A young couple discovered their pay disparity at work before getting engaged, leading to online speculation about the fianc\u00e9e\u2019s intentions. The man, a researcher, explained on Reddit that he met his fianc\u00e9e, who worked in marketing, at their company two and a half years ago. Despite their love, he was shocked to learn he earned 15 times her salary.\n
After moving in together, they split expenses proportionately. Upon their engagement, she requested an expensive $15,000 ring, which made him uncomfortable. She later announced plans to quit her job to focus on wedding planning, which he opposed, fearing it was too early in her career. \u201cI laughed, told her that wasn\u2019t a thing,\u201d he said.\n
The fianc\u00e9e argued she was tired of her demanding job and wanted to be a stay-at-home fianc\u00e9e. After a heated discussion, she promised to find a job after their wedding and consider further education. Despite his discomfort, he began to understand her burnout and desire for a balanced life.\n
Reddit users largely criticized the fianc\u00e9e, calling her a \u201cgold-digger\u201d and advising the man to get a prenup. One user warned, \u201cShe\u2019s never going back to work lol.\u201d Others suggested he be cautious and prepare for potential financial pitfalls.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
