A young couple discovered they had vastly different paychecks while working at the same company before getting engaged. After their engagement, the woman wanted to quit her job, leading social media users to label her a gold-digger, but her fiancé disagreed.
Reaching out to the AITAH subreddit, a 30-year-old man explained his dilemma. He, a researcher, met his fiancée, a marketing specialist, at work. They soon discovered he made 15 times more than her. He offered to cover their expenses so she could save for her student debt.
A month before his Reddit post, OP got engaged. His fiancée requested a $15,000 diamond ring and revealed plans to quit her job to plan their wedding, causing a heated argument. OP wanted her to stay independent, but she felt overwhelmed by her job. Reddit users advised caution, with some suggesting a prenup. Ultimately, they agreed she’d look for a new job after the wedding.
