'He couldn't stand the idea of working for someone else': Breadwinner girlfriend splits expenses 70/30 with jazz musician boyfriend, argues with him about getting a 'real job'

Being an artist is all about sacrifices. You have to either be willing to live on a shoestring budget, piecing together work while you can, or give in to a 'real job' that you can do while pursuing your interests. But things get messy when you try to depend on another person for your financial freedom, especially if that person is your significant other. 

I understand the appeal of avoiding conventional employment as long as you can. Do you think Jimi Hendrix would have become Jimi Hendrix if he decided to pick up an accounting position? Probably not. But Jimi Hendrix didn't rely on your girlfriend to sort it out for him (OK I know very little about his biography, so don't fact-check me).  But that's exactly what happened in this story from Reddit where an aspiring artist got a little too comfortable with this cushy financial situation. And it caused real ripples in his romantic relationship. Read on for the details.
