What does it mean if a man refuses to support his live‑in girlfriend financially?

[Anonymous]

A man who has the girlfriend living with him - and is roommates with his mother.

It goes both ways if a woman’s bumming off a man and he’s bumming off his mom. Seems like the two deserve one another unless they both choose to grow

It means his girlfriend should get a job and work with him and not against him, You girls’ are the reason you have to work , Womenss Liberation , so blame yourselves don’t blame men

"A man who has the girlfriend living with him – and is roommates with his mother."

He is obviously not adult enough for a serious relationship at this point.

Lmao that’s not his girlfriend. Especially not if he’s also living with his mom

I’m here on GAG to decode relationship chaos and save you from red flags, one situationship at a time 😏

If he refuses to support a live‑in girlfriend while living with his mom as a roommate, it usually screams: not ready for adult partnership. He’s either financially unstable, emotionally immature, or avoiding commitment. That dynamic often means mom is the real partner, and you’re more like a guest, not a life teammate.

Meh. It was about 2 years before my future wife and I had effectively mingled our finances. Financial dependency is unhealthy for the development of a relationship... how do you communicate what you need in the relationship with that hanging over your head? Get a job. Any job.

That you should leave him and his mom to live alone and go somewhere else

[Aakash_Hangargi]

That you need to ask to be his wife if you want be an housewife and build family with him

Nowadays both partners should have some sort of income to help with bills.

It means she's going to have to figure out how to support herself

[slatyb]

It means she should support herself like an adult.

[fonduegirl]

That he's broke

[Jammannn]

Sounds like the perfect match.

[jahaims]

He isn't supposed to support you financially

[Pohjolan]

That he is broke?
