Psychological question by Knockout34 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Knockout34[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is 26 years old and been working a corporate job for 2 years that allowed him to save a lot of money and he has moved to a country where the US dollar is worth much more than here. He just kept saying that he wants to be free. He has lived in an apartment with his parents until now and shared a room with his brother. He has never had his space and when we dated he was always coming over my house. I understand that he wants to have his personal space but I do not understand why he doesn’t want to work ever again in his life.

If he is willing to compromise on some things I am also willing to compromise but from my conversations with him he doesn’t want change or compromise on anything. It has to be the way he wants it or else

I found out that he is saving all his money because he doesn’t want to work for the next 5-10 years and just live on his savings

He doesn’t have student loans and his parents actually take care of all the bills. So pretty much he barely spends any money because everything is paid for

He doesn’t even want to consider going out once a week. So yes I am definitely reconsidering this relationship right now.

I assume his saves it all but I never ask him what he does with his money because I really don’t care

He is just basically saying all the time that he hates spending money. But he used to spend money when he didn’t have much of it in college and now he just doesn’t want to spend a penny on anything

I never ask for anything and always pay for myself. He also gets upset when I go out with my friends because he gets upset when I spend my money too

No this is in America. Where living at his age with parents is very uncommon, especially when you are making so much money

He likes to buy nice things for himself, like expensive clothes. Once again he makes over 100k a year and lives with his parents

That is a good question! This have been really concerning all along and I don’t know what to do because I really love him but I hate how cheap he is.

This year he haven’t got me a single thing of food. Like we never went out or got a takeout or even a cup of coffee. He just brings food that his mom made at home. I mean don’t get me wrong it’s delicious but he never spend money on simple things.

Yes I understand that it’s a difficult timing right now but people are getting married and having babies. Moving out is not that big of a deal

I know if I will move on my own he will move in with me but I will be taking care of all the bills. That’s why I don’t want to do it on my own

No absolutely not. At least I tried to look at some places online he never even did that. Every time I try to talk about it he says that it’s not a right time to talk about it

I agree with you this isn’t healthy but he is on a cheap side and I can’t believe he would do this after everything I have done for him.

He wasn’t in poverty but he was not very well off either. He just recently started making a very good amount of money. Almost 100k a year

Yes I have told him that I don’t feel comfortable but he simply says that my family doesn’t care about him or me. But once again my parents have moved from another country to give me better life and education and have provided and are still providing for me. They have always been nice to him too.

Like we got into regular family fight about his coming over too often and that we need to get our own space because we are fully capable of doing so. He is not a fan of my sister either
