We have been dating for 6 years, I have been supporting her throughout her studies ever since I got a job 4 years ago, and finally she graduated last year, and got a job in another country, and she is earning more than me now.
Today we had a conversation about money, family, and commitments. She basically told me that her money is hers alone to use, and I, being the guy, am supposed to pay for everything related to the family, including her allowance and expenses. Her argument is that her mum told her that a guy can easily cheat on the girl, leaving the girl with nothing, so she has to have her savings as a backup plan. She also told me giving birth is a big enough sacrifice, so I should be the one supporting the child.
Is it normal for a girl's expectation to be like this? I'm really confused and I don't know if I can handle supporting a family alone. This is really stressing me out. I mean, I don't mind being the sole breadwinner, but I probably need to earn 3x of what I do now to give my future child a good life.
We have gone through a lot together, and we are a pretty happy couple. We rarely argue and always communicate with each other well, even though most of our relationship are long distance. We really enjoy each others company. But after what I learnt today, I don't know what I should do.
there doesn't seem to be anything here
