So this is kind of a vent / question / opinion thing so have at it .. Me and my bf have been together for 2 yrs. We're in school together taking the same classes to be RN's (registered nurse). In the beginning of our relationship, he had a job. Never spent money on me but I don't care too much about that. It was nice that he had a job though cause the rare times he did contribute it was nice =]. Fast fwd to now, he got fired from his job (he'll be 23 in Nov and I am 22) back in Feb. His mom said it was ok because this whole time she's been trying to convince him that "he doesn't need a job" so he can "focus on school" and blah blah blah. I have a job, part time 5 days wk/20 hrs. Not much but it's something and it's light enought that it doesn't interefere with school. So my thing is I don't make alot of money. I barely make enough but I always manage to buy us food, him clothes sometimes, and whatever else (nothing huge just things here and there). It would be nice if he had a job too, just so I wouldn't be the only one bringing in money. I told my bf, i'll spend money all day and I don't care about spending money on him cause if I did then I wouldn't, ya know? Then he tells me "well whatever then i'll eat my own food. you keep your money and i'll keep mine (ironic cause he doesn't have a job, but I digress). i don't want you spending your money on me anymore etc". What do you think he meant by that? I think he's just pissed because I think he should get a job. He could have a job right now but he doesn't want it (he could go work w my brother). My thing is, he's 23 and yeah he's focusing on school but shouldn't he WANT to support himself. Wouldn't he WANT to only have to depend on himself and not his parents anymore? Or am I missing the boat here. I'm not asking anything of him, just saying it would be nice if we both had a little something! Is that too much to ask? I don't wanna sound like a gold digger but come on now. We live with my mom so we don't pay rent. He doesn't pay for his car stuff .. so what gives. Is everything just too set for him and he's comfertable? I mean he says he wants to wait till we graduate to get a job but come on dude who knows when that will be! Plus do you really wanna wait that long?! Lol. Anyways, what are your thoughts on this? Let me know .. - Asked by Female, 22-25 |
