...See more Hello everyone, My daughter turned 1 last month and as her father I have been watching her ever since. My girlfriend and I agree’d that I would quit my job at the Bank and do stocks since she just started a good position with Stanford working from home. Well I have been struck bad financially and it’s starting to take effect on our relationship. She had to cover a portion of my rent last month and as a man I felt so terrible being in this position. I’ve tried working graveyard and watch my daughter during the day, but it started taking a toll on my health for the lack of sleep and it wasn’t fair to my daughter the way my mind was static during the day. Just recently, my girlfriend has had tough days at work with all the COVID surge happening and thats when she started verbally expressing how she feels about the situation.. She resents me for buying a new car as a family car and wasting all of my savings on stocks. Mind you my money has run dry since I haven't been working for a year. What hurt me the most is when she said I'm not a partner I'm ‘dead weight’. That really struck a nerve. I’ve been depressed before but this… is for sure a low point for me. I’ve hit rock bottom. Personally I would rather be the one working my ass off and have her be the full time daycare for our daughter which I intend to do, but it’s gonna be a while. I’ve applied to many jobs but it’s tough during this COVID pandemic. We both know this has fractured our relationship and the sparks isn’t there anymore.
