You are correct. However, I am at a point in my career where hard work and dedication (money mayweather anyone?) now will pay dividends in our future. I want to be successful and like all successful individuals I need to work hard to achieve the goals I have set for myself. I understand that this is difficult and can put a strain on our relationship, however, I need your support during this time as it is difficult for me as well. Also, of course we can go on that trip to anywhere in the world for two weeks and fly first class and stay at baller ass hotels. We deserve it and this is the benefit of my job. ✌🏻

Difference is they'll be 75 and still doing 8 hours a day behind some desk; likely working for someone who lives with their parents. You'll be at your beach house.

My GF and I are dating for 2.5 yrs , She met an office colleague (he has a GF) recently who she initiated a friendship with. I feel that they interact a lot and I'm a little worried of her getting too close to him. A day ago she asked him for lunch and they were out for almost 4-5 hrs. When I expressed how I felt she keeps saying there's nothing going on. I feel that when start to get emotionally close to some other guy than SO then it's not a good sign in relationship. Am I overthinking? contd.

Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?
