How do you turn your lazy boyfriend back into the working man he used to be before over a year on disability?
ByQuestion by kmae1423: How do you turn your lazy boyfriend back into the working man he used to be before over a year on disability?
He has been on disbility for over a year and has now just went to unemployment. He used to have values and work hard now he’s just a bum and doesnt want to do anyhting but sit at home and not help with anything while im at work. He does watch our daughter and he is a wonderful dad. I just can’t take his new outlook on life. He would be happy to be “Mr. Stay at home Mom” now, when before he loved being the provider. I want him to get motivated and go back to work. He is more than well and able now but just slacks off because he figures since he makes just as much sitting on his a$$ why work. It’s taking a toll on our relationship, arguing over everything it seems like. He’s living in a dream world. I dunno, he’s definately turning into someone i don’t know anymore. Please help! Any advice would be wonderful!

the next time he wants something, tell him there isn’t enough money. Don’t mess up the fact that his taking care of your daughter. As a matter of fact, just let him know since he is home all the time, that he has to do all the housework, cook all the meals, do all the grocery shopping, take care of the yard. He is stuck in a rut from being out of work so long.If you get together with friends brag about his job as a stay at home dad. If he sees others are working and have more than he does maybe he’ll feel inspired to get out and get a job. The unemployment won’t last long and soon he’ll have to start working again.For now, take advantage of him being home. Money saved, no day care expense. Try to get some extra hours at work leaving him alone for longer periods of time. He may feel like he’s missing out on something.
