| I recently moved with my fiance. For reasons I don't want to post about here (I don't want anyone finding out who I am) I cannot get a job. It isn't a matter of laziness or lack of competency--I just can't have one right now. So, my partner is taking care of me and paying all the bills. I stay at home all day and do nothing (except study). I don't have any idea why I agreed to this--why I agreed to let him take on the bills. Because now I feel locked into a situation where I am jobless for at least eight months. I am going completely nuts. I want to be a career woman, completely independent and not reliant on any man for anything financial. But now I am in a situation where if I get a job, we will both be thrown out of our apartment by the state (there is an income limit). It is making me crazy... my self-confidence and self-image has taken a major nosedive. I am becoming severely depressed. I used to be very active in a sport that I am pass ionate about but now, my performance there is suffering. I know what a lot of people would think- You have a partner who is willing to fully take on financial charge, and you complain? What I wouldn't do for all that extra time... It's crazy, right? That's what everyone tells me. But I was raised to WANT to pull my own weight... | |||
