Girlfriend wants to quit her job

I worry because her mom never worked. Even after her kids were in school and older, she never held a job. Multiple times her dad went through layoffs and she never got a job. Her mom is incredibly lazy ( her dad’s words) and I don’t want that for my life.


PT is a very physical job for anyone. Have you ever seen a PT who was over 50? There is a reason.

You should support her emotionally, if not financially. Telling her to suck it up is not kind

How does he he do one, but not the other? She will have no job. She will not be contributing to rent, groceries, utilities, etc. How can he not support her financially in this scenario?

I would have ended the relationship if she didn’t. I’m all for being a supportive partner and helping her bridge the gap to her next job, but I’m not interested in taking care of someone who has no plan and doesn’t know when they will go back to work. I want an equal partner, not a dependent. I will get over this relationship and move on.


You are a completely @SS.

A good man would marry her and support her getting her education.

If genders were reversed, zero people here would be telling a woman to financially support a SAH boyfriend.

Why does a woman need a man to do this for her?

Some of these people are either trolls, or bums themselves.

Every good man doesn't want to become rest for someone else's debt.

In Utah, it is considered noble to devote your life to focus on traditional home, husband, kids and religion.

So glad I don't live in Utah. Not that this is relevant to the OP at all, since they are not going to have a traditional home or children and no mention of religion.

It's not right or wrong. It's whether you want to have a partner who lives off you and appears shiftless, wanting to be rewarded by a universal timeout for being an adult. And whether she thinks she is hot/smart/funny/charming enough to find someone else who will actually think it's a great deal to 'support' her.

I think you both need to take your chances with the rest of the universe out there- not each other.
