Someone please help me understand why I feel this way with my boyfriend. I need advice?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend and I both earn income over the summer by Ubering and our goal is always $200 a day. Well, lately my boyfriend is making money everyday playing black jack online and basically winning easy money and lots of it. Every time he plays he’s been winning about $600-$1000. So he hasn’t been Ubering anymore. He gets to sit home while I go out and have to make money. Why am I jealous of this though? Is it because I feel like he should want to share with me? I don’t feel like he HAS to do that though. It’s his winnings, but for some reason I’ve been feeling like a peasant lately having to Uber while he’s just collecting easy money online playing games. We live together and split all the bills 50/50. When we go out on a date, he always expects me to pay half as well and I do. But it’s beginning to bug me for some reason. I can’t put my finger on why though. I am jealous that he’s getting easy money while I still have to go out and work for it and spend hours of my day trying to earn all the money he’s been easily winning that takes him all of maybe two hours. I feel myself starting to resent him for still making me go in half with him on certain things that I had to bust my butt for being a delivery girl while he’s just sitting back getting easy money.

I was always told to never date a man that’s comfortable watching you struggle. Now I’m not saying I am struggling or anything, but here I am spending hours of my day trying to make a measly $100 while he’s clicking buttons on slots earning it NO TIME. And this has been going on for about a month now. It just almost doesn’t seem fair to me.

And the maximum amount of money he takes out is $100 and that’s IT. That’s all he plays with and earns big bucks from it every day.

You resent him because you want him to suffer like you.

[Asker]

Or maybe I feel like he shouldn’t want me to suffer

[Asker]

When he’s getting money basically handed to him

[Opinion Owner]

Lol no. Pretty sure you want him to suffer with you. You resent that he is doing better than you. If you were both doing the same work it probably wouldn’t upset you so much. You’re just jealous and angry that he can do something easy to make money and you can’t. If you want to join in, start an OnlyFans account and shake your ass for the camera. You’ll make heaps on money and all you have to do is show some skin. 🤷‍♂️

It’s fair because he is gambling and he will lose. You are working and over time you will make more money.

[Asker]

The thing is he hasn’t lost. And all he takes out to gamble with it at the most is $100

[BarryLiverstone]

I said over time. He eventually will lose. Just keep working and you will be ok

[Asker]

That’s not the point though. The point is he hasn’t been losing. He takes out a $100 is earns back a huge profit from it yet here he is making the amount of money I earn in a week but in a DAY

[BarryLiverstone]

It’s not a competition. You earn enough for what you need. Let him do it his way

[Asker]

I never said it’s a competition. I’m wondering why it bothers me so much.

[Asker]

I feel like he shouldn’t want me to have go out and bust my butt while he gets to make easy money with the tap of a button.

[Asker]

I guess I just want to be treated like a queen and maybe I feel like a peasant.

[BarryLiverstone]

Then it’s up to you to do some reflecting and understand your feelings. If he is being respectful and meeting your needs then this is a you challenge

[Celticwolf78]

Well he should not let u keep doing that and help u to make money like he does if it was me I'd tell u to stay home
