Depends on what each of you are happy with standard-of-living-wise. I earn significantly more than my student SO, but I prefer the finer things in life and traveling / going out whereas he would be happy living in a closet and staying in every night with me, a bottle of wine and Netflix. That being said, I voluntarily pay more on average, but he always finds some way to compensate for it via his time, making my life easier, being understanding with my schedule, etc. I think if you're wary of someone leveraging your generosity you're either a) going into a relationship with the wrong mindset or b) with the wrong person.
