My partner hasn't had a job in 15 years. They have a lot of social anxiety and a lot of difficulty trusting other people. They say asking for a job is immensely triggering. She tried therapy twice at my suggestion but stopped because it "wasn't helping." But then they get mad at me for saying it's fine if they don't work because they want a job and want to get over this hump, but can't. I'm stuck and I don't know how to help anymore. Money isn't an issue, but they're miserable about this and I'm just so sad and stressed. Every day I come home and they're sad and talking about how they're wasting their life, and I truly don't get why that isn't a motivation to do something. Anything.
