Women: Do you depend on a man financially?

Question

Not trying to be mean. I'm genuinely curious. I'm sure you can get by financially by yourself just fine, however is secretly one of the reasons you want a boyfriend/husband is so that he can take care of all your needs and wants financially? Please don't feed me a bs line because you might be upset by the question, I'm just looking for the truth. Thanks in advance!

I make a lot of my own money, but lots of it goes towards making myself look and feel good for my s/o, I'm a feminist yet I also believe that men should also still pay for the first dinner. I've payed 40 dollars for my nails, 20 dollars for a blowout, 60+ for the makeup on my face, and a lot more for the sleek and sexy dress, heels, and all that. If I'm paying 120+ just to dress and impress him, he should be fine paying 60 dollars for our meal. He still owes me 60 dollars but yknow, that one's on me😘

no, never financially. i like to be on my own feet, and not hating on girls that do depend on their s. o financially, but it's just too much for me. I wouldn't feel pleased with myself

I am conflicted in this area. I have never thought of money as who to pay what till recently.
I am always financially independent since i started to work at 11 years. old.
I married and everyting was jointed. He makes more money. I stayed home for a few years. Once he left me, he changed all the pass words and I had nothing.
I started all over, and still I am finaically fine. I can also take care of my kids with my salary. I dont need a man to support me financily and will not depend on one to do so. However I do not want to be takeing for granted with my situation. to me its still important that a man treats a woman right to love her and respect her.
i do know some woman go to man with money only.

I’m single now, so no. And when I was in a 11 years relationship, my ex had a well paid job, it happened that he could take care of me while I was studying. But I cannot say I was with him for that reason. I was with him when he didn’t have anything. After some years, I earned more than him, and returned the favor. I can say that, for me that doesn’t have any family, I felt secure with him, it’s nice to know that someone has your back. But it is not the reason why you are looking for a relationship. I loved him very much for many other reasons, we grew up together.

Not in a complete sense but part of the attraction of being with a like minded, financially stable individual is on the basis that you would work well together financially and be able to live well together. I don't like the idea of being dependent on someone to fulfill my financial needs, and would likely be uncomfortable if they were to try and create that scenario. On the opposite end I do not want a man that I would have to support, so why should I expect that from someone else?

kaylaS91 · Answer

nope.
Finances are not even a tiny bit of a contributor as to why I'm with him. He was far 'richer' than me when first started dating, and making much more money per hour than I was. Now, I've got two jobs while he's got none but that being an 'issue' for whatever reason still doesn't come into play.

fauchelevent · Answer

Nope, I don't. My boyfriend doesn't have a job, his only income is from student loan which I also receive as well as having my job. He depends on me more than I depend on him but I think it's fine.

Lovetolearn47 · Answer

Nope. Not at all. I'll let him pay for things if he wants to, bc I know men like to feel that they can be a good provider, but I like knowing I am able to care for my own needs too, so there is no anxiety if things don't work out.

witherwing · Answer

I have a job and my boyfriend doesn't. Our relationship has nothing to do with finances. But I am definitely looking forward to moving in together, because two to three -room apartments are so much cheaper than studio apartments.

YouShookMeAllNight · Answer

I think some women do.. but me personally i dont even like my guy buying me dinner...

ciitruskiwi · Answer

Nope. I always thought it was stupid. There is no guarantee that you'll be together forever and if you do break up what's going to happen now that you can't depend on them financially.

Belorum · Answer

Eh no... and also for my parents my mother was the one who was earning money, he was jobless and refused to do anything in the household as well because that would be "woman's work" ...

HOAAH · Answer

Men and women should want to be together to help each other more than one take advantage of the other.

Zendrya · Answer

I'm not financially dependent but we do help each other when we need it. He helps me more than the opposite.

RuthAnn1781 · Answer

No, my mom pays for everything and when I move out, I'm gonna pay for everything. I don't like being dependant on anyone

My truth is that depending on a man financially is actually a fear of mine, I'd much rather know that I can look after myself just fine and having a partner is a bonus, I'd never ever want to feel dependent in that context.

Vmm90 · Answer

No I don't. If anything I believe in building a life together where you both contribute. Firstly I want to be able to support myself though.

Dont have a man. But I can handle things on my own. However if I were to get into a relationship that lead to living together. Id expect him to pay his half of mutual bills (power, internet, rent) and his own personal bills. And do a fair share of the housework. Whatever money is left is for ourselves. Teamwork is a must :)

Elliegirl · Answer

No. Actually, I make more money than he does, but his job and money aren’t why I’m with him anyway.

cuttl · Answer

My man and I are financially interdependent. Neither of us would make it financially on our own.

PinkandSparkles · Answer

No, I am very independent and don't depend on anybody to take care of me.

Queen_gamer · Answer

No I would rather struggle everyday than have a man say you wouldn’t have this if it weren’t for me
