When you’re going through a breakup, everything can get messy. Your emotions get all mixed up, and you don’t know up from down. It’s hard to make decisions clearly, given the amount of emotional distress you’re in. This is why we should avoid rash decisions in these states. Sending money is one of them. 

Questions of money are always bound to come up in relationships. You’re sharing a life together, so it’s only natural that you would share expenses. Each couple has its own way of divvying this up. Maybe you take turns paying for meals. Maybe you have a shared account. Maybe one of you takes on more of the financial burden because you make more money and don’t mind spending it on shared expenditures. Either way, you’d better have a good system, because if the relationship ends, you might rethink everything. Especially money that you «lent» or «borrowed.» Without a contract, these types of agreements are very hard to keep track of. And when emotions get involved, everything has a way of getting buried. That’s what happened in this story.
