My husband is the moderator for a few different subreddits, and he genuinely thinks it’s a job

My husband is a 28 year old man with a degree, but he chooses to remain unemployed and dependent on me to pay the bills. He doesn’t even have a job in the field that he’s educated and trained in. Instead, he spends all of his time on Reddit. He has hundreds of different tabs open on his computer of different Reddit chats, different subreddits, different users profiles.<br><br>This isn’t the first time he’s decided to do absolutely nothing with his life. A few years ago, he was so obsessed with Wow that he quit his job to play it all day. Before that, it was League of Legends. So his obsession with Reddit isn’t even like, shocking, because he goes through these phases pretty regularly.<br><br>What bothers me is that he genuinely seems to think that being a moderator for some random subreddits is a job. He was refused when he tried to list it on a job application, and he got very defensive about it. He says that he’s an unpaid employee, but he’s expecting to be paid soon. I’m just so over him thinking that he’s doing something important with his life.<br><br>I’m tired of being by myself on the weekends when I want to go do something, because he’s sitting on the computer all day. The only time he leaves the house is when he goes to therapy.<br><br>I’m tired of him telling me how he’s such a victim and how terrible his life is, when he’s privileged to not have to work a job. I’m tired of him telling me about how much of a victim he is, about how the world owes him a better life, how he’s just trying to make it through the day because the world is such a hard place and he’s just trying to not kill himself. <br><br>I’m tired of him telling me that I don’t understand how hard his life is, when I work 6 days a week, I take care of the house, the dogs, and him. I cook, I clean, I do all the yard work, all the grocery shopping. I’m tired of him telling me I don’t understand him, when I give him so much and he refuses to give me anything in return.<br><br>I’m tired of him blaming his mental health for him being a piece of shit.<br><br>I’m tired of him telling me that I don’t want him to be happy, when I do everything in my power to support him, to make sure he’s happy, to make sure he has a good life. I’m tired of him telling me that I’m such a bitch to him, when all I do is cater to him.<br><br>I’m just over him in general, and I know I’m going to end our marriage the moment I graduate in a few months and don’t need his health insurance anymore.
