Ur very funny....lol.

All d digging ur giving her, back and front... U think say na for free. Please wipe that useless idea that sex is a mutual enjoyment for both parties. Sex is not for free.... Even married couples has paid for it through paying her dowry.

Never u forget that ur d one going into her nd not d other way around.

Blacks and our obsession with sex, spending so much time, energy and money on it to the detriment of other things to edify ourselves and build our communities.

There's this lady I've been dating for two years now. We happen to be members of the same church and I ought to have taken the relationship to the next level by getting my parents to her place for our introduction last month but I had a rethink and postponed our introduction due to an issue that might cause problem in the future

I noticed my girlfriend is the stingy type. When I mean stingy, it's on the high side. Assuming she's just averagely stingy I wouldn't really be bothered but this is gross.

I work as a bank teller (contract staff) and my salary isn't really much while she works in Shoprite. Even from the little I earn, I'm always sensitive to her needs and tipping her whether she's stranded or not is what I've been doing
since I love her but how can I explain being with a lady for two solid years and I've never for once received any gift no matter how little it is? Not even something as little as toothbrush or hair cream

Initially, I didn't see this as a big deal probably because I grew up with the mentality that it's a taboo for a man to expect gifts or little support from his girlfriend when he's in dire need
but I've now grown to realize that "give and take" is one of the key elements of a good relationship

Even if I get stranded or go into debt, my girlfriend acts nonchalant and she'll be the
last person that will ever render a little financial assistance to help my situation. You might say I should sit her down and discuss about it. Yes I've already done that and I made her understand that I actually postponed our introduction for no other reason but because I'm still indecisive if I want to spend the rest of my life with a selfish woman but her response shows she takes pride in being stingy

I even used logic to whine her younger brother recently and he told me her sister is stingy. I decided to carry out my findings on her brother because I believe he should know her better.

You might want to talk about sex but my belief is that sex is just a mutual pleasure and does not define what a woman gives to you in a relationship. 

What's getting me worried is that we've come a long way but I don't want to end up with a selfish woman because it's written all over her that she cares so much only about her own well being

Please advice your fellow brother. Do I have a reason to be worried? I've been jumping a lagoon for a woman who can't jump a gutter for me especially when it comes to giving. Should I tolerate this level of stinginess from a woman simply because I'm a man?

P.S: I'm still with her because she has other good traits

Please pardon my typos. I wrote this in a hurry

Men are the ones bringing causes to themselves.
You are not meant to take care of your gf alone, the bill should be shared 50/50 even if you start giving be very observant to know the game she’s about to play and follow up immediately.

Your girlfriend is not your responsibilities at all in life, a woman will tell you only things that will benefit her and not you, be wise like the serpent and be focus to see far before her like the eagle.

"She takes pride in her stinginnes". Well that's quite a red flag to be honest, it clearly shows not that not only is she unkind but only also not ready to change anytime soon.

My take is politely walk away from such toxic relationship. It ain't mutual. Its clearly one sided.

Ignore these sensible warning signs and tie the not and you will live to regret it.

User283 you have made a good observation and you have been honest with yourself.

Bro, dump her.

Why?

Cos, she will be stingy to her own children and the smallest item they need, she will not buy, until you send her money for it. That is the nature of such women.

If you must marry her, then do so with the consciousness that you’d better have money for all your personal and family needs always. If you cannot guarantee yourself that, please step aside.


One day person no go get money pay one small bill, next thing she go quote bible for you:

“But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” - 1 Tim 5v8

The married ones on this forum will agree with me that the concern and reservations expressed by the op are not out of place at all: they are valid. If she can't show a bit of 'give and take' at this point, when will she? My wife was of great assistance to me in my years of financial turbulence. It could have been hell for me and this attribute she obviously manifested when we were dating and courting. Just be very circumspect before you make that life time decision.

Guy dont miss her ooh, my big Sis is stingy, she was like that till she got married to the Guy, guess what!, now her family comes first, she no send us. She spends all her money on her kids and home. The guy is practically not doing much at home. This kind of wife will put her marriage and her nuclear family first. Don't listen to the people here telling you that you are dating yourself. No body has come to say anything about a stingy wife. Women are sometimes like that. Some girls give as a way to tie a man and when she enters the marriage you won't see anything again. Be wise.

Xmas is coming so you will sure have holiday break from work. Do this...

Travel to stay with a relative or something then call her and say you are sick and lost some money in an investment so can't foot hospital bills which are high. You need her help financially. Name an amount not too high but big enough that someone will not give unless he or she values you.

50or 70k.

Her reaction should speak volumes and what she will do as your wife

such women are very dangerous one who is selfish to her own family members will do worse to you even if you like be dying in front of her its non

Re: My Girlfriend Is Extremely Stingy. Should I Be Worried? by Guyman02: 11:33am On Nov 25, 2019
Let me share a personal experience, when I was dating my wife, I didnt take time to observe that I was basically doing everything in the relationship and it was a one sided affair.
I was buying things for her because money was flowing and she was earning little from her work place. I deluded myself that she was stingy because she earned little and since I was making a lot of money outside my salary there was no issue, I was simply in love.
Then we got married and she got a better high paying job.
After sometime my company redeployed me to another unit where I was forced to depend solely on my salary, no more access to vendors and suppliers who tipped me regularly to facilitate procurement under my control.
We had our baby and the salary alone could no longer carry all our bills, the rent which I could afford to pay without touching my salary back in the day was now a burden.
I kept asking my wife for assistance and it was not forthcoming, it was then I started thinking backwards and realised that I didnt take note of her stinginess.
The pressure continued growing and frustration started setting in, I was calculating what her salary can do for us but she was not ready to assist, frustration due to mounting financial pressure started getting hold of me and in the process katakata burst.
She will even tell me that the bible says that any man who cannot feed his family is worse than an infidel.

We had fights and nothing has changed in her attitude, she spends her money however she likes including buying cars of her choice, trinkets, sending to her family etc while my own money in her eyes is for the Federal Republic. Whenever I send money to my own relations or people in need she gets angry and will remind me about outstanding school fees, gas, light etc so I have to resort to doing things for my own people without informing her.

I had to accept the situation and live grudgingly with it since I cannot divorce her but decided to hustle harder for the sake of the family including her.
At this point its no longer about love in marriage but survival, that her beauty and other 'traits' wey being dey shack me then is no longer the key element in the relationship after some years because there are several bills to settle.
Financial consideration is a very key point for any relationship to be successful and stinginess (which is tantamount to selfishness) causes crisis in marriages.
Guy I will not advise you but I am sharing my personal experience of several years in marriage to help you decide.

Someone shared a story of how a man was sick and his wife refused to sell the his property he bought in their joint name in order to get her sick husband proper medical car.

If you like, marry her. It is that stinginess that would make her mess you up in your old age.
