I’ve been with my boyfriend for 5 months. He’s wonderful and I’m very much in love with him. He treats me so well, prioritises my comfort and wellbeing and tells me often that he loves me. He’s proud of me and encourages me to pursue work and education opportunities. Despite me telling him I had no real interest in Valentine’s Day, he planned an amazing day for me. I’ve never been in such a good relationship. Not only is he a wonderful partner, but so am I. Thanks to FDS, I have boundaries, I make my expectations clear and never accept less than what I deserve. He knows I want marriage and children. I’m mid 30s so I don’t want to wait 5+ years for these things. So... My only real hesitation with this relationship at the stage is, he doesn’t earn very much money. I don’t know his exact wage but I’m guessing it’s about half of mine. He’s never really prioritised his financial stability. We haven’t had an explicit conversation about money but from a few things he has mentioned, I don’t think he has savings. Lately he has started applying for other jobs and has told me that he wants to be able to support me and any future children, which he can’t do if he stays in his current job. How long should I wait for him to demonstrate that he can provide financial security?
