The “I don’t know”

My boyfriend shared with me that he is struggling with his current job and wants to find something else to do. I have supported him in anything he needs to do get a temporary job until he finds what he wants to do. He has 1 semester left in college and it seems like he doesn’t want to graduate because I don’t think he wants to do something in his degree path. He said he’s just graduating to graduate. All he says is I don’t know. I am also worried because he is pretty quiet and I feel like I have to pull this info out of him and it scares me for what he is feeling and hiding from me and I just want him to be open with me and I have told him that.

For me it is hard to see someone I love struggle and I just want to help, but I don’t know how and this is making my anxiety consume me. I have been in his place before and am just barely seeing the light at the end of the tunnel but I can’t stop crying, because I care so much for other people.

I don’t share about my anxiety or minor depression at times and just push it away like I don’t need to talk to anyone or get on medications but right now it seems like i have reached my breaking point.

I don’t know what to do for him or for myself

I dated a guy like this. I don’t know your Man but here is my experience. Maybe it will ring true to you too. I dated a guy who was just not ambitious. I’m a go getter and I know what I need to do and he kept saying he didn’t know what to do and he has a job at Walmart but is still living with his parents even. He’s 20. I know what he needs to do to move out and get a real job but the problem is I don’t think he wants to. Some people are content with not reaching for the stars. It could also be that maybe he just doesn’t know what interests him. You could tell him to diversify his classes. Take a botany class and a culinary class and a teaching class and a writing class and a music class, or whatever suits him best. The sooner he finds what he is passionate about the better chance he will want to go out there and actually earn it. Good luck babe, I’m here to talk if you need me ♥️
