Supporting a partner financially

This conversation came up with my boyfriend and I recently, and I've had this conversation with previous boyfriends. Most guys I've dated think it is appropriate to support their partner financially, with no expectations in return, if they can afford to do so.

I am extremely independent and the thought of a guy paying for things such as a car or school loans (for example) unless I am married to them just doesn't seem right.

This is not to say I pass this judgement on to others if they are in this situation, but for me personally, I don't ever want to feel like I *owe* a guy anything, or hear a line in a fight "I paid for your_____________________ (insert whatever here)" (even if they don't really mean it, but you get the picture).

I think about this kind of stuff because I am not in the type of field where I will probably make a great deal of $$$$$, and most guys unfortunately do make a great deal more than me.

What do you all think?
