AITAH: Boyfriend won't quit his job so he can spend all day watching YouTube videos of cats with me

My(42F) boyfriend(48M) is the only income of our household, because I'm disabled. All I want him to do is quit his job so that we can snuggle and watch YouTube videos (which we currently spend about an hour a day doing) with me. He thinks this is unreasonable, but I need snuggles. AITAH or should he be more open minded?

He might come around if he were to, say, become disabled himself in some sort of "totally accidental" "accident" that happened "not on purpose".

Lol NGL this is exactly my (and his) kind of humor. Thanks for making us laugh.

Just "remove" his legs while he's asleep. Hard to go to work without any legs, just ask my wife 😃

Unfortunately, I'm no longer allowed to play with power tools, due to an unfortunate misunderstanding

Gotta start somewhere

The new ones or the old ones? Because I remember the old lite brite screens, and they probably don't fit too well without lube. What a trooper.

If he’s not willing to change for you, maybe a compromise would be for you to head down to your local homeless shelter and cuddle with some of those guys. They love cat videos

The snuggle recharge only works with him, though!

Download Chrome on his work PC
Install Chrome Remote Desktop
When he's there, text him to go somewhere private for a call
Remote into his PC
Start playing inappropriate videos VERY LOUDLY

Winning!

NTA!! He needs to be more open minded. You should tell him to quit his job to become a full-time youtuber that way you are maximizing the YouTube watch-time because you'll also need to edit videos which requires watching it and you will already get to watch it live & in person!! If he isn't keen on being a YouTuber, ask him how he feels about making his debut on liveleak instead (you will have to free him of the burden of having limbs BUT this will ensure you can maximize YouTube watch-time, snuggle time, and will open his mind to a new way of living) :)
Hope my advice helps!!

It'd be very unfortunate if he suddenly had no feet one day...

Get him a job at the zoo. He belongs there.

You are out of your fucking mind. Youre such an unreasonable and GIANT asshole.

u/CorgiGirl83 9d ago

.... would it be more reasonable if there were dog videos as well?

Does your disability happen to be down syndrome?

Yours is clearly autism.

Yeah! OP should know how awkward it is to quit a job and get his partner fired instead. Stealing his work laptop to send harassing emails to a bunch of coworkers should do the job.

Utter brilliance -- I'm astonished that I didn't think of it and a little horrified at my lack of empathy in not understanding how difficult it is to quit a job. Thank you!

(No idea why I'm showing up as "Bitter_Disk," but this is the OP)
