My boyfriend (male, 22) was fired about 6 months ago from his factory job. He and I (female, 24) have lived together for a little over a year. He worked there for over a year and was fired because of his attendance. I got my first real "big girl job" this time last year and have been working part-time. I can handle my side of the bills, but he cannot. I had to force him to file for unemployment and make sure he kept up with it. My mom had been helping us financially because of the loss of his job. He gets so angry anytime I tell him that he needs to buckle down and find a job because unemployment was going to end soon, and my mom could no longer help us. During this time, I went into a deep depressive episode and gained a lot of weight from stress eating. Well, just at the right time, he was hired 1 month ago. While at this new job, he was not getting along with a trainer. He was getting in trouble, being asked why he is not committed to this, what's going on, etc. Just last week, he was apparently ignoring his trainer, and she told their manager and left. My boyfriend was sent home and was told they would talk on Monday (today). I dropped him off at work today (yeah, he doesn't have a license, that's a whole other issue) and went home. He soon called me, saying they fired him.
I picked him up from work, and he told me that they didn't want his side of the story and just fired him. First of all, would they just fire someone for 1 issue? Is he not telling me the whole truth? Over the many months of being unemployed, he would not help with house duties (I am chronically ill and disabled), he foolishly spent money on collectibles even though we had rent and bills to pay, he made zero effort into looking for a new job after I told him many times that I was in the depressive episode because of all the stress, he kept getting mad at me when I told him I didn't want sex, and just treated me bad.
Our whole relationship has honestly been such a rollercoaster, we have broken up and gotten back together multiple times, he has ghosted me for weeks or a month...
With all this being said, AITAH for wanting to find someone who is committed to creating a future with me, someone who can handle himself and take care of himself? I just want to feel secure and safe, and I no longer do.
