Broke Man Demands Breadwinner Fiancée Add His Name to Home Ownership, She Refuses, Causing Tension in the Relationship

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Finances are a crucial part of a romantic relationship. When you're getting married and buying a home, the couple needs to talk about the financial situation beforehand. Is the couple getting a joint bank account? Are both parties going to sign for renting a place, or buying a home? No one wants to be taken advantage of in the case of something unfortunate and unexpected happening, but both parties also have to make the decision that's right for them to make.

In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman engaged to a slightly younger man. They have a 6 year age gap, and due to their age differences (among other things) she makes much more than he does. She's worked her way up, and she already pays for everything they share. Now that they're getting married, she wants to sign for the home and mortgage on her own. Feeling emasculated, he insists that she also include him in the signature, but she fears he's not financially responsible yet.
