<prompt> Human: I am currently in my mid 20s. I have...edited out financial infoI have a gf with very traditional parents. She is in med school, and her parents do not want her dating anyone not in med school or currently not a doctor. The only way he would allow it, is if I joined med school which is out of the question for me. Ive spoken to the dad once and he seems mentally abusive to her. Since she is financially dependent on her father, I am stuck as to what I should do. While I do plan on supporting her while in med school, I am unable to do so at this moment. My question is as follows, While I am financially stable, is there any way for her to suddenly start getting loans, with my unofficial support? I also would be forgoing getting a homecondo in that situation. I am too scared to put my name on any loans due to horror stories Ive heard here, amongst friends, and also shitty court room tv. I know many people have gone through a lot worse, but any experiences and advice would be appreciated.edit:Thanks everyone for your information. Ive spoken to her about information Ive gathered here, my parents, and other people I trust. It seems that we will move forward together. There is no reason to rush finances, and I will go about my financial plan, and helping her as much as I can without being legally bound to anything. It will most likely be hard and we may have to endure, but as the saying goes if everyone brought their problems to a common well, most would be happy to take their own back. or something like that, Im an engineer, not a philosopher.  <response>: Its a trap!
