Thanks everyone, I sincerely appreciate the honesty. I've been hanging on to a thread with him and waiting for his "situation" to improve.

Well, his parents will be giving him the money that he needs. He'll be okay for a very short while and when it runs out and *if* his latest dream doesn't work, then I'll once again encourage him to get a job. I already pushed for that earlier today.

Sometimes I feel like I've worked too hard to be with him to give up. Aid and enabling....

One of my employers thought my boyfriend was a bit of a "drifter," meaning that he had sooo many ideas and no focus. She said she just wouldn't want me to get caught up in that. It's scary, I've always had bad taste in men.
