I’ve been dating this guy for almost five months now. We met at work and I really do like him. we come from two different backgrounds. I come from money and I’ve always been spoiled and education runs in my family. I have a lot going for myself. I’m beautiful and in university and I always thought I would be with or marry someone exactly like me. He comes from a lower class family and his mom dropped out of high school and works at a clothing store now and his dad is in construction. He has four other siblings and his brother is unemployed and he’s older and they all still live with the family. My boyfriend has to pay half his rent and his sisters phone bill so I try to be supportive. He’s 20 and works at a maintenance job and their apartment building so I try to support his hustle. However everyday he always talks about quitting because they don’t appreciate his work. I told him he needs to work and he said he would work at another grocery store that pays more. He was doing online classes but dropped out because it was too “hard”. While I was in school last semester we went long distance for two months and he would always say some guys would’ve left and he stuck around anyways. We both want to go into real estate and he said he wants to do classes in the fall so I’m trying to wait until then too. Also he wants to buy a car in the next couple of months. My dad and sister were telling me today how my dad was in that same situation at his age but got out of it and was ambitious. My boyfriends parents hold him back and don’t want him to get a car because of the expenses. He just got a 5000 advance at his job because they have new management. I do believe in him but he really dosen’t have a lot going for him right now. I’m a college student working two jobs and I have a plan but now where I wanna be right now either. I don’t want to break up with him and want to support him but this is honestly unattractive to me. Am I making the right decision? I still love him.
Boyfriend with no ambition?
