No commitment, no guarantee that each of you would commit to paying said bills. She doesn't want to work out of pure fear, don't expect her to work. I am also in the not popular opinion. I don't think a man should rely on a woman to get the bills paid [/quote] The cost of living is not proportional with income. During my college years I had to live with others in order to have a roof; we shared a 3 bedroom apartment between 6 people at one time. We barely made it. My wife and I moved out of that apartment as boyfriend and girlfriend and were married a couple of years later after I found a job and started pushing to get promotions. She had our daughter, and now we have a home. Don't decry people when you don't know the environment from which they are coming. Makes you look like an ASShole. [/quote] Does your wife still work? [/quote] Ever had a wife with a job, or a wife at all? [/quote] I am the wife. I worked up until I had children. I worked when I was single. What's your point? I never had a dude that relied on my paycheck to get bills paid. They either did side jobs or worked overtime or sold shit they had around. That's all I'm saying. :1dunno1: [/quote] Thank you. Amen. Because these men sure dont want a blah and unpainted toes girlfriend but then want security too. [/quote]

She has the opportunity to work, but she refuses to. This is a decision that may ultimately lead to our financial demise. I'm afraid I'm going to lose the house our cars.
I've attempted to speak with her about this on a few occasions, she instantly breaks out crying and it makes a rational conversation impossible. She claims she doesn't want to spread covid to people and be the reason a person dies.
How should I react to this? Am I being unsympathetic? Honestly I have no idea what to do right now. I've got less than $1k in the bank. Losing her contribution will destroy us.
