The job market is bullshit, but this won't last. Employers complain that they "can't hire anybody", but then they refuse to hire anyone. Eventually they will be out-competed by somebody who doesn't have their head-up-their-ass about hiring inexperienced or struggling people. If the world is being insane, then it will be a self-correcting problem sooner than later.

Regarding your partner, I will say that you shouldn't be trying to have sex before marriage, but if they aren't interested in sex after marriage then you would do yourself a favor by demoting them to "friend" and finding someone else to court. You need a pathway to get sex, and if they are a dead-end, then stop pursuing them.
