This 27-year-old guy and his Girlfriend, who is 25, have been dating for two years, and they also now live together.

But, while he’s been working throughout their relationship, his girlfriend actually quit her job about three months ago. Apparently, she just thought her coworkers were too “toxic.”

“Thankfully, I make enough to keep the lights on, but it’s been hard with her not working,” he explained.

“It’s hard to buy food and other needs when I’m throwing my entire paycheck at bills.”

That’s why, since she quit, he’s tried broaching the topic of his girlfriend looking for a new job on multiple occasions. But, every single time, she just claims that there are no “good jobs” hiring right now.

Hearing that response has become super frustrating for him, too, especially because he’s currently working overtime to support them both.

So, more recently, he tried to have a more stern conversation – flat-out telling his girlfriend that she needed to find a new job.

“Because I can’t keep working overtime just because she isn’t working. It’s hard to support her and myself like this,” he reasoned.

Well, this just prompted a back-and-forth argument, and his girlfriend actually had the nerve to suggest that he just get a second job!

She claimed that dealing with toxic coworkers was just too mentally draining for her and that she didn’t want to find herself in that same situation again.

Then, his girlfriend even admitted that she just wanted to be a “stay-at-home girlfriend.”

“I told her she is insane for saying that,” he recalled.

Plus, he finally put his foot down and told his girlfriend that if she didn’t find a new job, he would be ending their relationship.

This caused her to totally freak out on him, too. His girlfriend even said that men are the ones who should have to “take care” of their partners.

So, ever since the argument, his girlfriend has been furious at him, and they haven’t been speaking very much.

And now, he can’t help but wonder if threatening to break up with her if she didn’t find a job was really too harsh or not.

Do you think men should be solely responsible for caring for their partners? Or is it ridiculous that his girlfriend expected to be a stay-at-home girlfriend? How would you have reacted in his shoes?
