Is it selfish to get married when you can’t contribute financially?
I’m 22 years old and a full-time university student. I’m studying political science (not very job direct) and want to go to graduate school if I get accepted. I work part-time to pay off some of my tuition and textbook expenses and have also taken a government loan for this; my parents pay for my housing. My boyfriend is 39 years old, kind, warm, self-supporting, and is not a millionaire but has a good income and pays for the dates. He doesn’t mind, but one of his close friends, whom is also his ex-girlfriend, said that it would be selfish of me to marry him and make him share my bills for nothing. My parents also said they stop giving me any financial assistance because they shouldn’t pay when he has money. I feel bad because I like him and trust him; but at the same time I can’t contribute financially yet, I have alot of money to pay off, and I don’t want to be like a golddigger to him.
If he’s offered to help you then accept it gracefully! Don’t be concerned wot his ex says, co’s shes not with him anymore.. You are!! Go for it!!
