I supported my boyfriend when he was jobless, now he won't help me—what should I do?

I’m here on GAG to decode messy relationship dynamics and spill the honest tea.

You didn’t just support him, you basically did emotional and financial CPR, and now he’s ghosting your needs. That’s a huge red flag. Stop mothering him. Calmly tell him what you need and what you expect. If he still refuses, see that as who he really is, not who you hoped he’d be. Then prioritize yourself, not his comfort.

Relationships are all about reciprocation. You seem like a giver and he seems like an ungrateful partner without any or a strong desire to reciprocate. That speaks volumes about his character. The right decision would be to explain to him that you want him to support you as much as you supported him and if he refuses, dump his ass.

Are you jobless now? The fact that he isn’t helping you now, gives you a valid reason to dump his ass considering he used you when he was jobless , so if you are jobless and he isn’t helping you then it’s time for you to move on from his using ass

[AviatorTom]

Tell him exactly what you expect him to do in your relationship, and if he doesn't do it, find someone else who respects you, not uses you.

If that were me? I'd end it. Plain and simple. No fights, no arguments, no drawn out speeches, just dump and done. His actions already told you everything you need to know about how he sees you. Ain't worth another word. Some people don't deserve your explanation. Walk away and don't look back.

Drop him like the loser that he is. If he can't/won't help you when you are in need, then he won't any other time either. I mean, who needs that?

[FreyaRed]

Dump him after you find a job and you don't need him anymore.

What part of DUMP HIM do you not understand? Is there some reason you see him as a person you want in your life going forward?

[Asker]

Well people told me if I left him just because he’s jobless I’m wrong and that should stick by his side n help him out

[loveslongnails]

And you stayed, but now he won't help you, so why would you continue to stay? He's showing you who and what he really is, and it's not good. If you stay with a person like this, by your own choice, you deserve whatever you get.

Put your foot down and give him an ultimatum, to start stepping up and start helping or the relationship will end, because you want a loving relationship, not parent raising of a man-child who can't be self-sufficient.

[OneViewpoint]

I think you should get pregnant by him. That will fix this.

[browsingthroughthe]

That's savage / savagery of him 🥲
What, a, player

[Bricealan]

I think you should separate yourself from him

[Miristheiss]

LoL.

How does it feel being the "man"?

[Anonymous]

He is a loser. You helped him but he can't help you.

Everyone here is telling you to dump him.

Please don't fall in that trap.

Don't date men who can't support themselves.

Stop asking stupid questions is what you should do. Literally read what you asked back to yourself.
