
