The 27-year-old man took to Reddit to ask if he handled the situation correctly, explaining that he has been with his 26-year-old girlfriend for two years, and they moved in together six months ago.
However, three weeks ago, his girlfriend quit her job with no warning, notice, or plan for the future.
'She said her manager 'gave her weird energy' and she was tired of being around people who didn't 'see her full self,'" the poster explains. "I asked what her plan was, and she said she was going to 'take time to realign.' "
While things were fine at first, "now rent is due, and she says she can't cover her half." She asked the poster if he could just "take care of it" and that she would "make it up to [him] spiritually."

The man told his girlfriend that he would cover her rent this month, but he's 'not her bank.'
'She flipped out and said I'm 'capitalist-minded' and lack emotional support,' the man shares. 'Now she's pouting around the apartment calling me transactional.'
