You know, I'm going to be just a teensy bit charitable and wonder if he is suffering some sort of depression from the upheaval and change. Is his behavior a passive-aggressive way of acting out his unhappiness?

If so, it's still his issue to deal with. You can be understanding and supportive if that is the diagnosis, but he has to recognize that there is a problem and seek to straighten it out

Seems really high stress
It's commission based. The aspect is stressful, the people we deal with are stressful, as we work you'll randomly hear someone singing or someone will start dancing it's not like that all day.

It's what we do to get through the day because were all stressed.

You, on the other hand, have every reason to get rid of him. He's a baby. Stop enabling him. Hard, I know. I enabled my ex-husband. But if you don't do something about this now, it's your own fault.
I really do enable him.

This is not a healthy relationship for either one of you.

What? You're too poor to buy more than one kind of jelly? Look, pull out your spare change and buy five jars of whatever you want. Get the good stuff, not that cheap crap. Get some good bread and some fresh ground deli peanut butter. Take it home, sit down at the table and indulge.

Then, tell your boyfriend he has 30 days to find a new apartment.

Not too poor. He just rather get what he wants so he can save money for other crap he wants to buy.

I also previously stated that I don't even want kids right now. I'm 24, let's try 28 or older.
I don't know how to put this without sounding rude, but putting up with that ahole guy does not make you sound very smart. Cookie, donut, turnover, or whatever dessert you want.
Also...the pill fails. Condoms fail. One of my best friends used both and still got preggo.
This relationship is going nowhere, but you are too mired in the inertia to get out and move on.

I'm smart.
If I put up with it, I wouldn't be here talking about it and it also wouldn't start fights between us.
If I was putting up with it, I would do day in and day out doing whatever and not having an issue with it.

OP

You are smart 24 year old female.

Why on earth did you get involved in this type of unhealthy situation?

Do not see your relationship through rose colored glasses.

Exactly how long do you want to stay with your boyfriend?

When I was your age, I never wanted to get involved with any guy like your boyfriend.

I am glad I did not.

I'm certain he was probably a much different person in the beginning.
