I’ve realised that since being a child (growing up in the recession) I’ve always been slightly anxious over another recession/job loss/(anything out of our control with money).

I feel better for what was said yesterday but I’m feeling resentful against my partner. He went through 6 months without a job, got one a couple of months ago and got a lease car which I was uncomfortable about - pretty much spent all his wages paying money back and living the high life. He’s pretty much lost his job and he’s now going on how he’s lost money on his car and can’t afford his bills. I’m not going to let him starve but I’m pretty pissed off his luxurious spending habits has made him broke (absolutely not a dig at anyone living month to month due to low wages/benefits etc). I don’t want to post this on AIBU as it’s a sore subject, and probably a lot of people in the same boat. I almost want to say ‘told you so’ when he said everyone gets into debt for cars and I need to be less anxious when I bought my self a reliable little run around instead of getting a naice car on finance.

While nobody knew this was going to happen I don’t want to bail him out again. Am I just being a super bitch?

He's not suitable for a relationship. Look after yourself, OP.
