His girlfriend was born into a wealthy family, we weren’t. She owns their home, he works, but she takes care of their expenses.
Is this wrong?
Is it acceptable?
It's wrong to be dependant that's for sure but when the reality is that she's worth a lot more and thus can pay more bills then it's not wrong for her to do so. But he needs to pull his weight as much as he can else trust me things can go bad.
I don't come from s wealthy family but my mom makes more money than my dad and so she pays more bills and covers my education as well as my brother's. My dad does his best but it's never enough financially and they fight about it sometimes.
It seems whenever my dad just relies on my mom too much she gets defensive and refuses to pay for whatever he wants her to pay for.
But when he focuses on his work and beings in as much income as he can she actually buys him things, like pants, sweaters, belts... without any occasion. She just notices all his pants are getting old and used and gets him a new pair.
So it's a tricky thing in order for it to work both partners need to give one another and not ask one another for things.
I see nothing wrong with this picture. There are many ways to contribute to a relationship besides money. And also, there may be things they've agreed upon that we don't know about. As a couple we have the right to create our own standard, one that, no matter how the outside world feels, is perfectly fine with us.
While they may have agreed for her to pay the bills, he may be doing other things in the relationship that make it all worthwhile. He may make her feel like the Queen that she is. He may shower her with love, something that money can't buy. He may serve her breakfast in bed.
Only they know and only they should. As long as they've agreed on it, who are we as outsiders to judge.
Hell yes it is wrong.
No matter if she comes from a wealthier family, it’s never okay for someone to be fully dependent on someone else, especially if they’re men. They tend to become more agressive and arrogant as the time passes by, and its clear as water he is using the opportunity to cover his laziness. Nothing good comes out of a lazy man, they’re just plainly disgusting.
My cousin comes from a wealthy family, and she lives with her husband in a simple home while they both work, he has never asked for anything from her family and they’re both really happy and financially stable.
In my opinion, she should leave his ass, before he starts making her life miserable since he will have nothing else to do (unfortunately in most of cases like this, it happens)
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GENDER EQUALITY? You women wanted equal rights, the right to vote, the right to be soldiers, lawyers, equal pay, but when it comes to financial support, all of a sudden you want to be special? Oh, let me open that door for you. So I can slam it in your face. Lazy btchs.
Honey we are in 2021, both genders work to provide. Never said it was okay for the women to be lazy. Re-read what i wrote before commenting stupid shit.
I did.
"Nothing good comes out of a lazy man, they’re just plainly disgusting"
I suppose you meant a lazy person? Or when a woman is lazy that's not disgusting? It's 2021 honey, and still more women stay home than men, it's a FACT whether you like it or not. My point stands.
Sweetie the case is for a MAN. So therefore I said what I said. If the case was for a woman, I’d still stand by my statement. Have a nice day.

I feel it's wrong. But not because she's a woman. But because I don't want to be financially "taken care of" other than by myself. I do not find comfort in living a freeloader lifestyle. Except of course if I lost my job and am applying for a new one.
I do not trust sponsorship of any kind because one day they will stop and then you'll be as broke as me as a teenager or these nomads. This happened in the USSR, where supposedly "everything was free" - education, housing, food, guaranteed employment. Then the economic collapse hit and absolutely everyone, who relied on the government's aid became a penniless hobo like I used to be (although I was in Germany, not in the USSR) and the people traded with potatoes and onions rather than with money. Everybody was the bottom class.
I don't see the problem. If she actually knows how to handle the finances and she isn't a spoiled brat then I'd say things are pretty good.
I always have a perception that women born into a rich family would be very spoiled and wasting money on a bunch of dumb crap.
If this isn't the case then good for him.
No, it looks to me like they're perfectly fine with the arrangements. I'd feel differently about it if he weren't working and contributing.
She has money to take care of expenses, so I see no problem there, you said he works so he isn't just sponging off of her, most couples I know do a percentage of income
If they are happy with the situation, it's fine. Reports say many women don't like it and don't respect the guy.
Nothing is wrong if the 2 people involved in the relationship are happy.
I feel like if they're both happy then that's all that matters.
