I'm 26, earning a high salary that puts me in a completely different financial bracket than my fiancée, who’s 24. We’ve been together for three years and engaged for a few months, but her constant financial demands are really testing my limits.
A few days ago, her cousin had a medical emergency and needed a large sum for hospital bills. It was a significant amount, one I couldn’t ignore.
I told my fiancée that I simply couldn’t pay it. She went off on me, calling me selfish and saying if I truly loved her, I’d help her family. Her mom even sent me a text saying I was wrong for not stepping up.
And it didn’t end there. Just a few days later, her uncle, who I’ve never even met, reached out and asked me for a 'loan' to fund a business idea.
He made it sound urgent, and of course, my fiancée was right there, nodding like it was no big deal. I said no, and once again, my fiancée guilt-tripped me, saying, “This is how my family survives, why can’t you just help?
It’s a pattern now, whether it’s paying for vacations, covering hospital bills, or funding 'business ventures,' I’m always expected to foot the bill. I’m starting to feel like I’m just a walking ATM, not a partner.
TL;DR: My fiancée, who comes from a lower-income background, expects me to cover her family's bills and emergencies, even though I make a lot more. After her uncle asked for a 'loan,' I’m wondering if this is getting out of hand?
