The Situation

"She wants me to support her financially but doesn't work"

The Brutal Truth

She wants you to be her financial support without putting in any effort herself. It's a red flag indicating a potential pattern of dependency and lack of responsibility. This isn't about partnership; it's about selfishness.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might immediately agree to support her financially, fearing rejection or conflict. This is wrong because it fosters dependency and neglects healthy boundaries. Instead of compromising your values, it's essential to prioritize your self-worth.
