A few months of being sad and uncomfortable is better than a lifetime of resentment and anxiety, anger and rage. It affects the kids.

[@flygirl2447]

Jane.. As a single woman who’s also never been married, I completely get the fact that your nest egg gives you security. You’ve depended on yourself with no help or safety net in the form of another’s income for years, worked hard for it and deserve that. It’s 100% ok and right for you to protect it. Your anxiety is your intuition screaming at you to get out of this relationship. Listen to it!!! He has you paying his bills right now and not only does he not care that he’s freeloading off you, but he doesn’t care that his way of living gives you anxiety. You may think he treats you well enough. But it is basic respect that you are missing. You need to raise your standards.

If you have anxiety abt marrying, it's only gonna get worse if not dealt with before. I think it's more so that she's realized that she's in a situation where she's quickly running out of options and this the closest she's gonna get. There's no problem prioritizing career over marriage but this is the flip side.

[@stevenporter863]

Agreed..

[@jasonmoquin]

NOPE! Red alert, man! To be 42 and broke is a HUGE red flag! How does she know he's not just using her for her money?

[@pongmolina2157]

She is a sugar mamma, im guessing he is very handsome and she is just using him for his looks.

[@craigslistrro709]

She needs to rethink her marriage plans.. Money is just a byproduct of being financially responsible. Her man is financially irresponsible.. They are not a match..

She said he needs to build his book of business. I’m not sure what field he’s in, but there’s fields like sales or real estate where it takes a while for the money to start coming in. She even said he has the potential to make as much as her. That’s my guess.

The caller: how do I deal with...? My advice: You don't! If you have doubts about marrying someone, you should listen to your intuition. Made this mistake in the past. You can't change anyone. Either accept them as is or leave the relationship. You get into trouble when your banking on their “potential”.

[@kdmil2002]

I hope she does not marry him. He is already exhibiting a lack of financial stability. He is already taking money from her and allowing her to support him. The anxiety she is feeling is real and she should listen to her gut. Otherwise, she is in for a very traumatic marriage and this man will bankrupt her.

[@motoman869]

Don't marry him. Dude needs to make it on his own. A man wouldn't take handouts or favors instead he would prove himself. 36 and 42 is late in the game. Preenup is good. Cut the money off now! Go and do fun things and don't get taken advantage of! You called because you are uncomfortable with the fact of him taking half your hard earned money. Also note that being married to someone can bring alot of stress. This guy has to prove through the test of time his character and that includes making his own way. That he doesn't need you to hold his hand. He needs to hold his own. Keep his hands off your stash! He's 42 turning over a new leaf!

Desperation is not a good look. If this guy is hot, she should just live with him. And she shouldn't listen to his b.s. stories about being in "toxic relationships in the past". He was likely the reason they were toxic.

[@jill9606]

She is 36 and wants him to be financially independent so she doesn’t have to support him- that’s totally reasonable. If that’s a value of hers, then a dude who can’t make ends meet is wildly unattractive. I dated someone at 26 years old who couldn’t afford groceries because he had a car repair due. I was financially independent and had been for years, but that set off my insecurity alarms imagining myself in the future having to support someone who couldn’t support himself and potentially bring an income to the family.

She’s fine. She is smart enough to make a couple more million if the marriage tanks. I am a Millionaire and still feel that it is not enough some days. There is no security in money. Your security is that your Heavenly Father will meet all of your needs. Because my wife and I are hard workers we accumulated wealth fast. With Godly wisdom if We woke up broke tomorrow we could do it again. Money is a good bartering tool but a terrible master. Money can’t buy you happiness but can buy you a boatload of misery.

If Jane was my sister, I'd tell her not to marry this guy. He's a walking red flag. And statistically, men who already have been divorced once are at a higher risk of divorce the second time. That and the fact that she's already supporting him financially BEFORE the I dos says she's going to have it rough for decades having to carry this guy, he should be carrying her, not the other way around.

I agree. Don't marry him. He should be in a better position before he marry anyone. It sounds like she is paying just to have a man in her life. It will be interesting to see how he reacts when the funds stop. She just might see why his previous relationships never worked out.
