AITA for wanting my bf to get a job and take me out? He hadn’t had a job for a year due to a situation however it’s been months and he can have one now. I’ve paid for myself every single time and we can’t go on dates bc he doesn’t have money for himself.

Idc what the situation is, there is always a way to make dough. He should never have let himself not have a job for a full year especially if for the last few months he could have gotten one. I say leave his ass, he obviously is not a motivated person and you don’t want to go through life with someone like that

NTA- part of dating IS going on dates. If he’s now able to work and actively choosing not to the it’s bound to it impact your relationship. Whether that’s how you spend your time together/separately it shows a difference in values. It’s really hard and uncomfortable to talk about so I wish you luck🫶

nta, not only will him getting a job better your relationship , it’ll also help him better himself . maybe try to job search with him or slowly try to suggest it! good luck

hm. i guess now it’s up to you whether you wanna keep dealing with it…you can try to lead him towards help, but ultimately he has to be the one to take it. you can’t force him. it’s also not your obligation to help him, especially if it starts to take a toll on you…you deserve to be taken on dates :/ idk i would definitely be weighing my options if i were you.

You bring many valid points! I don’t think he will be motivated bc he’s comfortable rn. His parents pay his bills so all he has to do is show up to class☹️
