Can I suggest my boyfriend go on welfare?
What makes you think that he will agree to this?
I will tell him that it is a good way to get support for a long time.
Welfare is there to support people in need and it is good to use such social support when you need them. Your boyfriend will just have to make sure not to abuse it so that he can use it while he needs it.
I'm a girl an I told him that I need to take some time to myself. I won't have time to do my other job so I won't be able to support him like I used to so he needs welfare.
It is good you are trying to help your boyfriend out. Welfare won't always be available to everyone that applies, so perhaps helping them apply to a job and updating their resume will be a good backup plan too.
