Does my boyfriend getting an $8000 unemployment check make him better than me?

He hasn't worked in 3 months. He just learned last week he could apply for back unemployment and got an $8000 check last week. He makes almost $900 a week now. He barely made $300 normally.

I bought all his food, movies, cigarettes, vodka, and paid his rent for 3 months. Now he wants nothing to do with me after he got rich. He's been going with other people to go on a shopping using his welfare. He has a brand new iphone, tv, surround sound, grill, power tools, and bunch of new clothes.

His job even opened back up and he was on the schedule but he told his boss he's not going back until his unemployment ends.

How come I have to work and don't get a handout to buy stuff I don't need? 

Update:

He doesn't even buy the cheap vodka anymore. He buys premium brands. And he doesn't use store brand cranberry juice. He gets Ocean Spray.

    The fact of the matter: No, money does not define you and making more money than you does not mean nothing, because money will come and it will go it he does not know how to manage it correctly, or knows how to invest it correctly, then he will be flat broke like a lot of people. I have seen it way to many times.

    So at last you see him for what he really is.  No doubt people were telling you he was a POS but you refused to listen.  Or you're just trolling, I'll go with the latter.

    Why are you with a piece of s%it? Don't date worthless people. They will disappoint you every time no matter how much you hope they change.

    If his job opened back up and he was put on the schedule, then his unemployment comes to an end.  He cant just choose to stay on unemployment if work has recalled him.

    No, his not spamming R&S with such tripe makes him better than you.

    Meanwhile, other unemployed people can't get anything, or get maybe $90 a month because of loopholes in the system.

    Trump is trying to buy his vote!  Did his check come with Trumps signature on it?

  • Well you should become unemployed then. Who told you to get a job?
