He is bad news, and she should’ve left him a whole lot sooner. You cannot predict how a relationship will shake out. Who among us hasn’t looked back at the beginning of our relationships and thought, «If only I knew then what I know now? If so, I would’ve never gotten in that relationship.» There …

Inheritance should not be spent by someone for whom it wasn’t intended. Many people feel entitled to their family members’ money.

41-year-old unemployed boyfriend tells 25-year-old girlfriend who works 3 jobs he doesn’t ever want to be an employee again: ‘His mother covers all his living expenses.’

He literally brings nothing to the table, and yet he’s still eating. Nothing makes you less tolerant of lazy adults than being responsible for supporting one. If you wake up at 6 AM every day, drive an hour to work and back, and spend your whole day working hard, there’s a good chance you’ll feel …

Man’s grandfather has medical emergency and he informs his girlfriend, only for her to complain about his family members’ failure to reach out to her too: ‘She seems more concerned about the optics of her concern’

Medical emergencies are sprung on us at any given moment, even when we feel the least ready for them. That’s why it’s important to surround yourself with supportive people who know exactly how to help be a pillar of strength when you’re going through tough times. Usually, that person is a romantic partner/signficant other. If …

25-year-old boyfriend refuses to pay 22-year-old girlfriend’s $70K per year college tuition, turns her nose up at his offer of $20K per year: ‘She says I’m being unsupportive’

Boyfriend of 10 months asks girlfriend to lend him $7K from her 401K despite not paying her back the $250 she already lent him: ‘The first loan was a test’

He can’t even pay back $250. What makes her think she should lend him thousands of dollars? Asking for money early in a relationship is a huge red flag. If someone you’ve been dating for less than a year relies on you for financial support, they might be after your money more than they’re after …

31-year-old girlfriend making $100K expects boyfriend to pay her $40K in credit card debt, $60K in car loans, and $20K in student loans: ‘You’ll take care of my debt.’

She’s going to spend her boyfriend out of house and home. There’s a significant stigma surrounding marrying someone for money, but I believe that one can’t marry someone without first considering their financial situation. It matters much less how much someone takes home at the end of a pay period than how they manage that …

26-year-old girlfriend forbids boyfriend from accepting a job that’d double his income to $60K because she doesn’t want him working on weekends: ‘We have lived together for 8 years and she said we are done if I accept this job’
