"Is it okay to expect your partner to fund your dreams?" We often talk about partnerships as a team effort, but what happens when one partner's aspirations require significant financial backing from the other? Is this a sign of true support, or a potential imbalance in the relationship?

When one partner's big dream requires the other's bank account, where do you draw the line?
