She Inherited Millions, But She’s On The Fence About Keeping This A Secret From Her Boyfriend

This 24-year-old girl has been dating her 27-year-old boyfriend for the last three years. She currently has a job as an engineer, while also working as a freelance patent law agent.
She’s always struggled to make ends meet, and her boyfriend is aware of her financial situation. Her boyfriend works for a biopharma company as a pharmacist.
“But, what he doesn’t know is I recently inherited a large sum of assets and insurance payout, making me a multi-millionaire,” she explained.
“This happened last year. I wasn’t sure if it was legit so I didn’t tell anyone except my mom. My dad doesn’t even know.”
“The inheritance came from my mom’s aunt, who, for some reason, skipped my mom and had everything sent to me.”
She guesses her aunt left everything to her since her mom and dad are in the middle of a divorce, and if her mom had inherited the money, she would have to tell her dad about it.
Her mom knows she was named the benefactor of her aunt’s will, and her mom made her promise not to tell her boyfriend about the money.
While her mom doesn’t have a problem with her boyfriend, her mom is concerned that her boyfriend might get her pregnant or propose to her in order to gain access to her inheritance.
Now, her boyfriend doesn’t see any point in marriage and has revealed he doesn’t want to get married to her or have kids with her.

Along with claiming he never wants to tie the knot, her boyfriend has brought up in the past his feelings on prenups and how he would never sign one since he thinks they’re morally wrong.
She’s not sure how she feels about the kids thing, but she’s fine skipping out on getting married after watching her mom and dad’s toxic relationship deteriorate.
Her mom suggested that she make a will stating her siblings would inherit her money in case she unexpectedly passes away, so she took her mom’s advice and did just that.
She’s left wondering if she should ever say something to her boyfriend about the money, and she is worried that if she does, her relationship will head south.
Her mom maintains she shouldn’t breathe a word about her inheritance since she shouldn’t disclose financial information about herself to her boyfriend if they’re never going to get married.
“I feel like it’s weird not to, considering we plan on living together,” she said. “I know exactly how much is in his bank accounts.”
“He’s been honest, stating that he doesn’t want to get married, but he wants to be transparent with me about everything and even plans on putting me as the recipient of his house.”
She insisted her boyfriend should leave his house to his family and not her, but her boyfriend replied that his family won’t be caring for the home or living there, whereas she presumably will be at some point in time.
She feels bad not being honest with her boyfriend about how much cash she’s sitting on. Do you think she should tell him or keep the money a secret?
