It would be concerning to me re his financial situation (unless maybe he recently bought huge property or something) . It’s neither here nor there but I’d be very careful that he isn’t taking financial advantage of you. I am not saying he needs to support you. Of course not. But I’d be worried that he relies a lot on your financial contribution. I’d be worried he isn’t going to a concert because he can’t afford it without you paying for it. I sure hope you are not helping him with bills/supporting him. Especially now when you are making more money and since you supported men before. Just be very careful.

Yes, I totally understand the concerns, especially after my ex fiance debacle.
He is financially responsible & earns almost as much as me. He pays the rent and all his bills. He works on 100% commission in his job, and his team hasn't earned the usual $2,000 bonus for the last month, which has hurt him, so money has been tighter for him. He just got a call from Ferrari though to be a service advisor for them, so he could receive a HUGE bump in pay. He would be earning far more than me and can carry a lot of our extracurricular expenses. Just right now, he has just enough for rent and bills, food, etc and some entertainment.
He isn't taking advantage of me.... he pays for a lot of our outings, concerts, hotel expenses and dinners out, etc. I would say it's about equal between us, sharing the expenses.
