My (22F) boyfriend (30M) thinks he can support me & our future family making music, but he sucks at it. I love him & we’re poor. How can I help him?
I love my boyfriend, and I know he loves me. He’s interesting, funny & intelligent. We’ve been dating since March 2025, and our relationship has gotten pretty serious. We are both unemployed. I dropped out of high school (for reasons that may be triggering - but I am getting my GED), and he’s never gone to college. We’re also poor. He’s only ever worked minimum wage jobs, and they’ve never lasted longer than three years, and I haven’t been able to find a job & I don’t have a whole lot of experience. He’s given up on finding a job at the moment, and has become convinced that he can make music and support us through that
The thing is: my boyfriend, whom I love so much & have a lot of respect for doesn’t have any talent in making music. He makes amazing drawings & comic type things, but he CANNOT make music. He’s using ai generators to create melodies & lyrics for him. He also copies & pastes melodies/chord progressions he finds that other have used into his music. He’s tweaking little parts of these generic ass, soulless, talentless “songs,” and is planning on releasing them all over the internet claiming he created them.
I guess this wouldn’t be so bad if he wasn’t trying to make this his full time career. What’s so shitty about this to me is that we are seriously planning on getting married & having children one day (not now dw), and the fact that he is so deluded about this makes me think he isn’t going to be a suitable partner for me & my future family. I just don’t know what to do. The music is terrible, it’s not even his own, and I want to let him know that this concerns me, but I don’t know how.
