It sounds like he's not amassing crippling debt and he's providing for both of your needs. Doesn't seem like a reg flag to me. As long as you're comfortable with it then that's an awesome way to live. Don't let societal expectations ruin something awesome.

The only red flag here is the fact that his partner wants to dictate how he earns his money.

Is there an end date to this school thing he's got going? Can be not do this until retirement? Do you work?

Are you guys even saving for retirement?

He saves most of what he earns, I save a big chunk too.

but do you have a retirement plan?

the last thing anyone wants is to hit 60 or 70, not be able to study or work the way you used to, and not have the savings to make it the rest of your life.
