I have been in this sub for a while. I currently work an office job. I completely agree with all the dumb shit that is required from work and am in no means pro-work. But I have to in order to pay the bills. I could never just be unemployed by choice.
Now, my SO is another story. He has the most absolutely worst work ethic. Long story short, he’s sat on his computer for the last two years and wasted his days getting high and playing video games while I pay all my bills and for his as well. He has mental health issues and I understand. But it’s gotten to the point where I cannot my financially support both of us. I’m drowning in debt and can’t cover everything on my own anymore. He’s recently went back to a food service job (he has no college education or trade school training) and it’s been nearly 2 weeks and he’s already tired of it. working makes him feel unimportant and like a number. It makes him lose his identity. Which I get. But things cost money. Rent cost money. Why do I have to pay for everything and have nothing left over. How is that okay for him to put it all on me? I just can’t comprehend the refusal to work at any job where you’re not the CEO. He doesn’t want to do anything. But he also doesn’t think you need a college degree (I don’t either) but unfortunately that’s the way of the world. He wants to do food delivery again but that was supposed to be happening this whole time and it WASNT working. Not enough money in the area he will do it in, but he refuses to go anywhere else to get more orders, and he gets bored after an hour and gives up. I understand hating work, but why is it when he can no longer sleep 12 hours a day and spend the rest of it getting high and playing video games, his life fucking sucks? That’s not a way to live.
I just need advice. I don’t want him to feel burned out but I cannot afford to pay for everything. I just cant.
