Question - (12 December 2008) 1 Answers - (Newest, 12 December 2008)
A female South Africa age 41-50, *opo writes:

I am in a state. I have been dating my boyfriend for almost two years. When I decided to go ahead with the relationship he has just lost his job. I thought it was not going to be long for him to get another job back. He has a masters degree and he plans to start his own business... i tried to assist him finding a job and he is really trying. the thing is his business process has taken more than a year and still there is nothing on the table. I have been telling him to pressurise the people he was dealing with because they are really fooling with him. They have made him wait the whole year and they have now started with the things they were supposed to have done 9 months ago. They postpone his meetings, cancel them and give him different plans that do not make sense.... He is soo desperately naive.... at least he got a job to teach at the university but it is not paying him well... so the whole of this year we were living on making ends meet...

i have a well paying job and i understand how it feels to be in his situation and I love him dearly but the fact that I will be dating him for two years and he still hasnt got money even to survive himself... freaks me out...

can someone advise me im frustrated as hell...

A female reader, petina1 United Kingdom +, writes (12 December 2008):

petina1 agony auntCouldnt he get another job as well alongside his teaching job. These jobs are in demand. He needs to be concentrating on that and maybe push the other ideas in his spare time. If he didnt have you, then what would he do, he would have to do something then to be able to live. Behind every sucessful man is a woman so it sounds like you will have to get more involved and push him and his associates in the right direction. Otherwise you will have to get used to supporting him, which is an option you don't want. hope this helps.
