I Proposed to My Girlfriend, Now She Wants to Be a Stay-at-Home Fiancée – Am I Marrying a Gold Digger?
A young couple discovered they had vastly different paychecks while working at the same company before getting engaged. After the engagement, the young woman wanted to quit her job, leading social media users to believe she was a gold-digger, but her fiancé says that’s not the case.

The original poster (OP) was utterly smitten by the 26-year-old, and he asked her out. Their relationship has been excellent so far, and what he loves about the woman who works in marketing is that she’s very organized. The woman’s job involved her working on marketing events and planning, and she iss good at it, making him proud of her.

However, her work sometimes required her to work long hours, while his office desk job hours were more predictable, and he generally didn’t work late. His fiancée complained often about how easy he had it while she had to drive around to get things done.

OP’s partner moved in with him at one point, and that was the first time they discussed finances. Circumstances led to him having a good compensation package, and while she knew he was financially stable, she was shocked when she learned how much he made.

He was surprised when he discovered he makes 15 times more than her! OP offered to pay for everything related to staying together and said she could focus on saving to pay her student debt, which she’d paused at the time.

The Reddit user owns their apartment, but his fiancée, who, at the time, was his girlfriend, still wanted to contribute something, so they split their expenses proportionately to what each person earned. The arrangement worked well for OP’s partner as she is a self-sufficient and independent woman.
