Girlfriend wants to quit her job

[Anonymous]

My girlfriend and I share a home (mine) and we both work FT jobs. I make a decent amount more than her and she had been considering going back to school. I told her I supported her. She wanted to work PT, which I was on board with them, and then decided she wanted to quit to go to school to make things easier on her. I can afford it and was on board. She announced today that she is considering quitting school, but doesn’t want to go back to work right away. Her job is mentally and physically demanding and she needs to a break. I admittedly didn’t handle it well and told her to suck it up. People work jobs they hate everyday because nothing is free. She’s not upset with me and says that she can’t be a man who doesn’t support her. Who is in the wrong?

Girlfriend? Her.

She is hoping for free ride w you and counting on your attachment to her to achieve her goal. I’d dump her.

o she doesn't want to go to school. She doesn't want to work?

Make sure you don't get her pregnant, and send this little girl back home to her parents house, she's clearly not done growing up.

Both of you. She needs to contribute financially if she isn't in school. And you need to support her need for a break.

What?

Where are her parents? Why can't they support her? As far as you supporting her, only if you've been with her for more than three years, intend to marry her and only for an agreed upon period shorter than three months.

No. She’s an adult and needs to work. OP shouldn’t have to care for a freeloader. Most people don’t quit their jobs because very need a break. It sounds like she is expecting OP to take care of her.

She sounds like a leech.

Dump her before she baby traps you.

OP here. Her parents are retired and live in another state. We are both grown adults. She’s 30.

I did intend to marry her but this has made me question if she’s the right partner for me.

If she was my daughter/son, I would either loan them or advise to save enough so she can finance her break, instead of randomly quitting and depending on a person they aren't married to.

Don’t marry her unless you’re ready to marry her, have a baby and want her to be a SAHM. She’s looking for a sugar daddy, if that’s what you want then go for it. Nothing wrong with that. Otherwise run before she gets knocked up.

What's going on with her, she doesn't want to work, doesn't want to go back to school, doesn't want to stay with you if you don't agree. Is she depressed?

[Anonymous]

Have you been together for several year and she is worried about her biological clock? Is she into drinking or drugs or facing some illness?
