It depends on the context. On a government form, for instance, money is usually considered direct support. Psychological help might be direct or indirect - again, depending on the context.

The context is based from wife - husband relation or in marriage relationship. So any clue?

It's impossible to say. Who said it? What were the surrounding sentences?

In addition to Mike's correction of your uncapitalised "I" in post #1, note that we discourage the use of chatlish/textspeak on this forum. "thx" is not a word. Please write "Thanks".

Not really- they could help each other in many ways and without further context it is unclear what the support is or why it's indirect.

No, sorry. Just use whichever makes more sense to you.

Sorry for late reply. I got the word from here

The person is easily swayed by external circumstances. In the deepest part of the person, the person is not willing to experience loneliness, so his wish will be to follow the opportunities that the world has to offer for him. After marriage, the person will receive indirect help from the spouse, however, this does not guarantee that the marriage will be smooth. This is because when the external fortune is better, there will be chances for encountering people for romantic affairs.

Unless this person has access to context we haven't seen, this is simply someone making things up.
