Struggling with Job Search and Feeling Undervalued in My Relationship

I was laid off over a year ago and have been struggling to find a decent job since then. Currently, I'm working delivery jobs, but the pay is really low. My boyfriend, who comes from a wealthy background and has never had to deal with low-paying jobs, thinks I'm lazy for not having a stable job. This really hurts because I come from a difficult background, having lost both my parents and growing up as an orphan. I have my own physical and mental health challenges, and I've been trying hard to make something of myself despite all this. Today, he made a comment that made me realize he views me as lazy, which broke something inside me. We live together and split rent equally, but he mostly pays for groceries while I cook. We've been together for over a year, and I can count on one hand how many times he has taken me out to eat. I’m not asking for much, but it feels like he doesn't truly support me. I even told him I would be willing to drive two hours for a stable job, but his attitude makes me feel undervalued. I'm just venting about how this situation is affecting me.
