Okay guys I need some advice.

I have been with my boyfriend for 2 years now, and of course I love him. But he can't keep a job for more than 3 to 6 months. During the time I have been with him he has:

been a general contractor (quit)
opened his own moving business (quit)
GM at Chipotle (quit after a few weeks)
GM at Wendys (got fired)
GM at Hardees (quit)
GM at KFC (got fired)
GM at Perkins (got fired)

Thankfully he has always paid his side of the bills (even if he barely scrapes by until he gets another job). I told him its a problem and he needs to stop doing it because its too stressful on us. Am I just over reacting or what?

    No mature adult ready to be part of a healthy relationship would have a job history like this.

    sounds like a loser, sorry, dump him. you think its bad now? imagine being married to him and having to support him because he has issues.

    My advice was simpler but implied the same thing.

    I just don't understand how people like that can still keep getting jobs, yet people who have held jobs forever are having such a hard time finding work. Kind of makes me sick.

    I don't think I could marry or have kids with someone that I could not depend on.

    I don't know if those are your goals, but I certainly do not think a relationship evaluation is over-reacting.

    How's his balance? Sonic is always looking for skating carhops.

    Agree with everyone else. As a father, I would not want my daughter to be with a guy who cannot show any commitment or responsibility in his job.
