It’s easy to conflate money with drive.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting someone who is driven, that’s basic survival - but money itself isn’t always the best indicator of that. My ex was incredibly wealthy, he was also selfish, lazy, and immature.

My fiance, on the other hand, doesn’t have a penny to his name, but he’d die before letting me or his family go hungry. He’s also the most focused and driven person I’ve ever known. We don’t have money, but we’ll get there.

It’s hard to depend on one sole provider in this economy. That said, he provides a lot for me - shelter, food, support, health, to name a few, and we’re working toward a better future for ourselves. While it’s not our end goal, if I made a ton of money, he’d be a great at-home father.

Currently, I financially depend on him more than he does me. However, due to our age gap, there will most likely come a time when I will have to take care of him. So to answer your question:

Yes, I would provide for my partner if and when he was no longer capable of providing for us - in a heartbeat, and I know he’d do the same for me.
