This thread is not about people in a committed relationship with children, it's about a girlfriend of 2 months.
How difficult is that for calicali to understand...totally different topic altogether.
Exactly. As a mother and a wife - my husband considers his money our money. We are a team. When we were just dating - I would NEVER have asked for him to help me with my bills. If I needed help - I would have gone to my parents.
Never. Unless she becomes your wife. To easy for a decent man to be taken advantage of, only to become jaded later and complain on CD that all women are gold-diggers.
No she's not a keeper...she's just college educated in the medical profession, licensed, and in high demand, an excellent Mom to our two kids, faithful and beautiful, lol. Not only has she taken my money, she got my car and half of the paid off house...it didn't demean her a bit.
If she's licensed and working in the medical profession, it seems like she's making enough money that you don't need to throw any at her. I at least hope she returns the favor and gives you as much as you give her.
[quote=calicali01;27669285]And what have you accomplished?..... Meanwhile, Kids today are shooting up schools/movie theaters, childhood obesity is at an all time high, and the divorce rate is over 50%. The American family is BROKEN. Hmmmm, I wonder why?
Are you really trying to connect the rise in independent, working women to kids shooting up schools, childhood obesity and high divorce rates? Really? I think the people who link shootings to video games and violent movies are wrong, but they have more of a basis than you do.
When you first start dating I think it's horrible idea to give woman money to pay their bills or for beauty reasons. She technically hasn't "earned" it and she knows it. So she won't generally appreciate the gesture. That is just my opinion. But let's say you have been dating her for a couple of months and she starts dropping hints of bills being due.
What's the general rule of thumb for giving your girlfriend money?
I did this once and I got had, i was able to get most of it back which screwed her up in the process, but i didn't care. When do you give your girlfriend money? NEVER!

Yes she definitely has to earn that trust first. Now if a man asked a woman to go out with him for a special occasion, that wasn't in her plans, I can see him paying for her hair style especially if he wants it a certain way, cause they can get expensive. For as her bills, dropping hints ain't gone get it, a close mouth don't get fed. She will have to say that she really needs some help with a bill. But not voluntary.
