My fiancee

r/

TL;DR
My finance is putting too much of financial stress and I can’t handle it.

Me M24 and my fiance F25 been together for a year
We recently got engaged, I’m very focused on
creating family, I got my own apartment as the inheritance from my grandpa, I lived abroad for whole my life and recently moved back to my motherland, I work remotely and my pay is semi decent, its decent apartment, it’s quite small but it got everything one would need, kitchen living room and one bedroom with balcony but it does need bit of patching upp just to remordenize it , recently I bought new citchen and some forniture electronics, etc.
I also bought quite expensive wedding ring, took her on trip to Greece and proposed there so I spend some hefty amount on traveling as well. We agreed to have wedding later on next year but that we would just sign marriage documents until then and live together, I’m very excited about this whole process, but now she demands me to renovate whole house, she wants me to start by buying wardrobe and make up table with the tv Bech all together, then start by renovating house, it’s a process that would take months but she wants me to do it straight away, I still have to buy wedding rings for the ceremony to wear them before the actual wedding that is also very expensive, I just don’t have the facilities to do that straight away, mind you I’m just 24 years old and my first time living alone, when I brought this up we had an argument, I had very stressful night and we had conversation in the morning when she was heading to her job, I had no night sleep and I asked her to chill out with the planning just this morning because I was feeling very tired and irritated, but still she was pushing about me paying for her needs or else she would not be moving in, I explained that she would get everything over time, but she started throwing hurtful words that I would probably never do anything for her and complain about everything being expensive, which I never do, I really do try to give her everything and never spare any money on her, heck I even borrow money from my parents so that she won’t have to miss out on anything while being with me. Her words are affecting me and hurting me very deeply and last straw was when she said, ” if you don’t have the ass to pay for these things why do I rush into marriage” these words stuck to me, I always saw marriage as the partner thing looking at my own parents, how they were doing stuff together, so I thought that I could have that way as well but maybe I was wrong, is she telling me the right thing or I’m I thinking the right way, but all I know that it’s really stressing me out.

    She’s not the person you want to marry……

    First, you got engaged too soon. Now you’re finding out her true colours.

    Second, you shouldn’t have to borrow money to maintain her lifestyle. That’s financially irresponsible on your part.

    Third, you are looking for a partner and she’s looking for someone to take care of her. You’re not on the same page at all. Your outlook is not wrong, marriage is a partnership.

    The person you’ve chosen is what’s wrong. Luckily, you know now before it’s too hard to disentangle yourself.

    Don’t marry her. She loves what you can buy for her more than she loves you.

    How would you like 60 more years of her constantly demanding houses, money & stuff? No? You know what you need to do.

    Nope – she’s seems very immature and materialistic. Take a step back and reevaluate your situation. Marriage with that type of woman is a huge mistake. There’s many red flags with her.

    She is not Ms Right. I know Reddit often goes to “Break up” but this is a classic case of you have not chosen the right woman for you. Give yourself time to look around, you’re still very young!

    Sorry, but it seems like she loves your finances more than she loves you. There is a saying: “With the one you love, even a hut is paradise.” But this saying is complete nonsense. No, the financial component in a relationship is very important, but not that important. You are not turning her down, you are just asking her to wait. Maybe she has such a character, maybe she has such needs, but, damn it, does she really love you?

    Maybe sit down with her and set a shared budget together see if she’s willing to work with you, not just expect things from you.
