Anonymous Coward User ID: 78032133 Sweden 03/24/2020 06:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: SoberLife 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. Ever thought about that she actually lost her job but she's afraid to tell you? News flash, she lost her job. Retard OP |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69901219 What does your girlfriends finances have to do with your demise? You're not married. You made a poor choice if you're living together and sharing rent. YOU'RE ACTING LIKE A BOY. IT'S TIME TO GROW UP AND BE A MAN. STOP PLAYING HOUSE. ~ I'm Judge Judy bitch and I approve this message. You are living in sin if you 2 aren’t married. So Don’t expect God to bless that union anyway. 95% of people who live together before getting married BREAK UP , even if they get married eventually. Sounds like you are using her for sex and for company and she is using you to live off of. This isn’t going to last. |

It really is a dangerous time to have that occupation. Can she deliver food or do something different for awhile? Maybe help a mother or father with their kids homeschooling homework, etc? I’m sorry Op. I feel for you and wish I could multiply your money in the bank. I hope the banks and mortgage company’s allow a few months grace under these dire conditions. |

OP ya gotta pimp her out ya got no choice. let her give handjobs like 10 bucks a toss i bet you could keep her in work all day long if you market her to the hispanic migrant workers, just go to the 7-11 or the WAWA where they all hang out and wait for the general contractors to pick them up for a day's hard work off the books. i dunno, maybe your girl can give a little lip service probably could charge a few more dollars if she throws in a little suckhole action but i guess to be fair you should ask her if she like the taste of chili peppers and paprika bc the mexicans eat more burritos than anything else and some girls don't like spicy /s |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77936235 United States 03/24/2020 06:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks for responding. She has no friends to go out with, she's a homebody. It's hard to the balance her needs vs our need to keep a roof over our heads. I can't imagine it's coming out of this scenario without major life changes. Even with this stimulus, which is still hypothetical, I can't see us coming out without being financially decimated. Quoting: SoberLife You already know she's a homebody. Why haven't you married yet? She sounds like a good lifetime mate potential. Let her stay home and sell clothes on Poshmark. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 78402820 United States 03/24/2020 06:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have an unpopular opinion, but since you asked, I will give it. Quoting: wkk I believe she should be able to stay home if she is scared. As her partner, you should be willing to care for her needs. And at this time, this is her need. Now, I would suggest that you have the right to make sure she is not just using you. If she is telling the truth, her time off should not be time to go out with friends. because if you are going to take a chance of losing things over this decision, then she needs to be honest with you about her reasons. But if she is scared and honest, then you should put her needs first. It is too bad that you are so dependent on both salaries to survive. Hopefully, the money the government has. promised will help you get through the tough spot and you can make decisions that will allow you both more. freedom in the event something happens. If you really love and care for her, take this advice above. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 43780738 New Zealand 03/24/2020 07:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If there is a community outbreak near your area it would be stupid for her to work. A massage therapist would be extremely vulnerable to the virus. I can see why she is fearful. You are not being protective or understanding. Her job is not “essential” (Dr. Nurse etc.) where one’s profession is a calling to self-sacrifice for the sake of others. It would be stupid risk to continue that kind of profession for herself AND for others. Secondly, you are stupid to not have a months worth of savings in case of an emergency. If all she is paying is water and her car with her salary you should let her take the month off. Thirdly, yes, you should not be “playing house” either you are dedicated to her or not. If I were her, after your behavior I would break up with you. You’re not the kind of man who can have the responsibility of a family if you can’t even plan ahead one month. Is this someone you want to grow old with? Take care of her or her take care of you when you are old? You’re not even thinking of the value of your relationship and what it even means... companionship, partnership, in sickness and in health etc. Lastly, what is the bottom line of your question... if your choice is the possible death of your girlfriend or financial demise and you are having a tough time making a decision about it... there is definitely something wrong with your priorities. |

I am pulling a single income and able to support us fairly well, though we're by no means too far ahead of the curve. We've paid off our single vehicle (just this year) and are going to start absolving all of our debts as soon as everything stabilizes. |

You and everyone know where there 'deserve' comes from. It's the implied exchange for taking the D, after which they get knocked up then cut you off or use it as a bargaining chip for everything ELSE they think they deserve.
