[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it that you don't make enough or that you don't seem to care about making more for the family?

I love my current boyfriend but recently figured out not only is he a low earner (not a deal breaker, he loves what he does and is a hard worker) but that he had zero knowledge of retirement and how much he would need.

So basically if he were my life partner I would be supporting both of us in our retirement, and I only make $100k and have kids from my marriage. In fact, I wouldn't even be able to marry him because I'd even lose money from social security benefits which are nulled if I remarry.

It's not the earnings that are unattractive to me, but the fact that he entered into a relationship with someone with more than him with zero awareness of how he is a potential liability and that I would stay at his minimal level of lifestyle forever. [/quote]

Is it possible he entered into the relationship with plenty of awareness and sees you as someone who might carry the load? [/quote]

I’ve definitely worried about that but he’s so clueless that he doesn’t even understand my situation. I am pretty low key and drive a super crappy car. I’m sure he loves me for me which is why I feel kinda torn about it. [/quote]
