My friend is moving with her partner for his job. She has already found a job there, but he will be earning a lot more. They plan to use her wage for living costs and his for luxuries/savings. I've advised her to make sure she has equal access to the savings in event of a split. She says she doesn't need to because she trusts him to be fair. AIBU to think she's being incredibly naive?

A fool and their money.....

She's being foolish to be in a relationship with him let alone to do that.

I didn't tell her she was a fuckwit, I told her to be careful that she didn't end up with nothing if the worst happened and they broke up. I told her I was sure they wouldn't, but to protect herself in case they did.

another and what would your response be if someone gave you unsolicited advice.

You just have to let people get on with it unfortunately.

She's a moron. I'd send her this thread. Then tell her to give you a call when it all fucks up.

If the advice was from a friend and I thought it was intended for my own best interests based on their experience then I'd like to think I'd consider it.

And maybe she is. They don't have any children so that's one blessing if it does go tits up.
