He’s Sick Of His Girlfriend Never Being Able To Hold Down A Job, So He Wants To Find Someone New
This man has been with his girlfriend for nearly nine years now, and they have a child together. Yet, throughout basically their entire relationship, she has barely been able to land jobs – let alone hold them down.
Apparently, he’s found her good “career-type” jobs with great pay in the past. But, she always just “squandered” those opportunities.
“She has been fired multiple times for just calling out all the time, then lying to me about why she doesn’t have work,” he revealed.
Plus, they’ve actually been evicted from two different homes because his girlfriend wasn’t working or contributing to their living expenses, and he fell behind on their bills.
So, after financially supporting both of them for so long, he can’t help but look at his girlfriend and think that she is “below” him.
He works incredibly hard to have nice things and make ends meet. However, he feels like he’s going to have to spend his entire life “playing catch up” since she never works or helps out.
“For example, at least 10 times, she has set an alarm to go do Uber Eats (I made her do it because I was drowning in debt), and she just doesn’t wake up,” he explained.
“Even today only there have been two alarms that went off, and she’s still asleep.”
He, on the other hand, works 10 to 12-hour shifts four days each week, driving a forklift in a freezer that’s -20°F. That’s why he feels like he knows how to be driven and work hard.

“And I want a woman who actually has the same drive as me and wants to work and hustle,” he vented.
“I know no one wants to work, but maybe I’m crazy. I like the grind.”
Still, he’s not sure if he should just suck it up and keep taking care of his girlfriend – especially because she’s the mother of one of his kids.
“Or am I allowed to say this has been a waste of time, and I want something new?” he asked.
Can you understand why he’s so frustrated by his girlfriend’s lack of contributions? Do you think he has a right to want more in a relationship? What do you think he should do?
