She Barred Her Boyfriend From Visiting Her At Work Because He Keeps Calling Her Waitressing Job “Silly,” Trying To Get Her To Quit So He Can Take Care Of Her, And Causing Scenes At The Restaurant
This 24-year-old woman currently works as a part-time waitress, and she really enjoys her job.
But, her 32-year-old boyfriend earns enough money to support her so she wouldn’t “have to” work anymore. That’s why he is constantly telling her to quit and claiming that he wants to “take care” of her.
“I understand where he’s coming from, but I also like making my own money,” she said.
Regardless, her boyfriend keeps calling her job “silly” and telling her that she could be spending her time doing something “more useful.”
Plus, he frequently visits her restaurant while she’s working, and she finds it both disruptive and embarrassing. Whenever he’s there, he often wants her to give him attention – even if she’s busy tending to other customers.
Not to mention, he sometimes accuses her of flirting with customers, even if she is just being friendly. Or he gets upset when customers start to flirt with her.
Now, whenever this happens, her boyfriend will typically wait until she gets home to give her a “lecture.”
“But the other day, he raised his voice at me at work,” she revealed.
“My boss asked if I was okay and said if he does that again, she’s not going to let him come in. It puts me in an awkward position, and I find myself apologizing to her and him.”

She’s had enough of her boyfriend’s behavior, too, which is why, after he raised his voice, she finally brought it up. However, rather than understanding where she was coming from, her boyfriend just became really angry and claimed that her boss wasn’t in charge of him.
Still, she pointed out how her boss is in charge of her whenever she’s working – hence why she doesn’t want any drama.
Well, this just caused her boyfriend to start trying to convince her to quit again.
She was sick of it, too, and realized how frustrating this issue had become in their relationship. So, she finally told her boyfriend that she didn’t want him showing up at her job anymore.
Unfortunately, her boyfriend just flipped out on her after that, and they wound up getting into a massive argument.
“He said he’s just trying to take care of me, and I feel bad,” she vented.
Yet, on the other hand, she really just isn’t comfortable with him visiting her while she’s working anymore.
Still, with so much tension in her relationship over her waitressing job now, she’s been left wondering if barring her boyfriend from the restaurant is really the wrong thing to do.
Can you understand why she doesn’t want to quit her job? Is it a good idea for her to be financially dependent on her boyfriend anyway? Is her boyfriend’s behavior a red flag? Does she have a right to not want him visiting her job?
