I am asking it just because I want to know how others support each other emotionally/financially in their relationship?
I have been with my partner for 4years. Living together for about 2. I moved in his house and when that happened we agreed on how much rent I am going to pay him. It's absolutely fine and I would have felt uncomfortable not paying anything at all. We have been sharing the costs of the food bills ... don't go down to every little penny but I think it's fairly balanced between the two of us.
I recently gave up on my old job and decided to change careers. He was very supportive emotionally we talked about it loads . I gave up on my job 3 months ago but hasn't managed to find a new one ... Firstly I was just looking in the industry I wanted to step a foot into but the past months I have been applying for every single job I come across. I don't know why I am not getting a job. Emotionally it's bloody hard but so is financially... I live on my savings and still pay rent buying the food as normal. And I am fine with it! I know my DP works hard and don't expect him to cover my ass just cause I made a decision. But! A friend of mine mentioned how relaxed I look and I must getting lazy etc because he is supporting me financially. I explained to her this is not the case and she turned it around saying it s not nice of him not supporting me especially based on the fact that he earns 65-75k... this made me think... should he support me a bit financially? How would this be like in your relationship?
