I'm just saying that it's a very very common goal or expectation for young people graduating high school / entering college. They expect to make a lot of money, buy a big house and have a fun, glamorous lifestyle going out with friends. Because they don't have experience, they expect it to all just sort of work out that way. Their older partner will be a lot more modest and realistic about things like that and may seem like a bit of a loser in comparison. He seems bitter and unambitious because he knows many of his optimistic younger partner's dreams are unrealistic.

Yeah you got it. From the outside it seems abit like the older partner is taking advantage but actually from the inside it's the other way around imo. The younger partner gains the value of experience, maturity, support, maybe even financial, etc, before growing and moving onto someone new. The older partner is searching for something stable and long-term: he shows the younger one a good time for a few years then gets left alone, a bit poorer, more jaded, and older.
