    Font - My fiancé (m37) and I (f30) have started living together 6 months ago. I own a house and he moved in with me. I run online business from home which allows me to live rather comfortably. A month after moving in, he quit his job saying how much he hated it and that he's going to try and do twitch streaming for a living. Im all for following your passion so I was supportive although surprised at the turn of events. I am in financial position to support us both but it felt off.

    Font - Anyway, nothing happened with his twitch channel. Sure, he's gaming all day but hasn't bothered to even try and create an account, he just games for pleasure. It's been 7 months. I've had conversations with him suggesting he finds work but he keeps telling me that I'm unsupportive and he needs time.

    Font - He wanted us to buy a bigger house together but I said that I'm fine with my current one and that since he doesn't have a job, I don't want to get mortgage and be left with paying everything and he told me that if I found a real job maybe I wouldn't have financial problems. We had a massive argument that night. Now, he's been hinting at needing new gaming laptop which costs a few grand and I've been ignoring it so he asked outright for me to buy it for his birthday.

    Font - I told him no that my fake job doesn't cover new laptops and he got really pissed at me, telling me I'm selfish and am ruining his career. Granted, I can afford it to buy it but he really hurt me saying my business is not a real job despite me working my ass off. AITA for not buying him new laptop? 4 24.5k ↓ 1076 ↑ Share

    Font - Holmes221bBSt. 3d Asshole Enthusiast [8] 2 Awards NTA. Wow. So he saw you make money with your own business & decided you can be his sugar momma, while he follows his dream of being a professional gamer. Yeah ya know what, no. You have a real job, he has NO job & now he's going through some early mid life crisis trying to be some edgy famous gamer. Sorry but he sounds like he's 19. He'll be 40 soon. HE needs a real job, not you 11.7k ...

    Font - mangarooboo • 3d I'm selfish and am ruining his career. Lmao. What career? NTA. I'm a straight woman but can I be your new boyfriend? You sound like you're carrying all the weight here and instead of being happy for you (or even feeling lucky and grateful for being able to just fuck around for seven MONTHS and have zero consequences) this dude has become spoiled. Does he do chores around the house at least? Show SOME form of appreciation? ... 45.1k
