<human>: Hi all,

My relationship started approximately 9 months ago. When we met he was studying in college but since then, has left, been unemployed and is now working.

During the time in which he was unemployed and prior to his pay beginning (he had to work 3 months before he could be paid) I have paid for everything. Food, date nights and additionally I would buy him gifts. He was unhappy he couldn't return this behaviour.

He now works and is paid monthly, but the amount is variable to the amount of jobs he does. His boss decides who goes on what jobs. This means his pay can range from a few hundred to a few thousand.

I am so tired of covering him financially. It is sucking all the enjoyment out of the relationship and we now argue over it often. No matter how much I budget, I cannot put any money in savings and as someone who has no one but myself to rely on, this makes me worry. My boyfriends reassurance is that he is getting a large pay next month, but this doesn't help with bills now, mostly food. I am also losing hope that he ever will cover his share. I'm starting to want to leave.

I feel like I've conveyed my point terribly, but I'm currently upset from yet another fight this morning as we are due to go shopping. I will try to provide as much information in reply to your questions as possible.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: my boyfriends pay is not reliable and financially everything sits on my shoulders. I'm finding it hard to cope but don't see how things can change for the better?
