[quote=Anonymous]I think your relationship is in it's first major hurdle and it could be what ends it.

I'm assuming based on everything you've written that up til now your girlfriend has been self-sufficient and paid for her bills and housing.  Why would you think at this point that she doesn't understand what it means to have no paycheck?

I've been laid off, it was a horrible experience and it's depressing.  Maybe instead of being concerned about the lack of job, you should be more focused on her well-being.  And no, that does not come across in your post.

You are concerned about the finances and you are concerned that you need to be a parent to her (?).  Are you sure you want to be in a relationship with her?  Is her not working a deal-breaker for you?  Now is a time for you to do some soul searching and find some answers.  Ask yourself, what would happen if you were married and she lost her job?  Or what if she became ill and could not work?  Would you want to take care of her or would she merely be a burden?
