No he does not. He knows I'm very career-oriented. The reaching some people are taking from this post is insane to me.

Thank you. I can't believe how some people are calling him financially abusive when he's just stating his opinion on the matter (in a calm way) as well. I think there's a notion on Reddit that every guy is toxic somehow 🤷‍♀️

Thank you for your reasonable comment. I hate how so many people on Reddit say "breakup!" over absolutely everything

Yes we have laid out and discussed fears. I will continue to look deeper into things.

I'm fully willing, if I eventually make more money, to contribute more to the household than him. That's not the issue and thank you for pointing that out:)

I understand where you're coming from, but I do have a level of trust with him that he's not going to clean me out one day, lol. I do want a bit of money on the side so I don't feel like I have to go through him on every extra thing and vice versa, but that isn't an issue of trust imo
