Here’s the thing OP. He may sound like he’ll give you the world, (but how he’s only 18 too?). But he could end up controlling and abusive like your dad….he convinces you to move and quit school. Once you get there, you are completely dependent on him and what happens when he becomes controlling, won’t let you finish school, get medical treatment, won’t let you get a job. You see how important getting your high school finished at least is:
Wait, so what’s his plan for childcare? I realize he has no plan for work, but that’s a huge thing to uproot with no plan on where these kids will be cared for when working is happening.
Also, why doesn’t he look for new work NOW, then have this conversation when he has secured it? He is setting everyone up for failure, as he has no plan for work or childcare. Right now he’s just going to drive back over an hour to the town he hates, while leaving you behind with no childcare, and spending less time with family because of the commute?
Can you sit him down and say you will consider alternatives if you can come up with a plan instead of simply running away?
That’s what I think… my first thought was that he’s having a sexuality crisis that he doesn’t to address
Well at least you know you don’t need to waste anymore time with this guy
