Agree with FireSprite completely. You are used, to some degree, to having someone else in this relationship that you can count on, that genuinely might be pleasant and kind sometimes etc etc, I know he's not a monster.

Now all of a sudden you are supposed to maybe discuss if the electricity bill has been paid this month? A couple of months ago you were a "couple" now what??

It's definitely not easy. The approach FireSprite describes above probably goes against everything you have experienced in this relationship up until now, now you are supposed to just let it be a passing thought that it would be nice if that work came through?

Unfortunately, that's the only way. Not to say you will always have to be that detached, but for now, what other choice do you have. The upside is it will free you.

Easy for us to say as we aren't depending on him earning that money right? Absolutely. Should he be on a bus or hitchhiking or calling a friend or whatever he needs to do to get there. Yes he should, but again, not your problem per se. Let him work that out.
