A working class guy dating a girl & can't even spend on her. This is not a test to kwn if the girl actually loves him & can stay with him when suitation occurs.
What is love in a relationship without giving.
Some pple thinks dating or relationship is all abt sex, it comes with responsibilities.
What is that lady is in a financial mess , the boy friend can't even bail her out,not to talk abt one of her family member needs financial help, what will the BF now do in such suitation.
Lady, the signs are clear, the hand writing is bold enough, make ur choice , you destiny is in your hands .

Pls help me move this to front page.

I am a working class lady and I hardly demand things from whosoever I love.

There is this guy that I ave been dating for years now. I don’t know what to call his behavior, whether it is stinginess or the other way round.

I noticed that whenever he comes visiting, he doesn’t bring anything and I get to cook and takecare of him. I was forced to talk 1 day.

The last time he came visiting, he brought bread and other stuffs along which he ended up eating all by himself. I decided not to cook or do anything but I couldn't take it so we went out to buy stuffs. I needed to use POS and I forgot my phone at home. So I begged him to transfer 5k to the lady and that I was going to transfer back to him when we get home. We ended up using the money to get chicken, pepper and other stuffs.

On getting home I demanded for his account details in order to transfer the money back and to my surprise, he gave me and I transferred the money.

My major concern is that this guy has never given me common N10 and he is working. I don’t know if he's worth settling down with cos I fear for my future. Will he be able to give if he has more? This is the guy that is already telling me to come meet his mum cos she wants to see me.

Pls no insults, just advice.

You played the POS stunt deliberately nd losing u forgot to carry your ATM along

don't understand why you guys are defending this...dude is stingy and it is not for marriage.
You think all those guys that are doing Father Christmas now, will be responsible in Marriage??

Op which kind of work that you're very sure of that he does?

I have a friend that deceives ladies he is working but he is not.

A man can't give what he doesn't have

Being broke is the worst thing that can happen to anyone


If he has a good job and is stingy the way you put it here, from this minute don't pick his call again

What is coming is bigger than what you're seeing now, you can't face it.

So in essence, you want to buy her love?

grin

You can never buy true love

but when you find love you need care for it otherwise you'll loose it

spending on your woman within your means does not mean you wanna buy her love oga

it is because you love her....You can't claim to love someone and not give.

I wonder why ladies will be saying a guy is stingy. Haven't you heard that what man can do woman can do better. Why cant you be spending on him. All these girls that taught guys are ATM. Give them a yard they will want to go a mile. That was how I took on to eatery, she eat rice and chicken. Buy ice cream and later asking me to buy take away for her friend at home, when I declined she said am stingy.

My dear lady, I will humbly advice you to exercise alot of patience with him. In my own view, the guy is watching all what you are doing for him and he decided to keep mute about the development, he might have been discussing your issue with his friends as well and might even be proud of you in proxy. Such guy do take care of girls walahi, I swear you will enjoy him to the fullest if you exercise alot patience...

OP pls don't listen to this advise ooo.
For how long would he be watching. This is a pure case of a stingy guy.

I am a prudent spender but there are certain things that are absurd.
A reasonable guy would not be travelling that far without small hand pack and would still expect ur fiancee to feed u all through ur stay.

O gidi gan fun.
I would only understand if he is not working even if u earn more than him, he shld show some form of responsibility but in this case, he is stingy as f*ck.

I think to him he's doing u a favor by being ur spouse
OP my advise is u open to him about what u think about him and hear is response and watch his attitude if he changes but I doubt he would and if he doesn't then the ball is in ur court.

Are they married??
Why should he be playing a husband or Fatherly role now??

There is nothing fatherly about caring for your own! If the girl is unproductive and parasitic, I will personally tell him to dump her. If she is doing her best to please you, then you should please her too! These husband/wife roles na wetin dey make relationship sweet. It is what makes relationships memorable.

Let me tell you something, the worst thing that can happen to anyone is to have a partner who can survive without you. The minute they attain that, you become useless. Lots of Nigerian partners are useless!!

Since you know life is not arithmetic, why don’t you go to a brothel and pick one lady there. Stop disturbing our ears with wife material talk.

the behavior is absolutely stingy, very bad & should not be welcome. I am a man too.
but sometimes you might assume people are mature to know their responsibility when in the real sense they don't.
you can educate him by either buying a trusted novel that you think he will get the message you're passing on or gives instances of how stinginess can ruin a relationship. Do it with wisdom, if he yield (fine), otherwise dump him. beautiful girl like ought to be with a man that cherish & make you happy at all times.
Although have been once uneducated about giving to a lady in a relationship that's why I said educate him first.

So you are not married to him yet and you are asking for sugestion? You better throw him behind you and run for your life. I have a friend like you she is married to the man but the man will never buy any foodstuff in the house. She is suffering it now am still begging her to be patient. The painful part is that if he discover that she have any money, he will not release his money again untill she finish her money. You better run oo cause i dont want you to weep. Broken relationship is better than broken marriage.

Listen my dear, marriage doesn't fix dysfunctions, it reveals all of it. Whatever you tolerate in dating will multiply times 10 in marriage. If your partner beats you while dating, you will have a special bed in a hospital if you marry him or her. If your partners doesn't respect you while dating, you will have an arrogant and stubborn partner in marriage. If your partner doesn't spend on you while dating, you will have a stingy husband or wife if marry the person. If your partner cheats on you while dating, you will an unfaithful man or woman in marriage.

If you don't enjoy each other during courtship, the high probability is glaring that you cant enjoy each other during marriage.


A man shouldn't be saving to the extent of not be able to give gifts to his partner and vice versa.

Gifts keep friendship warm!

He might not be a good man for you.

Do you buy him gifts too?

Well, as for the 5k yu actually asked to loan it to you, not bad if he had collected it back But he should have done well to drop something before leaving since he came from a far distance and he works then you both consumed what you used the money for.

being responsible comes in variant forms...

there is what we call financial responsibility

a man who is mean even to his woman with money likely will not take financial responsibility in marriage

being faithful and others stems from discipline and not being mean and stingy with money.

should your younger sister narrate this story to you like the op will you advise her to go ahead marry him?

You dating him am sure aside money he has other good attributes.

You women always want a perfect man with all imaginary qualities. Me i hardly give if you don't ask me directly. Am not conscious like that. Some think it's stingy but if I need something I will ask you directly. I dont assume you know my need.

If you have not ask him directly you don't know for sure if he is stingy. Giving is an experssion of love not love itself.

So worry if he loves you.some give all the gift in the world just to access pussyy. onces they hit they run.

What is the boyfriend concern if one of her family members need financial assistance, is he the grand patron of her family?
