MONEY MORAL DILEMMA: Should Janet pay for John?

The_Loan_Voice

Why bother asking? A high earning city slapper like Janet won't hang around for long, she's only dating John for something to talk about at dinner parties and for a little "caring credebility" once the novelty/ fashion wears off she'll ditch him and start dating a lawyer. The only money women share is yours.
John should pimp off her for as long as he can, then do runner

Financial compatability is the most important thing in a successful relationship:if you're not with someone who spends/saves as you do, the relationship is heading for tricky times when one spends or is frugal to the embarrassment of the other.

I've never had one single disagreement about money with my partner of 14 yrs because we both agreed to cover the essentials (rent/mortgage & bills) and save some and blow some as we felt able to. This has helped us in our decision making through the years and is a solid foundation to our relationship. Now we have a young family and only he earns a salary, we can afford for me to care for our children full-time.

As long as she is willing to pay enjoy the attention, it will not last forever!

They should move to Finland so Janet will pay 70% income tax on her earnings, John will be able to get better pay. They will find themselves more equal, and their love will deepen and blossom, and they might one day have children who will grow up with a sensible non-selfish attitude to life!

As anyone who has watched Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares will know, £100 for meal is not the criterion. He invariably simplifies the menu and charges less for simpler, fresher, local ingredients. Bingo! the place makes a profit. She should ditch the over priced hype and go for the simple man. Mind you, most of the time they don't take Gordon's advice and go bust. Is there a moral in this story?

While I do believe that John should just graciously accept Janet paying for the expensive meals she has chosen, it woul dbe selfish of Janet to not consider his feelings - which he has made clear - and to not realise that he's in a different world.

fine dining may be her hobby, but if his was quad biking surely she wouldn't want to do that every weekend either?

Having said that, if they are so incredibly different, and she can't respect him their relationship is bound to not last so John might as well make the most of it!

Wheres the problem? They have discussed it, if John doesn't like the situation of Janet buying nice food for him then if the relationship continues how will he cope with her being the main bread-winner.

This should not be a problem in modern relatonships, if things were to get more serious for them in the future the John may well be the house husband in a role reversal of the traditional "family".

john should refer Janet to the OS board.

£100 for a meal indeed.
