Justus, I am a 26-year-old female, living with my boyfriend (also 26). Since we started dating he has quit 2 well-paying jobs without anything to fall back on because the jobs made him miserable. When I suggest working at a restaurant or store or contacting a temp agency just to make some money, he is not open to it. I am extremely concerned for him (and us), not only in the short term, but wondering if this is a pattern that will repeat itself in the long term. He never seems fully satisfied with his work and his self-esteem and confidence are very low. We love each other and I want to help him. But I don't know how, because nothing I say seems to help. I don't know if it will ever get better. Should I throw in the towel?

Hello Stacy,
It's your choice to throw in the towel or not but he is revealing some real bad habits. And yes bad habits now, will lead to bad habits later. People like him that always find fault in everything and everyone else need to look into the mirror because usually the fault is within themselves. At least you are intelligent enough to see the signs. It's extremely hard to help someone who is not willing to help themselves. Be honest with him because this is a possible life partner, if he's not willing to live up to your standards, in this case why settle for less? Just asking him to work is not too much.
