Buckeyegal Posted July 21, 2001 Share Posted July 21, 2001 Sounds as though the two of you jumped head first, eyes closed, into this relationship. Only together a year, and you have a child already? I'm assuming the pregnancy forced you into a living arrangement that you probably wouldn't have made so soon, if there wasn't a child involved. I won't preach to you about birth control, it's a little late for that, but hopefully you've learned something there. Since the two of you probably went from dating to being mommy and daddy living together, there's not much chance that you really knew each other that well. From the sound of it you are both verbally abusive to each other, and both of you run away from dealing with your issues in an adult manner. If you want to save the relationship, you should probably get couples counseling, they can show you ways to deal with stress and anger, give you communication tools, etc. She has problems with you being unable to hold down a job, and while the way she deals with this is immature, she has a legitimate gripe. You're a father now, you need to grow up and be a responsible adult. I'd be ticked too if my husband/boyfriend couldn't keep a job, and I was left to be sole provider for myself, child and lover. Especially if she doesn't have a good paying job, that would be a tremendous amount of stress put upon her. You don't think a job should get in the way of love, but when there's little money to put food on the table, pay the rent, love and respect can go flying right out the window.
