I've been with my boyfriend for a very long time, & throughout this time, I haven't worked very much at all. My granparents left my sister,brother, & myself a nice inheritance & I've been living comfortably for some time, & probably will be for a good while. I put in my fair share 100%. My boyfriend never gets stuck picking up my slack cause I always have it taken care of. However, he says that I have no values cause of this & I don't put in anything cause it's never coming from me. What do you think?

That's not fair. He's probably just frustrated from having to work and seeing you not working. Are you putting in the effort? Aka... not sitting around all day doing nothing but watching television. If you are still working hard but not being paid than he's definately not being fair. If, however, the situation was reversed and it would upset you how little work he does, then maybe an unnecessary part time job or constructive habit is the answer. Still, it doesn't mean you have no values. This obviously upset you so you're obviously a person who cares about him. Good luck.

Dear, as long as you STILL contribute and always take care to pay your part of the 'deal', then there is no reason for your boyfriend to complain. You're bascially fulfilling your duty and there's no need for anything else. He should know that.
What he is ACTUALLY complaining about is the fact that in the absence of work or a stable occupation for you, you seem like you lack ideals and values. And he might be right here. Even though you have the money, that's not what work is all about.

I think he envies your position and maybe is even jealous. If you work around the house and take care of things I don't see what he has to complain about. My significant other didn't work while the kids were young, and didn't have any money to contribute but she did her part, and I have never thought the way your guy does.

Sounds like your man is jealous. I think if you don't have to work to make a living more power to you. I'm sure he thinks you don't know the value of hard work but tell him if he isn't satisfied he can move on and say it while you're wearing a sexy teddy...

i think your boyfriend is wrong, as long as you appreciate the things you have and you spend it wisely. it wouldn't hurt to invest some money into making money your self.then he couldn't say that....
