This 22-year-old woman is currently in a long-term relationship with her boyfriend, who is 23.

And when he recently wanted to quit his job, she supported his decision. No, it isn’t the best time to be unemployed with everything going on in the market.

“But him being mentally healthy mattered more,” she said.

So, he quit his job, and she told him to take a week off to relax before returning to work. However, that week has come and gone, and she has since tried to casually discuss his plans for work.

Every time she brings up his lack of employment, though, her boyfriend just dismisses her and claims that he doesn’t want to talk about it.

Just yesterday, she was also forced to use some of her rent money to purchase groceries. That’s why, when they were both home, she tried to bring up his work plans again.

More specifically, her boyfriend apparently mentioned at least three different positions he would be interested in. So, she asked if he could apply to at least three jobs the following day while she was at work.

Well, that wound up making her boyfriend go silent, and he didn’t respond. She also decided to apologize if her request came off as bossy, but her boyfriend dug into her for trying to start a fight.

Anyway, this has since turned into a big argument, and she refuses to admit that she caused it. Instead, she thinks it was her boyfriend’s angry reaction at fault.

She also ultimately told her boyfriend that she was just asking him to act like an adult and get a job.

“So when he moves in this month, I’m not the only income,” she reasoned.

Still, her boyfriend didn’t get it and claimed it was a “good thing” he hadn’t moved in yet. He also thought they needed to reconsider getting married since she didn’t think he acted like an adult.

Then, that night, she went to bed alone; meanwhile, her boyfriend played video games all night and refused to go to sleep until she left for work at 9:00 a.m.

“I don’t like it when we fight like this, and he is a good partner,” she vented.

“Just right now, I feel like I’m the only one taking it seriously.”

Still, with her boyfriend so upset with her, she’s now wondering if asking him to apply for three jobs really did make her a jerk or not.

Can you understand why she was worried about her boyfriend’s lack of employment if he’s set to move in this month? Did she have a right to ask about his work plans or not? What would you do if you were in her shoes?
