Text translation: “I finish work at 6 pm today. I want the food to be warm when I get home. And don’t forget to put that movie I told you about on the USB, I want to watch it after getting in bed”.
Text from today. I’m expected to cook all of his meals, do his laundry, iron his clothes, do the grocery shopping, clean the house, run any errands he needs, etc. basically all of the housework, he won’t do anything even when he doesn’t go to work. I love him but it becomes mildly infuriating at times, especially when I have to sync my life with his schedule. At least he takes good care of me financially.
It’s basically impossible to live a good life as a student / unqualified worker here without financial support. Cheapest rent is like 300€ and a new entry job pays like 600€ - 0% chance of living well like that. Plus prices are crazy we’re in a bit of an inflation crisis at the moment (Romania). :(
You should calculate how many hours you work for him. Maybe you could actually do this as a real job and earn a living wage.
I might have a different definition of „good life““ than you, but money != a good life.
While I ultimately agree with you, I wouldn’t deny that lack of money is a good recipe for a bad life either
Do you have cars in your country? If so consider moving into a vehicle and converting it out to both gain freedom and remove rent from the equation. Its not easy or feasable for everyone but perhaps an option to consider. If your family has big back yard maybe put down a four season tent anf move into it so you don’t have to deal with them.
