Two years ago, he met a woman (actually, re-met) in his field, and they've been dating. She's about 15 years younger than he, so doesn't make as much. As for physically, she's not exactly thin or even middle of the road, and it's not a case of "but she's got a pretty face", either.
I've met her three times, along with my guy & our friends. During these times, she's made several references to how much younger she is to Dave, has ordered for him in restaurants, and generally ignores the women after "hello". I figured, okay, if Dave's happy... I've yet to hear the Love word, but have heard way too much about their sex life. The guys have seen more of her (she doesn't live in the same city) than the women (wives & such).
Then I heard that she's been making him work out as long as an hour on a treadmill, that she cut up all of his credit cards but one within the first 4 dates, and has him putting money into a savings account - with both of their names on it. Meanwhile, he called me screaming once, because my guy owed him $5 (which he was going to/did pay back the next night)!
What do the wise people of GreekChat think? It's not like Dave's going to do anything about what others say, but obviously, I have my doubts about this woman.

Ok...the workout thing, yeah well we won't have to say much about that but it's still something that HE has to want to do.
As far as a joint saving account...NAH!
You pointed out that she doesn't make as much BUT if something happens with the relationship guess who has claim to some of that pot? HER!
As the others said...stay out of it because I can tell you no matter how you look at it, this won't end well.
From what you said, there are some positives and some negatives but just don't interfere.
