I KNOW I KNOW this is sort of relationship-territory question but I need a male perspective. My boyfriend of eight years is a finance director for a car dealership. He has monthly breakdowns (end of the month) about the impossibility of making profit, getting “bad deals” and the brutal work hours that never seem to translate into financial success. He insists he can make this job work if just “this one thing” changes. It doesn’t. It seems like his managers and store owners (whomever- the hierarchy is confusing and they all seem to be scared of someone) just screw him over constantly and then when he is most fed up—— they throw him a bone and love bomb him into staying. Guys… it’s been YEARS of this. It’s a constant roller coaster. I try to listen but it’s such a consistent pattern I have trouble engaging authentically when internally I am rolling my eyes. I’m a teacher so I get the cult of labor/employment we can all get sucked into. How do I support him getting out of this and getting mentally better from the abuse? submitted by /u/huarhuarmoli
