Is money a major factor in relationship?

zichuan SG

If this gal im with is 5years, but when we talk about money we always spoil our relationship. Is it good to continue any further?

Bf - studying / family background poor
Gf - working / family background poor

Conculsion : Bf studying work parttime income, gf pay for food, transport for me, end up she like to compare to me the things she always do for me, she want in return i treat her that too. But from income cant help her to topup transport, food. She became angry. Im confused.

shade343 SG

Yes. Without money, you people will always be arguing about it.

zichuan SG

She is so in love with money. I test her with a scenario that if next time we are married, monthly i give u $500. Thats a example, she said not enough.

Partly i guess because she is in a poor family, she got a manternity thinking of escaping the poor feeling, she dont want to be poor.

shade343 SG

Who isnt in love with money? Anyway, since you understand her needs, just work hard and support her. Like that, everybody is happy. You get what you want. She gets what she wants. Very Happy

if she reali treat money more impt then you.. i guess it reali a time to sit down and have a gd talk, she shld understand you are studying and you cant afford the things that she can afford. Tell her.. for the time being.. you reali cant afford those things and if she reali love you, she shld understand.. if not.. i guess.. you know wat to do..

In today's world, everything costs $.

I guess she is tired and sick of keeping track of the $ thingy and the fact that she has to pay for you in some ways. Of course, love shld transcend all barriers and boundaries, but once she compares her situation and her other friends, she will feel that she is losing out.

Besides reassuring her, maybe, you shld try to understand from her point of view.

$500 per month is definitely not enough! (at least for me!)

zichuan SG

$450 not enough for you. How much u think a guy can earn? married alot of things to pay. $1000 for wife? Too much for monthly allowances plus parents need money too.

SMAPLionHeart SG

$450 , when net off after minusing some of the stuffs , should be okay lah.

SMAPLionHeart SG

You should have studied more, if she is thrifty kind , you should be blessed.

dragg SG

money is a factor in everything.

Patrik SG

Yes it plays an important part in relationships.

Medicated Oil SG

If you are studying, I suggest you end this relationship and find some gal that is studying in your school.

As both of you come from the same financial background, it will be hard on her if she have to foot for the bills every time she goes out with you.

I guess she have friends whose boy friends are footing all the bills.

When the comparison comes in, you are at the losing end.

Furthermore, you need more time to focus on your study so that you can get a good result for your future.

This is a difficult period and a test for your relationship.

If your gal friend is supportive and paitent of your situation, you can carry on the relationship.

If not, face up to reality.

I really hope tat money is not impt in a r/s. But then, it is indeed impt.

My r/s failed cos I was previously engaged in my part time studies too and cant afford much on her and I cant spend much time with her too. She dun mind all these enjoyment in our initial r/s but ...... Got to face reality but I still believes that there are girls outside who is willing to stuggle through with their bf especially when they know that their bf is spending money for a better future. I have friends who have extremely good gf who went through thick and thin even if their bf cant guarantee a luxury life in future.

Have a nice chat with your gf and hope that she will understand how devoted you are in building up a better future.

Well i talk to her, everything works out fine. Anyway im upgrading myself studying now. Im 21 i finished my ns 2yrs ago, she is 22, after my studies im going to work. I guess is tough her to wait for me before i go in army and out of army last time, and now im upgrading myself, and she is waiting too.

zichuan SG

I dont like young gals, im 21 my school gals is 17-19 childish.

gerrykoh SG

Yes it is one of the major causes for marital breakup.
A couple should agree on financial management- how much to spend/ save before they get married to avoid quarrels & disagreements.

X-men SG

It is not THE major factor but it sure is one

It's your choice my friend.

Make your choice carefully the next time? Wink
