Hi FDS friends :)

I’ve seen some questions on here recently about how to apply the FDS philosophy while in a long-term committed relationship. Along this thread, wanted to ask you all a question for some outside perspective.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years. He is a wonderful man and incredibly supportive of me in every way. From the beginning he has prioritized me, respected me, and treated me with the utmost care. However, there are some things I am unsure about. Recently we’ve been talking about buying a house and getting married. Because of his current income level he’s enlisting the support of his family to help us buy a property. They all have said they don’t want me to contribute to a down payment, but rather just help with mortgage payments after it’s purchased. They would be assigning both our names to the title. If it weren’t for his family we wouldn’t be able to afford a place.

In general I should add that they help him out a lot financially in general. I work full time in tech, he’s an artist. Whenever we do things he doesn’t ask me or expect me to pay, but most of the money he spends on us comes from them. Do I have my head up my ass about this? Should I expect that he should be doing this without the help of his family? Ladies help me out here.
