My bf hasn’t paid for anything in 4 months, barely works, and asks me for money. I’m worried he’s using me. I’ve tried talking, but he just says times are tough. What do I do?

If you're not going to leave just stop giving him money and see how he acts. Maybe then that might convince you

Tell him you aren’t going to pay for anything of his anymore, that he needs to apply for jobs. If he reacts with any hostility and or doesn’t do it. Leave his ass and change your locks

I’m broke too and I understand money struggles but that’s just straight up ridiculous.

I’m a guy, but he does not sound likes he’s trying at all. Which will probably be a recurring theme in your relationship and if he didn’t want to actually sit down and communicate about it, it’s time to move on. Hope this helps

don’t give him spending money unless he does the grocery shopping or whatever, and communicate to him that he needs to prove he is making attempts to get jobs if he wants to continue receiving your support

Does he do the dishes and the laundry? Because he’s a housewife rn

communicate that he needs to get a job, if he WONT (because EVERYONE able-bodied CAN) then he is in fact using you and that is reason enough to end the relationship. also to anyone (including your bf) who says it’s too hard to find a job, bullcrap cuz i literally used to work in a warehouse - there are plentyyyy of jobs you’re just only looking at stuff like food service and retail

Just stop supporting him financially. He’s gotta have that bandaid ripped off. Times are tough but you can’t afford to pay for everything of his all the time.

may be a controversial opinion, but it sounds like what you should do depends on whether he is (1) acting as a live-in housekeeper and doing all the tasks women traditionally would in a single-income household (cooking, cleaning, pet/childcare, home maintenance, grocery shopping, etc.) as part of a temporary agreement with your work being able to support you both for now or (2) just doing the bare minimum of half the domestic labor and half-assing looking for a job.

No I do all the chores because I only work part time but I’m also a student so I still do all the “traditional” work around the house while he “works” and I put that in quotations because he’s only works once or twice a week and it’s not even full time he works maybe 5 hours and he says it’s because they won’t schedule him anymore so idk
