Rhonda SG I don't think I'll like it very much if I have to go hungry because a guy cannot afford a meal for the two of us! I mean, how much does two packets of chicken rice cost, y'know!
Rhonda SG Actually, it's probably more like the girls are in love with the idea of being in love, and these guys happen to be within reach at that point in time when they want to love and 'be loved' and so, they just go ahead with it. On top of that, there are people who have a need to give. Some folks are givers, some are takers. They are like jigsaw pieces that fit together! They might be magnetically drawn towards each other that way and even though the relationship might not be healthy, it allows each of them to remain in their comfort zones.
SydneyLibrarian SG same here.. i don't have a separate bank account from hubby.. we pool our resources. saves on high bank charges, really
SydneyLibrarian SG I'm not big into Valentine's day and neither is he... we prefer to spend that day at home cos we hate crowds, over-inflated prices of dinners/flowers/cards. We'd rather go out another day after Valentine's day... besides, I agree with elindra in that when u're in love, everyday is V-day Oh yea, and I'll be working on Valentine's day till 9pm.. so... hehe if we did wanna celebrate on that day, die-die also cannot
ShrodingersCat SG I think it really depends on each of us, what are the values we think are most important, and which we think are intolerable. That is why some people can be attached to the most amazingly intolerable person (to us) and we can never get it why. So given a choice between a whole range of imperfections and bad qualities which all of us possess to a certain degree or other (though may not have it to extreme case), I guess to some people, miserliness is not as bad compared to if he is a horrible splurger or gambler. There's always a shadow around every bright spot! (or issit silver lining around every cloud?)

I.M.ME SG just a little survey, do you think after getting married, u should have ur personal savings and not tell ur other half?
ShrodingersCat SG So funny though I dont really get the 'pooled' savings thing. I mean most women have their OWN savings account before marriage. So what do the men expect them to do? Close them and put all the earnings into joint account? Then the guys also close their own account... Very inconvenient leh...plus nowadays most people have A FEW savings account.... Dunno leh... hubby and I have both joint and separate accounts. We don't have much issues with money.. hee maybe cos neither of us earn much
