I Proposed to My Girlfriend, Now She Wants to Be a Stay-at-Home Fiancée…

A 30-year-old man shared on Reddit that he was struggling with a big decision

after his 26-year-old fiancée announced she planned to quit her job just

a month after their engagement. The couple met at work—he’s a well-paid

tech researcher, and she worked in marketing. They had always gotten

along well, and he admired her organization skills, especially since he

struggles with ADD. They only discussed finances after moving in together,

when she discovered he earns 15 times more than she does. Though shocked,

they agreed to split expenses proportionally. Everything seemed fine—until

she requested a $15,000 engagement ring, which she often bragged about.

Then came the surprise: she wanted to quit her job to focus on planning

their wedding, saying she was burned out and tired of long hours. He was stunned,

especially since they weren’t planning on having kids soon and she still

had student loans. He offered a short break but encouraged her to stay

independent in case life threw them curveballs. The conversation turned into

a big argument. She felt he was being unsupportive, while he felt she was

abandoning her career too soon. Social media users quickly jumped in, labeling her

a gold-digger and urging him to get a prenup. Later, OP updated that they

had a calm talk over dinner. She admitted feeling her low salary made her

contributions meaningless and confessed to burnout. She promised to look

for a less demanding job after the wedding or even return to school.

He agreed to her compromise, though he still understood why others questioned her motives.

In the end, he decided to trust her—but many Redditors warned him to

protect himself legally, fearing she may never return to work.
