Good luck finding your rich dumb poor sucker. Again working in a respectable profession 3-4 days a week as work permits and contributing around the house are not negatives....

While you ladies expect men to provide for you with showers of monetary gifts, complete emotional understanding, utter pampering, and whatever other BS expectations you can throw in there.

Ya know what? The OP sounds like she just may jealous of this guy. She seems to be particularly envious that the BF may be paying rent in "services rendered." What else could explain this bizarre post?

If you have to ask the question, then yes.

Is he cheating on her? Using her money to buy drugs? Just trying for a green card? If not - I don't really see how she is being used. Why is it ridiculous? I don't see what things she is overlooking? Are they happy? Does this work for them? What else matters?

Really.

And all this time I was thinking it was your situation you were asking us about, not a friend who "threw it at you."

I get where you are coming from and believe you are well intentioned

I too would worry about a friend, male or female, who appeared to be so afraid to be alone that they volunteered to be financially used. And it does appear that might be what is happening here.

Since your friend has outright asked for your opinion that means to me she is having her own doubts about the relationship. I'd recommend being honest about what you see but careful not to tell her what to do about it (doing so could very well backfire on you).

your a typical caddy woman, you really need to mind your own business. If she was really your friend you wouldn't come on a message board trying to justify c blocking her situation.

I used to care about stuff like this with people in my life but I've learned the hard way to choose my stresses more wisely. I'm sleeping so much better now.

In a robust economy, I'd say it's their business and their choice. I certainly couldn't do it when I was married while he futzed around deciding what he wanted to be when he grew up and taking part-time jobs so he could take elective after elective without ever actually finishing his undergrad.

But now? It's still their business, and it might still be their choice. But it might not be a choice, either, as a lot of people can't find work in their fields these days.

Either way, it's not for anyone else to judge but them.
