Are girlfriends the only antidote to wage slaving?

It seems to me that having the will to go through a difficult shitty job is having the reassurance of knowing you have a girl in your life. All my coworkers, younger or older, have a girlfriend/wife. They seem to be OK with doing the shit they do, while I have to pretend I am doing good.

I even called off work this week. I don't have bills anyway.
I feel bad, but I don't see any difference except a few shekels being thrown into my account.

I wish i went to college or something, couldn't afford to.

Having a romantic partner is important to many, but as with most things, there's always outliers.
Some people are honestly better off without a fixed partner, for the simple reason that they are either unable or unwilling to provide another person with a net benefit.

So in that sense ask yourself seriously: Would you be a net positive for someone's life? Would someone else be a net positive for your life?
Ask yourself those questions after you've jacked off and you will understand how you tick.

For some people being married sucks, but many people derive pleasure out of it. I would say it's a worthy endeavor, so go try to get something.

The antidote is purpose.

Correct, and it doesn't even have to be a "good" purpose. The folks that have dedicated themselves to collecting toys or trading cards are some of the most content people I've ever met.

They probably have kids. Having kids lights a fire under your ass and makes you put up with a lot of bullshit because you have kids to take care of.

I don't see why it wouldn't be a net positive

If I don't enjoy the work then I should quit?

Yeah the older people have kids. But they also chain smoke and their skin looks like sawdust so maybe this job is just down their alley.

Ultimately I'm stuck either way. Something like an office job sounds like more my type of thing because I feel like i could use my brain for more than manual labor, never went to Uni because i had no funds. I don't know how the world works. Nobody has mentored me.
