Not trying to blame her, trying to offer my two sense. Every word has a different meaning, they can synonyms, but each word can have different levels of intensity and subtle meanings. A massive flaw in your argument here is that if we shouldn’t be assigning different levels of meaning to words, then we should be able to hate someone if we only dislike them or strongly dislike them. We should be able to say that we love someone in the first few weeks of dating if we are only strongly fond of them. How do you enjoy literature of any kind if you think every synonym and every word has the same level/intensity? Seems to me that you just like to disagree with people.
Slow down, I think as a Swede you could be a little hypocritical here. If you take a look in the telephone directory they’ll quite a lots of Lars Larssons, Nils Nilssons and Sven Svenssons
I eventually told her my opinion about it… Issue is resolved
I’m sure you left out some parts for brevity sake, but it sounds like you’ve talked AT her and not WITH her. You told her your opinion, but did you ask her about her opinion? Did you seek to understand her behavior, her feelings, her thoughts?
Relationships aren’t about being right and being wrong as much as they are seeking to understand each other, learn from each other, and find common ground.
It sounds like she took the time to look at things from your perspective. Did you do the same for her?
And if you did? Good for you! Just didn’t come through in your post??♂️
I'm sure there are may exceptions. Reddit is a good place for this. It isn't personal, just in general. Sometimes it can make you doubt yourself.
No, he will pay it off himself and he has a plan to do so. It's the lying that's the problem much less than the debt.

Am I destined to choose between a partner or a “happy-part-time-life”?
Yes. Your goals aren't compatible. It's not about a happy life but what you both define as requirements for a happy life. They don't agree.
You will have to choose a different partner that is fine with your more low key goals.
Only time will tell if that is possible.
Good for you! I'm glad you do recognize that.
