Did he not buy anything in his life? Who’d buy him stuff if he didn’t meet you? Would he manage it somehow? How do single people live?
Did he disclose his financial situation, lack of income and savings and his inability to purchase even the basic things-very bad credit or no credit? Why do you need to go into debt buying those items instead of him, he could borrow for a couch and pillows.

His formerly wealthy parents supported him financially until he was 32 years old. Then his ex wife supported him financially and bought everything for him. He works on commission only, so his checks are not steady and go up and down according to business level. He can only just make ends meet and has no extra funds, unless he earns his bonus, which helps tremendously each month.
When we first met, he was better off financially-- then, after we were engaged 7-8 months later, he had to change jobs and start all over again building up clientele.
He behaves like a spoiled brat and expects me to take care of him financially because everyone else has. I am losing patience. I cannot get ahead financially because of him.
He cannot buy a couch on credit. It has to be MY credit, MY purchase, and therefore MY debt. The couch we would need to get - that would suit a bad back - no working adult of the middle class could afford. It probably will cost between $2000-$3000!
I already have an expensive bed purchased on my credit, and a bank loan on my credit and in my name that he owes $1800 on.
All of this I found out later on in our relationship -- it wasn't all revealed in the beginning.
