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.
