Closing in on my 6 month milestone of my relationship, and I'm getting to the point where I am started to think ahead. I'm the older in the relationship, therefore someone who wants to potentially move and start a life elsewhere. I'm about to turn 26, yeah? Getting to the age where I'm starting to settle into an "adult life" (whatever that is).

I have a great job, good education, stable economy... and then there is my partner. We are complete opposites in terms of education and economy, and while there are several reasons for this, I just can't help but to think "what if it doesn't change". I don't want a future where I am the main income, where I am the wallet of the home. My partner is currently in an unpaid internship, one that runs out in three months, and they have yet to actually get their HS diploma (they are turning 21). We are in very different stages of life, and while I afore them... there is a part of me that just has a hard time seeing our future as something stable, money wise.

Let it be known that I don't care what kind of income others have, as long as they are able to make due with what they earn and also manage themselves. Right now I feel like I'm in a pinch, and that I have taken on what feels like the responsibility of a Peter Pan, someone that claims to be grown up but also halfway refuses to actually to do so.

Thoughts? Input? I have a few friends with the typical "DITCH'EM" opinion, hence me seeking some input here. Believe me, I have considered it. I have also considered having a talk with them, but it's hard.
