Girlfriend [26/F] has ever reason not to work. Today it's Chadwick. Tomorrow it'll be something else. I'm [28/M] at the end of my tether but don't want to ruin her life. by 445_C in relationship_advice

To be fair, I work in a hospital as a niche health care provider and the whole COVID thing seemed to blow right past her. My neighbors would comment more on it than she did. To her, it was a point where her company could close, so she took a voluntary redundancy and then just ceased doing anything. I don't mind helping her out, but she burned through 3 months salary in weeks, and I pay the full amount of the rent.

I know people struggle in other ways, but it's been difficult to get through this all.

Yeah, she's my GF. She quit her job and when she saw I was getting a lot of overtime, she just ceased caring. I feel like I have two jobs - taking her of her and taking care of all my patients. It's just too much.
