Susie, I think it's great that your relationship has worked out so well. A good relationship, no matter what the details, is one in a million. That being said, I have never known a man like yours. I've known plenty of guys who "just needed a bit of support to get this done" and I don't think I was wrong for laughing. There was the guy chasing the record deal...at almost 40...among many many other "musicians." There was the guy who "owned his own business marketing domain names" that consisted of him smoking pot while sending rude emails to "clients" for not hiring him, and living off of the occasional carpet cleaning job he managed to scrounge through associates. I was actually somewhat serious with a man who owned his own (failing) business, and he *seemed* to have it all together, except the only reason the business was in the black was due to thousands of dollars of loans (that were never paid back) from the OTHER girl he was dating at the time (aka his "ex" who he "used to" date and thats why her ID was laying around the house...because he was "cleaning"). At the moment I don't have my life together enough to support anyone else - if I were pregnant, or if my mom got sick and asked me to move home, I would find some way to manage, but not for a man I just met. But 10-15 years from now, when I'm older and in a more stable career, I would be hesitant to support anyone...first of all because what a man says he is capable of isn't always true (aka if he's fucked off his own money at age 40 he'll probably fuck mine off too) and also...relationships don't last forever. I would feel like a damn fool supporting someone I loved in order for him to turn around and buy some other bitch flowers. Like my ex's other girlfriend...I've met her, we still talk...I feel horrible for knowing when he bought me shit he was "borrowing" money from her to cover it. I will NOT be in that position. I don't mind helping out through unemployment, but this whole "screw the man I can do better on my own but I still need your support" trick is played the fuck out. And if I miss out on a great man because I didn't have confidence in his schemes then to be honest? It's probably for the best. Because I would strangle him if he tried to invest our retirement fund into something risky - regardless of the outcome. Same reason I won't be a waitress ever again. I would rather live off 50k a year and know it's coming in every year than live off 200k a year if his plan works and 10k if it doesn't. Instability is not my cup of tea.
