DEAR DEIDRE: I LOVE my girlfriend with all of my heart but her inability to keep a job is ruining our relationship.<\/p>\n

How can I focus on building a future with someone who can barely afford to pay her share of the rent?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m 37 and she\u2019s 34. We\u2019ve \u00a0been together nine years and since the beginning she has been in and out of work, swapping jobs every few months.<\/p>\n

I assumed this was something that would change as we grew up.<\/p>\n

Things would always follow the same pattern. She would get a job, try for the first few weeks then after a while she would start calling in sick and slacking until she was eventually let go. <\/p>\n

She hasn\u2019t kept a single job for more than five months.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve tried multiple times to speak to her but she always blames something or someone else.<\/p>\n

Because she never has any money, I end up having to pay most of our expenses.<\/p>\n

Nothing changes and I\u2019m starting to resent her for it. A part of me wonders if I would be better off without her.<\/p>\n

DEIDRE SAYS:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>It isn\u2019t surprising that you\u2019ve had enough. Your girlfriend is in denial about her working habits and you are paying the price.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s understandable you\u2019re worried about building a future together if she has no job security. A relationship goes both ways and it\u2019s not your responsibility to have to pick up the pieces.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you want to make things work then you need to sit down with her and have a serious conversation. <\/p>\n

Tell her how worried and stressed you feel. You can be quite firm and spell out that you need her to pay her way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If she can\u2019t step up, you will need to consider walking away. My support pack Ending A Relationship will help.<\/p>\n
