‘I don’t see a future’: SG woman frustrated as 31 y/o BF quits ‘high-paying job’ last year and remains jobless

A 25-year-old woman in Singapore is struggling with her 31-year-old boyfriend's decision to leave his high-paying job a year ago without securing another position. In a post on r/asksg, she expressed her frustration, stating that she is unsure if she wants to continue waiting for his career to regain stability. Initially, she gave him time to figure things out, but as his income remained inconsistent, she pushed him to start job hunting.

He attempted to find work, but the "horrible job market" hindered his success. Instead of solely relying on his income, she suggested he start a business, which has shown some progress, but still not enough to sustain their lifestyle. She noted that her monthly salary is about twice what he used to earn, and she intentionally maintains a modest lifestyle to avoid financial pressure on him.

Additionally, she highlighted issues with his behavior such as poor time management, infrequent social media updates, and limited compliments. While acknowledging his caring nature, she feels that his unstable income and lack of drive create an uncertain future for their relationship. Despite receiving negative comments from readers advising her to leave, a few suggested having a conversation with him to express her concerns.
