[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only know one person who's been *fired* from more than one job.  She's an absolute shitshow of a person, cannot tolerate even an iota of authority, has no skills/education/training but somehow believes herself to be entitled to the life of a Kardashian, takes a kind of perverse pride in being unemployable because she's "too real."

Getting fired from one job could be bad luck.  Getting fired from multiple jobs, or having that be the routine way your jobs end?  Hell no.  DTMFA.[/quote]

OP here. He has many good qualities, like kindness and emotional intelligence and reliability in other matters in life but.... this is an extremely strong pattern. I think he has lost most of his jobs by being fired. He could not answer when I asked how many. [b]He feels they are a dime a dozen so he can just find another one quickly. [/b]He has a good education, but limited skills in anything other than the field he's currently in.[/quote]

So we're still missing why he's getting fired though. The bolded makes it seem like maybe he has no ability (or desire) to hold his tongue in situations which others would see as necessary to do so to remain professional. Like he thinks he knows more or is better than his employer. Obviously he can GET a job, so he's not a total idiot, but being fired multiple times is insane. In terms of your relationship, this would be more of a deal breaker in my eyes in the sense that he has little to no self-awareness and tends to shirk responsibility for things that are obviously within his control. That's a massive problem if you want an equal partner and a healthy relationship in which you can each own your mistakes and compromise. [/quote]
