My Boyfriend works with his family it really frustrates him and he hates it but he won't leave. What can I do?

Question

My boyfriend and I live together. We have been together for a year now and for that entire year all I have heard is how much he hates working for his Stepdad ... Ex-stepdad actually but that has nothing to do with it. He works is A** off and gets minimal compensation for it and absolutely no recognition they treat him like c**p and he just takes it day after day he works 11hrs. a day 6days a week. I have tried to tell him to find another job. He is more than qualified as a mechanic and could earn way more at a dealership than where he is now. He gets angry at me everytime I mention this and says that I'm just like her(meaning his EX!) and that I need to stop or I can go back to living at my mom's house. I honestly think he is getting mad because he knows its true and is just extremely frustrated. I need to know what I can do that is going to get through to him and get some results. And if not any ideas on what I or he can do to make things better as it stands?

Answer 1

You've said your piece(apparently several times) and so far your advice has been rejected. Back off. He knows how you feel. He may even realize that your right that he can do better elsewhere but it's his life to straighten out and having one more person tell him how to run his life isn't going to do anything but make him mad. Be supportive and listen when he vents but refrain from telling him what you think the solution to the problem should be. Knowing your simply in his corner will eventually get him off the pot, but not if you nag him!

Stop pressuring him and let him make his own decisions. I think every man comes home and has a bit of a ****** about their day etc. Just be there for him while he is having his little winge, give him a kiss and a hug.. and then change the subject. He is a grown man who can make his own mind up... he will leave when he has had enough as I'm sure he knows his options. Saying that though, he does sound a little on the agro side... just leave off the subject completely. Good luck x x x
