Do you think there is anything wrong with a relationship that involves a guy, who is not the money maker in the relationship. The sole breadwinner is the girlfriend. Boyfriend only works part-time. They stay together in her house(not his). This situation has been going on about 2 years. I means it's obvious who's footing the biil for bills.....Guy pays no rent(he may contribute to one bill and thats it....) He's probably contributing in other ways.....(if you get my drift)...I mean I know if you love each other you'll overlook a few things here and there...but cmon on this is ridiculous.....

Too little info. Is the guy working part-time b/c he cant get anything else? How much is he making part-time?
I dont see the problem. This is 2011, men and women are EQUALS!!! Now do me a favor and swap the genders in the initial post and tell me if you wouldnt think this thread was silly. Just saying...if that is their arrangement then so be it. Getting fed up with this nonsensical Double standards...

There doesn't seem to anything "wrong" with the relationship - they've been at it two years and it seems to be working for them.
Now, you could argue that maybe there is something wrong with the woman who would chose to live this way, but this is still America and her choices are hers to make.

You're right....My point exactly....Why would you choose to live this way.?
Haven't you been reading the news lately? Women are making as much or more then men are now a days. There are more women going to college then men. Women are getting the same jobs as men were; those specific jobs that only men were able to do before. Women are asked to join a group of men at work to tip the scales a little. Having at least two to three of each gender in a group has been proven to help the group work better, rather then a group full of one gender.
The roles haven't switched, but men are slowly becoming the "stay at home mom", while the women are becoming the "bringer of bacon".

You just don't understand the currency in her world
She obviously feels as though something about this man and relationship is paying off big time for her.
Whether we agree about that or not is irrelevant - it's her life to live, enjoy or ruin.
