A few months ago I came out to my mother as being bisexual. Her response was not good to put it lightly.

Ever since then I felt the need to get out. I moved in with my girlfriend's family (now fianceé), and have lived here for about a month now.

And, since I quit my manufacturing job in 2019, I have been struggling to get a job that pays well and doesn't make me want to kill myself. I moved here with the knowledge that it would be easy to get a job and start supporting myself and my fianceé's dreams. And I couldn't have been more wrong. Since coming here I've put in around 15 applications for IT, security, and food service. I have a CompTIA A+, military experience, and 4 years of restaurant experience. No one has called me back yet. The only companies that have offered me jobs so far are pyramid schemes. It baffles me why I can't get a job that pays 15 an hour.

I'm starting to think the only thing keeping me alive is my fianceé. I can't leave because she needs my support financially and emotionally, and I need hers. I've been hemorrhaging funds since moving here basically paying for everyone to eat. If I don't find a job by February I'll be completely broke or forced to leave her and move back in with my parents.

I just want a shred of hope.
