LOL, I guess I had that one coming for being an a-hole.

That's been my observation and I was even surprised to see my opinion shared by "experts" in the field in some book. The bratty and helpless women do much better. Obviously, it takes certain looks... Not everybody can pull that off.

I've never had to deal with this type of woman. Although she's not quite Bratty, she just seems extremely naive and this worries me. I could never put up with a Bratty woman long term.

Honestly, it doesn't seem like you like her that much. You've only been dating a few months and you're picking her apart? To be fair to you both, it seems like a good time for a break. Then after a few weeks, ask yourself if your happy with her or without her.

This is the only issue I have with her. I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I dont like her, I do indeed adore this woman (more so than any of my past) but I can't cope if its a habit that she can't adjust.

If you like her, but she's making poor money decisions, maybe you can use this as an opportunity to teach her better habits. Maybe you could say you're trying to make better financial decisions and go over some budgeting tools. Like saving her receipts and creating an easy spreadsheet for her to start keeping track of her money. If you use the word "I" instead of "you", she'll probably hear your message better.

One more thing...I have a sister who is a free spirit when it comes to money. We always laugh about her ATM "karma" as she calls it...will it dispense funds or not? LOL...anyway, she actually has been seeing a therapist about several issues, but money came up and she told me that her therapist suggested that she had been avoiding balancing her checkbook and not controlling her spending out of fear. So for my sister, not addressing the problem was a coping mechanism. Could be something to think about.

Treat a woman well and she will be like gold to you. You just don't know that yet.

It doesn't sound like she ever had to do much for herself. Some relationships are like that. Sounds like her last one was. The guy probably wanted it like that. He had his trophy girlfriend.

Tread carefully. She may think all men are like that. If she is really special, talk to her about it. Good luck.
