Finances between couples in the early days can always be kind of awkward. This particular situation however raised some alarm bells in OP's head when her boyfriend of a year refused to tell her how much he makes.

Now this wouldn't have been such a red flag had he not asked her the same question first only to refuse to answer it himself.

She respected his lack of answer but couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.

She wondered why he wouldn't say when he had been unemployed when he met.

Before the update, commenters were just as thrown by his behavior as she was. They speculated that a large difference in their pay scales could have led to this reaction.
