Found out my boyfriend is a member of the r/antiwork community

I'm in my late 20s and during a typical week I probably work ~60 hours in my corporate job – it's a high-pressure environment but I enjoy what I do and take pride in various promotions and work achievements that I have been able to accomplish over time. My boyfriend is in his early 30s and has a JD. He was initially working as a lawyer before moving to a part-time schedule due to a serious surgery which required several months of recovery. Due to his pride, he never went on disability and supported himself mainly through income from sports betting (I know, that's a whole separate discussion…) and from his parents. It's been now a little over the year since the surgery and he refuses to return to full-time employment. I expressed to him (multiple times) that I want to start a family soon, that I want to become…

Not so good interview.

I interviewed with a company that likely would be higher pay and a better skill builder. I don’t think they would offer it to me, but if they did, I wouldn’t take it. It was a small business and the owner asked if I would work overtime to handle projects getting behind schedule. I said yes but would prefer not to. Maybe not the best response in an interview, but his snarky response was, “I prefer not to get behind.” At that point I just wanted to be done with the interview. I was reminded of a terrible job I used to work (also a small business) where I was screamed at frequently when schedule slipped, and I was really depressed the whole time I worked there. The owner was also adamant that the fast pace is usually too much for people and they wanted to make sure I understood…

Always be looking for another job.

Every time I worked a low wage job, it was because I needed to find something fast, so I didn’t have time to wait for or search for a better opportunity. Every time I finally left a terrible job, I found a new one with either better working conditions, a better paying wage, or both. Am I wrong to think that it’s a very good idea to just always keep my resume out there, and casually search the job market for better opportunities? I feel like that would benefit wages in general if companies knew their employees could leave at any moment…
