Check out how issues obtained tense between the couple.

I’m (28M) from Europe however I reside in Korea, and have been relationship my gf (30F) for over 3 years. She is an excellent individual and I can’t wait to marry her in the future.

We by no means actually battle or argue, however with that stated we obtained into an argument right this moment.

This is the place the whole lot will get tough…

She just lately give up her job with nothing lined up, which is a bit harmful nevertheless it was inflicting her loads of stress with time beyond regulation, demanding bosses and many others.

Fair sufficient.

She additionally has over a years wage saved up since she nonetheless lives together with her mother and father who pay for the whole lot (no lease, no groceries, no cellphone invoice, and many others.)

She stated she was planning to take no less than a couple of months off work to journey, calm down and do no matter whereas she nonetheless had the prospect.

UH OH…

Again, truthful sufficient. But, over the cellphone she excitedly advised me about her plans to say jobseeker’s/unemployment profit.

I requested her if she actually wanted it, and she or he stated “no but it’s free government money so, why wouldn’t I”? My reply was that I didn’t know the method right here in SK however certainly she wants to really apply for jobs to be eligible, no less than that’s the place it really works the place I’m from.

She stated that I used to be proper, however she was simply going to use for 1 job a month, one thing that she stood no probability of getting, and that’s technically sufficient to get it.

She stated it’s effective as a result of apparently many younger South Koreans do that.

He wasn’t anticipating that!

My argument was that it’s fraud, particularly in her privileged place as the cash needs to be given to those that actually need it and are literally in search of a job.

Especially from my viewpoint since there’s loads of hate in direction of overseas residents proper now, with loads of it coming from the “they come into our country and take all our benefits”, and right here in entrance of me the girl I like is siphoning these actual advantages whereas planning to laze round doing nothing/travelling.

I lol’d and stated I might inform my mother since my mother thinks she’s an absolute angel and she or he exploded in anger at me.

He’s not sure about the entire thing.

My viewpoint is that in case you’re ashamed sufficient to get mad about it, deep down that it’s incorrect and also you shouldn’t be doing it.

AITA?

OUCH!

That seems like a difficult state of affairs!
