I’ve recently been feeling really frustrated with my boyfriend. He’s a lovely guy and I do love him, but he comes from a wealthy background and doesn’t work. He’s 18, as am I. I find it really hard to manage my feelings around him having everything handed to him while I’ve been working since I was 13 for everything I have. He had a job for a few months last year, but has been unemployed for many months and is not actively looking for employment. I think his lifestyle is just so different than mine that I struggle with it a bit. I’m a very busy person - I’m studying a few advanced highers as well as figure skating regularly, which I pay for, and having my part time waitressing job. On top of all of this I managed to save up for and take driving lessons and pass my test. I can’t afford insurance, so I unfortunately haven’t been driving since I passed my test. What frustrates me is that if my boyfriend wanted to learn to drive his parents would happily pay for his lessons and insurance - but he still won’t learn! Maybe if I’m being honest I’m a little jealous thinking about how easy his life must be. I can’t even imagine being unemployed and not stressing at all about money. He’s a lot less busy than I am too - he’s studying at a lower level than I am which requires less study time, and doesn’t have any hobbies that take up his time either. I’m so maxed out constantly that it drives me mad! All of my friends boyfriends have jobs are can drive/ are learning to drive and I find myself wishing my boyfriend did these things too. How can I manage these feelings?
