I get that. I just can't understand the mindset. I'm someone who has a job and I'm always searching online for some freelance work as well. So when he won't even go to his current job or has no desire to even really look for another jobs. I don't nag him anymore about it, nor do I comment on his hours spent playing video games. I simply get quiet with him and internalize my anger, which in turn just makes me miserable and makes me not want to do anything.
He's going to be 50 in another year and he can't stay at a job for much more than a year before he has to leave for another one. If he was 30 and doing this it wouldn't be bad, but at nearly 50 and no 401k retirement fund because he takes these crap jobs with either no or crappy benefits, he's going to have nothing. When he wants to leave a job ofr another one, which usually pays less, he'll try and upsell it to me by saying "Well the pay isn't that great, but I'll be a lot happier because it's an easier job with normal hours."
