We do have a mutual promise that we don’t restrict what the other watch, especially over porn. But at this rate and under this political climate it worries me when all he watches is J. Peterson and Asm*ngold.

Recently, he’s planning to ditch his 9-5 to get into streaming. I understand following your dreams instead of working hard to make some capitalists rich but streaming has become oversaturated as hell. With Twitch being a cesspool and Kick being the place where troublemakers have free reign, I worry he will get involved with the wrong crowd.

To top it off, he keeps talking about women having to do the same work as men do in the name of equality, to which I agree. But when I question how he is going to do his fair share of responsibilities if he gets nothing from streaming, he suggests me being the breadwinner until he makes it big. This is the same man who said men paying for women’s education is a dumb move because she would end up leaving him in the end.

I feel like he is just using me for sex and a future financial support. Is there anything I can even do to tell him what he’s been doing is really concerning to me?

    The vast majority of people who try to get into streaming don’t make it. A lot of it is pure luck even if you’re doing all the right things.

    I’ve seen many great streamers fail because they didn’t attract large enough numbers to be sustainable even though they were doing all the right stuff.

    Anyone serious about being a successful streamer will keep their day job until the point where streaming is self sustainable, which can literally take years of grinding. This guy doesn’t know shit about streaming or how to get there. How he’s going about it is a recipe for failure. And then he expects to use you to keep himself from becoming homeless if it doesn’t work out, which it most likely won’t.

    Run.
