“I'm financially Handcuffed to my partner”

You wrote, I feel handcuffed into funding his rich life with my wallet. Tell me about that.

I do make more than Mac right at the moment. I do think that there's an element of like, without me, it's not possible. Like everything is kind of reliant on me to be successful and not necessarily us to be successful. You use the word handcuffed. Handcuffed in the sense that we're in this together, but you kind of are the only one carrying the load as far as— You're the only one. As far as the fun parts of life. Yes.

When I first read that line, I was pretty offended. It feels very much like the whole of me is at net burden. It's hard for me to not internalize that even more of like, wow, like I really am a problem.
