I'm a 23 year old male who is gay. I have a partner who is 41 years old and he supported me for the last 5 years. He is very wealthy. During those five years I took so many jobs but I did not keep them. They were very short lived. I have become accustomed to relying on my partner for all of my financial needs (car, housing, food, gas etc.) I have taken advantage of all of the perks.
Before this relationship I was able to keep a job because I had no choice and my parents were not wealthy. I was independent. How can I condition myself to keeping a job?

there are hetero couples where the Man earns enough to support a wife staying home. She doesnt have to work. He's happy enough that she keeps up the home, nurtures children if any and has the time to run errands and do what ever else and he is perfectly happy as long as she really loves him. Finding someone who loves you unconditionally is enough for a person to want to support that person, whether able to or not. The only ones who actually can do so have money to do it with. So check with your partner. If its no issue for him but you want busy work to focus on, try becoming a volunteer somewhere where you are fulfilling a need they have, doing something helpful but not tied to a 9-5 full time job. iF YOU like the idea, you can find all sorts of places to volunteer. If you like the outdoors, you can become part of a volunteer club that helps maintain trails in parks or do clean up of litter in parks. If you like gardening, then volunteering with local garden club who will do city beautification projects with flowers come spring and summer and maintainence of these public areas. If you belong to a church, some have volunteer programs especially the Salvation Army churches. Or volunteer at a soup kitchen. If you like to bake, donate baked goods at some of the local schools when they have a bake sale but you'd have to check ahead. Christmas time there's a need for help with collecting and wrapping and delivery of toys to the children of poverty level families. It could be a myraid of different projects you find to occupy your time around the year. Good luck. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
