He lives with his mom to make money last more. When I met him he worked at a restaurant and paid for his stuff and his half of the expenses when living with his mom. Soon after we got together he quit his job because he had a problem with the boss and what he was making wasn't enough because the place was too far away. After that, he started working at another restaurant a bit closer but to be completely honest, the money was terrible. That wasn't worth it at all. After that, he got another job at a diner that was close to his house. The money wasn't great but it made ends meet. Unfortunately, his herniated disk gave him problems and had to go to the hospital which made him miss 1.5 weeks of work. He had a doctor's note and the boss saw he was feeling terrible. She told him to take the time he needed that he would get his place back. When he went back after the week and a half (they only used him on weekends and he missed 2) the boss said someone had taken over and she just stopped picking up his calls. He got another job at another restaurant and that one he just quit because he felt like it. He said he didn't make enough money there for the amount of work he had to do. During all this time, I paid for his car lease and insurance and other expenses. His mom covered the rent and the phone. He didn't bother to find something and pay for himself. He hasn't paid child support in 5 months. His license is suspended. Back in April, I found out I was accepted into New York University College of Dentistry. He said from the start he would go with me. So my parents have paid for my expenses in relations to that and I have paid for his. My parents HATE him be they think he's lazy that's using me. I'm in love with him. I leave tomorrow. My parents are telling me to not take him, but my heart tells me to give him a last chance in NY where there are plenty of jobs compared to Miami and see what happens. If he doesn't start working within a month and doesn't help me out, I'm going to tell him to leave because it's only fair he helps me since I will be paying EVERYTHING with loans that have interests. What do you think?
