I have a feeling that he's really depressed because he lost his job. This is a REAL blow to someone who is 39 ~ he's used to being self-sufficient and now he has to rely on a 22 yr old to SUPPORT him!!! He's just lashing out at you because he's angry --- angry that he lost his job, and angry because you have to support him. Don't take this seriously -- he's hurting.

Take a few minutes to think about this -- Here's a guy at 39 who is being supported by a 22yr old -- that makes him sound like a gigolo. That's the LAST thing he wants to be!!! And what if his friends find out? He'd be MORTIFIED! Try to be understanding -- listen to him, and let him pour out his fears & feelings. He doesn't know what to do right now -- he's lost.

Best of luck. I hope he bones up soon and starts looking for a job -- but don't nag him. He'll probably do it soon. God bless. Hugs, Lee
