My partner insists he's been applying to loads of jobs but I know he's lying

DEAR DEIDRE: MY partner insists he has applied for loads of jobs but I know he’s lying.

He just fills in the Universal Credit journal saying he has applied.

We both lost our retail jobs in January, a couple of months before coronavirus hit.

I’ve applied for lots, with no luck. He didn’t bother.

I am 31 and he is 33. We have been together for five years.

I hate it when he lies to me. We can’t go on like this for much longer. I am beginning to resent him.

DEIDRE SAYS: He might have hit rock bottom and lost his motivation but deceiving you like this is not OK.

Say you sympathise with how demoralising the job-hunt can be but you need him to be honest with you.

My e-leaflet Help For Job-Hunters is full of information – but only he can take those steps. If he won’t try, you might have to call it a day for your own sake.
