Is it normal that my boyfriend refuses to get a job at 18?

49% Normal
12 Comments

My boyfriend is eighteen years old, and seemed to be the laziest person I met. He makes money currently by making websites, but my issue is that even if we take a walk around a city near by he complains he doesn't like standing up too much, or he has to 'relax' after a normal day of high school. He seems to think that high school is hard and has never had a REAL work day in his life. So I told him he had to get a job or else. Is it normal that he refuses to get a real paying job at this age, he IS going to college next semester.

    Refusing to get a job at 18? Normal.

    Complaining that he doesn't like to stand up too much? Not normal.

    If he's making money from making websites then that is a form of work. Be glad that he works. His constant tiredness could be due to many different things besides "laziness": 1. He could have a poor diet. 2. He's not getting enough sleep. 3. He's tired after coming home from a long day at school (who wouldn't be?). 4. He might be under a lot of stress. 5. He could be in poor shape. 6. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or another undiagnosed psychical condition. 7. Etc.

    He needs some fried chicken too !

    Maybe by him another ounce of dope when you leave the house next too.

    If you want him to go out may I suggest you buy him so cocaine and blowjobs and stop bitching at him all the time - you sound really fucking annoying.

    Give up !

    He shouldn't complain so much...

    I got Rheuma and can hardly stand and walk sometimes, yet i do it.

    I can't get jobs due to my Rheuma and Epilepsy, and I hate it, yet he refuses to do anything!

    Make him realise he should be happy with his health and body.

    The fact he's able to work...

    He's lazy. It's normal for people to get lazy. You're not lazy, therefore... you're too good for him

    And you see yourself living your life with a lazy person like that? Cmon, if he complains about freaking standing up and walking, just imagine when you move in or have a child.

    once you start working, chances are you won't stop for another 40+ years. unless he's begging you for money or expects you to pay for everything, then I don't think it's a big deal.

    He is lazy - get out of the relationship now before you end up being his second mom! I did it, Im telling you, he wont change and you will end up wasting years of your life arguing.

    The only thing important is that you agree what he contributes is fair. The definition of "fair" can vary considerably though. Sounds like you should talk to him about it. Something tells me if you are just telling him to get a job because you think he is a slacker that this aspect of his personality won't change no matter what he does for a living.
