I can’t sleep. I’m currently watching my BF sleep. He is 41 and broke, broke. He has a 9-to-5 that pays little to nothing. He comes to my house for weekends because my place is more comfortable than his. That’s not an issue for me. He still contributes with the little money he has. The issue is, how long will this continue? He has been applying for new jobs, all to no avail. This is someone who has an elder sister who is a multimillionaire. He has refused to ask her for help in getting a job. He is so used to rejection that he now fears asking people for help. I can’t leave him because I know it will devastate him. When we started dating, he was cheating with two girls. We had issues about it, and he stopped. Now he is so clingy, doesn’t have friends (because of his lack of funds), so he is literally always calling me and all. My own bills are piling up, though I sort them out, but for once, I also need help. I don’t know what to do.
I am doing well for myself, earn about N700k, and I am already in my 30s and seriously want to get married. He is perfect except for the finances. How did I get into this? I can’t get him a job because we are not in the same line of work. Do I break up, or do I just hold on with hopes that things will get better? Like, he doesn’t even have up to N20k in his savings. Marrying a man I earn more than has been my biggest fear in life because I’ve seen what it did to a friend and a sister of mine. How can my biggest fear be coming to pass, or is this a lesson from God? I’m literally all he has. I can’t leave him.
