i have been in a relationship for a couple of months...and my bf works odd hours at Lowe's.... he is unhappy at his job and i understand that it bothers him....but it drives me up the wall...he is constantly repeating himself throughout the day...it annoys me so much because he then droans on about how he works too hard...its gotten so boring that i know what he is going to say, how he says ( down to the facial expressions, and word emphasis, everything) and when he says it....then he talks about becoming the person he was and maybe he willl get some respect.... im usually good with words...but i dont want to sound so b*tchy about it....i understand he is troubled by it...but it makes me not want to talk to him....which then leads to arguments....

he's not the right person for you you need to break up with him and find someone you actually like.

If he's that unhappy, I'm a little confused as to why he hasn't found another job. Misery loves company and I refuse to be that company.
Also, why does he feel he works any harder in a day than the average person does. My husband and I always laugh at people when they talk about how "hard" they work. Isn't that what you're supposed to do? I don't understand why people boast about things they're supposed to do. Can't really say I have any great advice for you, but I can't definitely understand your frustration. Hang in there! Maybe start hinting about looking at the "Help Wanted" ads. Good luck! â¥

It's not like Lowe's is a career path. They have one of the highest employee turnover rates I've seen. So, he won't be there long. Everyone who works there probably hates it. This won't last much longer if he hates it that much. Help him look for a new job, be supportive when you can, and let him know that you're sorry he hates his job, but if he wants something better he has to get another job. Have him apply with a temp service to get him into another job quickly. Occasionally the temp services can help you get a decent full-time job.
Aside from that, if you're not able to deal with his emotions in stressful situations, it could be bad news for anytime you ever have stress in your life (which is pretty much going to happen here and there throughout your life-it's inescapable!). If you can't deal with eachother when you're stressed out, you should work on that before you drive eachother crazy. Good Luck!

Well, obviously, your unhappy about it. Just keep telling him that he's too good to work there and after awhile he will realise this and quit and get a new job that he will be happy doing.
Although people may deny it, everyone wants to feel valued and important, so, its much better for his self esteem in the long run if he get a job where the boss actaully values his contributions as a person.

Tell him you hate to see him so unhappy and aggravated everyday when he comes home from work. Propose that you will help him find a new job if that's what it's going to take to cheer him up. There's ways of putting it without having to tell him to stop whining about his job. Just be sincere in wanting to see him happy and not just wanting to shut him up. Good Luck.

I would sympathize with him, say like, "Yeah baby, I know you work too hard yada yada yada." and then suggest that he start looking somewhere else for a new job. Be like, "You are not working the job you are qualified for. You deserve much better." Something like that just so it strokes is ego and maybe steers his head in a different direction.

Make him a cup/ glass of Tea, and give
him a piece of cake.
While he's eating, drinking and talking,
ask yourself " Is he the one "?
It's only been a couple of months,
why drag it out longer if he isn't.
There are many harder, back breaking
jobs in the World, then working at Lowe's.
If it seems like LOVE, you could help him
find something else.
Hmmm
Good Luck.

He needs to stop f uckin complaining and do something about it! If he is unhappy then he needs to make himself happy and stop making u unhappy a well! He needs to either figure his sh it out or u should break up with him.

Well if it leads to arguments anyway, why not just be direct? Just tell him he sounds like a broken record and then change the subject!

He truly needs to get another job. And if that doesn't work then you need to make so changes.
