Search Results: i like him but he has a girlfriend

I am 30 and flat out broke. I don't own a home. The only true assets I possess is a sedan and an RV. I live in an apartment, and I will have to move back to my parents' home once my lease ends.

I am newly engaged and already starting off on a bad foot. I didn't get my first actual girlfriend until age 29, the woman I am now engaged to. I have been a software developer on and off for the past 4 years now. Sadly, my industry has been decimated largely due to the Xiden regime. To make matters worse, his regime started the process of terminating my social security benefits and Medicare his last 3 months in office, despite being unemployed since mid-July last year.

I didn't have the greatest past. I have a stalking conviction from 9 years ago. I ended up losing my EMT license in 2019 because of that. I have been in and out of hospitals for severe mental illness, and I was caught up in a pred sting 3 years ago. No charges or convictions stemmed from that, but there were collateral damages for sure.

Anyways, I am talented and highly skilled and poor as dirt.

I thought the 30s were supposed to be a time when a man is financially sound and successful in his career.

I want to get feedback on my partner:

- She’s not keen on me seeing friends, for my safety and would rather I met them with her. She also uses the find my iPhone feature with me.
- She messages me and phones various times per day, and gets frustrated if I don’t reply quickly, she says it’s to check I’m ok,
- She tracks my spending on her, to check we’re in budget. Even if I a buy a coffee she’s brings it up and asks why I bought it.
- She’s says if I don’t spend $$ on her birthday present I don’t love her. Also said her birthday needs to be “perfect” with hundreds of balloons etc and fancy cake.
- She doesn’t like me having a female friend at work, has told me to stop going to lunch with her. Said it’s to ensure I don’t “cheat”. She messaged my friend at work on Facebook to ask about me.
- My partner doesn’t like me following other girls on social media even friends.
- She told me I can’t have anyone better than her.

Is she a good partner? I’m really conflicted as this is my first relationship. My female friend said there is red flags everywhere, is she right?
