Boyfriend Refuses Marriage Over Finances
My boyfriend (m29) refuses to marry me (f27) due to the gap in our finances Some context my boyfriend makes a massive amount more than me pre tax iirc he makes twice my monthly salary every day. So recently I brought up getting married and he said that he doesn’t want to ever get married to me cause that’s a shitty financial decision to enter into a legal contract with someone who gets payed for breaking it. He brought up the fact that I still have almost a 100k in student loans that he would get half off if we divorced. I suggested a prenup so that he would have some sort of reassurance but he told me those get thrown out all the time and said that if marriage was something I was looking for I should either find another guy or get into the same financial situation as him. So how do I proceed?
A Reddit relationship-advice post describes a 27-year-old woman whose wealthier 29-year-old boyfriend refuses to marry her because of their financial differences and her student debt. He argues that marriage would be a risky legal contract and could expose him to her debts, while she suggests a prenup. The joke and awkward premise come from treating marriage entirely as a financial liability and telling her to either find another partner or become equally wealthy; people send this as a reaction to extreme relationship pragmatism and financial red flags.
