Boyfriend wants woman to quit corporate job to 'live off the grid', internet thinks he sounds like a 'loser'
Working in an office and especially doing a 9-5 corporate job, might not be a dream for many, but it helps keep the life running. The job pays the bills and provides for food and shelter. A 25-year-old anonymous Reddit user also works a corporate job that she is "decent at." However, her boyfriend, a 27-year-old male wants her to quit her "soul-sucking" job as he can't date an "office zombie" to live an off-grid life. Here's what's going on.?

The woman describes her boyfriend as an "anti-corporate to the extreme." The man keeps telling her how trash capitalism is and how people doing a 9-5 jobs are "brainwashed." However, the woman is satisfied with her job because it helps pay the bills.?
Things took a turn about a year ago. She writes, "About a year ago, he started hardcore pushing me to quit. According to him, I need to ¡°break free¡± from this ¡°slave mindset¡± and, I quote, ¡°find myself.¡± He keeps talking about how we could live this carefree, spontaneous life, ¡°following our souls¡± or whatever. He¡¯s got these big dreams of us ¡°living off the grid¡± with zero responsibilities¡ but no actual plan on how we¡¯re supposed to survive other than ¡°going with the flow.¡± When I asked for real details, he just got vague and started saying I don¡¯t understand what true freedom is."
Recently, the boyfriend asked her to choose one between him and her job. "just a couple of days ago, he gave me this ultimatum: either I quit my job and ¡°wake up to real life,¡± or he¡¯s out because he¡¯s done dating an ¡°office zombie", she further writes.?
How did people on the internet react??
People on the internet schooled the woman into believing that she is doing the right thing. Here's what many people wrote.?
