[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. This has turned into a really meaningful discussion and I appreciate all of your input! To the PP above— I do feel like my BF is being controlling or manipulative in making these requests. It’s just a feeling I get. Maybe he isn’t. He wants what he wants, and he wants me to fit into that vision he has for his life. He clearly doesn’t want to be with someone who is extremely job-focused. We are definitely at different points in our lives. I’m not ready to fulfill that traditional female role of self-sacrifice — I need to protect my future self. As much as I love him, I don’t see a way it can work if he is not willing to accept a partner who can’t focus on him most of the time. [/quote]

Let’s put it that way - he can’t afford you. You focusing on him fully has high transactional costs. If he gave you $3mm tomorrow for retirement, would you devote yourself fully to his retired lifestyle ? Or still it won’t work ?

I can see a guy like this dating a woman working remotely for a non for profit or something making $60k/year. Weird that he picked a career woman. It must be the “wind” from his daughters to date “well-off” women and not endanger their inheritance [/quote]
