Update: We had a talk and came to the conclusion that we both have been so frustrated cuz we feel shut in since we live in a very small apartment. The apartment we currently have is suitable for 1 person, but it's difficult to manuever with 2 people. We don't have our space and we can't even open a window for fresh air due to the screens being out of the windows. I have told him that he always had the option to take a walk if he was feeling too closed in, but sometimes i can understand that the weather is just too bad for that. Times have especially been hard cuz we got a lot of snow and we live up on a hill (that isn't very close to anything) and neither of us own a car. The living situation is getting both of us down so i really don't think that breaking up right now is a very good idea.

Our lease is up in 1 month so we have agreed to move to a better location before we make the decision to break up. Also, he did suggest that we go to counseling or a communication class which i think would be good so we could work on our communication problems.

We also talked about the job situation and he told me that i was sending him jobs that he was not interested in. He told me he really wants to get a job too and he's not comfortable with the way things are, but he can't seem to find something that interests him. He's not a people person and would prefer to work in a back room or more independently. I think those jobs are hard to come by and he shouldn't be so picky. I am still going to stress that he needs to look harder for a job if he wants to continue to stay with me.
