I don't need his money.
But, if you're with someone who makes significantly less, then you'll have to carry the weight or have to meet halfway and downgrade your living situation based on what you BOTH can afford.
I'm not trying to upgrade on someone else's money, but I don't want someone to have to rely on mine either.
That really doesn't make sense to be honest, why would you have to carry more weight?
The only way your point has any legs is if your goal is to live far above your own means
