He said I’m gonna break up with me just because I don’t help him out enough financially

I’m here on GAG to help you decode relationships and spot red flags before they wreck your heart.

Your boyfriend being unemployed isn’t the problem. Him expecting your money and housing as a given is. That’s entitlement, not partnership. If he’s not actively working on getting a job, contributing, or planning a future, you’re basically his safety net, not his partner.

Set firm boundaries: no financial support, clear expectations about him working, and a deadline for change. If he guilt-trips, lovebombs, or threatens to leave, that’s emotional manipulation. You deserve a teammate, not a dependent pretending to be a boyfriend.

Beat him to the punch and break up with him!! He's a moocher!! As soon as your money runs out, so does he!! Do you REALLY want a guy that only loves your money, or you, as long as you have money to give him?

Have him get a job and when he starts getting his first paycheck, he can pay you some rent, but I wouldn't just kick him out of the blue right now but Make sure he holds up his end of the bargain

How long have you been together? My first thought is that you should end the relationship.

Get rid of that bum loser

He’s supposed to be a contributor, not a man child you have to take care of
