Woman expects boyfriend to cover $4000 Greece vacation after she quits her marketing job without telling him: 'This is manipulative at best'

A couple waits with luggage on a bench.

When a woman quit her job without backup, she expected her boyfriend to swoop in and fix everything. He didn't.

Trust is essential in a relationship, and if you don't have it, it's hard to get anywhere. It's the foundation of a relationship, and once it's broken, it's very hard to repair. This is why you always hear about honesty and communication. Not only do you want to keep your partner abreast of big changes in your life because… they're your partner. You would also hate to spring something on them that they weren't prepared for. But what if the thing you have to tell them is a staggeringly difficult one? What if it changed the nature of your relationship, possibly forever? Is it understandable that you would drag your feet on something like that?

Those are the questions that came up in this relationship when a woman secretly quit her job without a backup plan. She was feeling burnt out and overwhelmed, so she took matters into her own hands. The problem was that she expected her boyfriend to pitch in.
