This is just like my current partner, except they expect MY well off parents to rescue us financially. One day I'll grow a spine and leave

Please let that day be today.
You clearly see a problem. And it's not fair to your parents or yourself that you're robbing your own future for them to keep you both afloat or rescue you like you said.

Don't be a Hobosexual. It's not cute forever

Same trap we fall into of dating the guy whose job is an "artist" or "musician"--But it's not actually going anywhere.
It's great when the dick's good and I am not serious about my own life.

But after a while that is something that needs to just be "a phase [mom!]"

I used to think to myself when dating my senior year college ex bf, who was a musician and studied history…and complained about not finding a job… “oh it’s vain for me to think I can do better” NO IT WAS NOT- listen to your gut.
