    OP: do you really know that he is who he says he is? Do you really know that he has this wonderful job/career etc? It is not unknown for someone who does have nothing to wing his way with a falsely acquired credit card?

    I'm sorry - but this is my instinctive reaction to your first post! It may be that he IS Mr Wonderful - but he isn't going the right way to show you that he cares about you - its more about showing you just how wonderful he is!

    I think you need to see him as him. Try put the wealth to one side.

    Presumably he pays tax, so that brings it down quite a bit :)

    The money is irrelevant, really.
    What counts is how comfortable you are when you're together, because that's priceless.
