"When we decided to start living together, he said that he will cover the rent, which is about $1,300 a month, and I would pay for groceries and our utilities,"
"This ought to scare the crap out of you,"
"This young man, for his own mental and emotional health, needs to be doing something,"
"Because he has you to float him, I think that's creating a sense of comfort and complacency."
A 25-year-old Oregon woman earning nearly $90,000 and pursuing an MBA is covering household rent after her live-in boyfriend lost his job three months ago and stopped meeting financial obligations. The couple originally agreed that he would pay about $1,300 monthly rent while she covered groceries and utilities. The boyfriend has not sought lower-paying or part-time work and appears complacent while depending on her. Extended unemployment while cohabiting introduces financial pressure and emotional strain. Recommended responses include setting clear financial boundaries, requiring active job-seeking, and reevaluating household agreements to protect financial and emotional well-being.
