Money Moral Dilemma: Should I ask my girlfriend to repay me or let it go?
Mate, you've got no chance of ever getting a penny of your money back. You don't seem very worldly wise especially when it comes to
girlfriends and money. Guys (usually) want sex and girlfriends usually want money,
babies (eventually) as well as a very expensive engagement ring (eventually, if they love you), a VERY
expensive wedding, wedding ring, flowers and expensive gifts at each and every excuse, occasion possible, etc, etc, etc, OMG the list is endless. Someone needs
to wise you up a bit. Am I being cynical, yes. Am I being honest, yes. Not all girlfriends are like this but most. Girls, please feel free to reply and tell me I'm wrong. Guys, please feel free to reply and tell I'm right. Mate, you really need to wise yourself up a lot. You ain't getting none of your money back whether you want to or not so you may as well just put it all down to experience and forget about it. 'Whenever I raise the topic of money with her, she gets very defensive and quite aggressive.' Lol.
That's how it starts out, can you please lend me £50, then a few weeks later can you lend me £100 and it goes on, then before you know it is in the thousands, walk away now as it will only get worse, or download the splitwise app and make her do the same and set a £500 limit so when that is reached she has to pay you back or no more money lending.
