I’ve been very happily married for over 20 years and imo the key to a successful marriage is mutual respect and similar work ethics. If you’re both lazy, that’s okay. If you both work hard, even better. But you can’t have one work hard and the other not. He will lose respect for her and that’s a downward slope to divorce.

This is not unheard of. She is quietly expecting him to "man up" and pay off her debt. And if he should marry her, this is exactly what the rest of his life will be unless she finds a richer man.

Right she can do all of that and she still wouldn't make very good money

[@snowflakesandstars]

She should try Only Fans LOL

[@Essays4College]

"paralyzed by the debt" LOL Young man you'd better run while you can!

hahahah buddy she targeted you like a predator ..drop her now

[@tanya292]

Everything he said about her shows how financially irresponsible she is. Laziness is only cute after you've spent a week working and don't want to clean or do laundry on your day off. And the biggest red flag is that he is the one who called Dave, not her.

[@tanya292]

@Johnny Five love makes us do crazy things. But thankfully he's receptive to the idea that he should give her an ultimatum. Smart of Ramsey to do it one step at a time because people can behave like star crossed lovers when you try to separate them.

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

She saw him as a bailout and a retirement plan...end this relationship yesterday!

[@TheFluffyWendigo]

One of my immediate “I don’t care how hot you are” red flags is expecting me to pay your debts. Your debts aren’t my problem period

[@anthonywaldrep5982]

She's setting him up for financial abuse if he doesn't realize it now. She's wilfully underemployed with $100,000 in debt

[@Dn1sdr]

I just want to point out if this were a woman calling about her boyfriend who had $100,000 in debt in a worthless career field and wasn't working Dave's advice wouldn't be lovingly help him Dave's advice would be kick him to the curb now! And truthfully that ought to be the advice he's giving this young man for this lady. There's only one correct response here that's cut your losses and move on.

[@TheBryanmauro]

Exactly...Dave is such beta for females it kills me.

[@f.-j.j.5738]

My thoughts are that women are his base audience that he doesn't wanna upset. I sure hope he called the caller off air and told him to run like there's no tomorrow...

Dump her, and dump her fast. You are setting yourself up for a life of misery if you stay with this woman. Just my opinion.

Message to Alex: Run! Her debt will become yours if you marry her!

[@Atlas60308]

My gf is 40k in student loan debt, I have none. We agreed that if we get married, the debt is still hers, not mine. If I'm the one paying the bills but she still works, she can pay off her own loans

[@burntblonde2925]

She should already be self motivated to pay off her debt. Especially, if he is paying all the other bills.

[@swampcrawlerls1267]

I agree with nearly every comment in the comment section. Doesnt happen often.

[@TheSafetyMarshalPSF]

They have been together for four years and he doesn't know if she is lazy. That says it all. At that age you need to make sensible decisions. This guy has made a lot of good choices. She has not. Private Arts degrees were for women that come from families that could afford tuition. If she won't get off the couch now she won't when they have kids lol

[@LittleHatori]

Agreed. I think it is possible for the gf to wake up & turn this around and get motivated tho! Tons of ppl who have paid off debt just needed a "wake up call" and feel hopeful again! If anything, the bf is trying to help her, and if she cant see how much he loves her from that, then the bf should 👀🚶‍♂️

[@janetmcdaniel1112]

@@nadia4999 and u don't need a degree to sell or make art. As time went on n the relationship she prob had something up her sleeve.

[@nadia4999]

@Janet. Honestly, I am not mad at this female. She is doing nothing less than what countless women before her have done. This is a silent yet known thing deep among Caucasian women, and the men know it too. But it sounds like these men are getting tired of this old concept, lol. Frankly, after 4 years he should know if he wants to marry her or let her go, because she will not willingly let her white knight ride off without her. To a woman, 4 years is a long time, and no woman willingly lets a financially stable guy go if he isn’t hitting her up side her head every other day.

[@chedengg]

That's golden advice. Thanks Dave!

[@olefilesedumedi2367]

This is exactly what Coach Greg Adams has been saying, precise man.

Art degree? You don't even need a degree to make/sell art.

That's a great answer!!!!

[@oneeyedman99]

For somebody who has been dating for four years, he doesn't seem to know her all that well.

[@lindsey9728]

I've been where she is. My boyfriend of a few years did say these things to me and when I had to start over and get an entry level job, his support was wonderful. Took me a out 2 years to pay off my debt while taking over my financial responsibilities. We're still together and happy.

[@johnnastrom9400]

Great. You'e the exception to the rule.

[@TheRedExpedition]

Thank you for adding some positivity to the comments. I don't agree with everyone saying he should leave, but I was this man who not only dated, but married someone in the same struggle as this woman. Unfortunately, my situation didn't have the happy ending. However, I hope your situation strengthened the bond between you and your boyfriend and that you have a long future together.

[@anitaknight3915]

@@TheRedExpedition What happened in your situation, did you help pay off her debts and end up divorced? Sorry you went through whatever you did. Sometimes people go through hard times and need support from their significant other, but they need to be contributing and working toward a plan to get out of debt. There's always exceptions to the rule but this callers gf doesn't sound responsible.

[@hymnodyhands]

Good for you!

[@robedmund9948]

Dude needs to add the 24th letter of the alphabet to his girlfriend's description. Nothing she can do is worth taking on THAT much debt.

[@rbraxton00]

If she was upset about it, she would figure out a plan to do something. It happens, that’s what most people do.

[@ahastar1141]

She isnt really upset. She is upset that he hasnt " saved" her from it yet. She is hoping for a ring and a piece of his inheritance to solve her problems

[@pcs.8304]

She does have a plan....it is called find a “sugar daddy”.

[@familybroich3073]

Do you think she would pay your 100k debt while your unemployed? Absolutely not 😂🤷‍♀️ she would call you a bum. She’s taking advantage of you. Move on. It’s going to be more emotional for you when you pay that debt and then she leaves you.

[@NickPeitsch]

You’re going to be her best return on investment she’s ever seen man. Don’t do it

[@Ces999919822]

As many others have said, this dude needs to run far and fast. It’s her debt, and not his bridge to cross. I would have ran the second I heard 100k of loans for an art degree.

Well...i wouldve waited to hear the plan on how to pay it off...and how far has the plan came
