I'm 28 but if you still think attaining an education, having 5 years professional work experience, and a savings is early to want children for a woman, I'd reconsider your point of view.

It's not that I'm blaming him for getting laid off, he easily gave up the first two times he was let go ( contractor). It took a lot of convincing him that he has alternatives, is fully capable of working, and building the confidence in him. He was let go another time but stayed around the house 7 months before finding another job. This is one year into dating and I stuck around to have his back... Though it's not my place to pay his bills at this point in our relationship. It takes two to contribute, and just because I have a decent job doesn't mean he's hit the sugar mama jackpot. If he that was what he was looking for, he should have been up front so we don't waste time. I need a partner in life who is responsible and can at least have confidence in himself. Its exhausting, tiring, and I really try to be reasonable with him by being practical and approaching this with empathy. Even when I did have difficulties before meeting with him, I actually sent my resume and applied for jobs ever day religiously. He hasn't even attempted in the past 6 months... Not even to positions with his transferable skills.

Given the context that I haven't shared the entire story, it's easy to side with him right now. He has options he hasn't even considered. I've shared job applications and ads, gave him contacts.... I love this man and want to spend time with him. He makes very poor financial decisions like noy paying taxes for 3 years while he was making 6 figures out of spite (now has a lien, when he clearly could have chosen to pay it off). It's NOT a narcissistic view, it's a true red flag. Here out of love I stay here with him.
