Chuch Sucks
I have never wanted to hit someone so badly in my life. Chuck knew from the start of the relationship that I am an ambitious girl. It is necessary for me to be with someone who is at least my equal or better than me; someone more intelligent, more ambitious, more educated. Chuck is less intelligent, less ambitious, and less educated. When I met him he was working in the warehouse as a someone who packs shipments. He is smart, but intelligence is about thinking through a situation in its entirety and anticipating problems ahead of time. When Chuck's car broke down he didn't know what to do. To pay for the towing of the car he used almost all the cash he had. He couldn't pay for his cell phone as a result, and has been without one since. He also couldn't get to work without a car. Most of the time he managed to get a ride, but it was never consistent. When a co-worker who lives near him said she would take him, he never got her phone number in case he needed to call her. He would call off a lot because he couldn't call her to take him to work. Last Friday he was fired for inability to show up to work. I don't blame his manager for the decision. Chuck was not at work enough to be an asset to the team. Now he is faced with having to find a new job yet he has no phone number for a prospective employer to call for an interview. He says he has a resume, but his sister is the one with the document, and he cannot get a hold of her, nor does he have Internet access to retrieve his resume. He has no car, no phone, no resume, and he will not start looking for work until he does. I feel like I am babysitting my boyfriend. I promised myself a long time ago not to be "mommy" to guys. I think I may be in that spot right now with Chuck, and it sucks. At the same time, he is my boyfriend and he is down on his luck, so leaving him would be really cruel. I don't know what to do.
