Do you buy everything for your Gf who has a job?

I never understood why girls are never expected to pay for themselves. seems like a huge waste of money to spend on someone you 98% will not be with in the long run. like if you both go shopping why cant she buy shit for herself? It’s different when youre married and assuming you have joint accounts but before that imo

Why not just set boundaries? I am in a long term relationship and almost never buy stuff for my gf, she knows she has a job and can pay for her stuff. All the relationships I’ve been with have been like that. Do you really want to be with a gold digger? Occasionally I might cover an expensive item such as a vacation, but that’s because I want to and because I make significantly more money than my partner.

I follow the same. I make significantly more than my SO and I occasionally pay for trips and I pay for dinners and lunch. Because I want to. Apart from that, my SO is responsible and takes care of themselves. And that does not bother me because I see a future with my SO.

I guess trips and stuff is fine since that’s once in a while but I’m guessing a lot of people spend a ton of money every week when they go shopping with their SO. When they break up which they are pretty much guaranteed to do so, they’ve lost thousands of dollars for nothing. Imagine how much money you can save if you didn’t waste all that money

have you heard of the song “gold digger” by kanye west

DoorDash zWz OP Nov 7, 2019

She ain’t messin with no broke

It's not gold digging to want you boyfriend to be nice to you

Main problem is they buying expensive luxury goods like LV bags all the time. Food is cheap.

DoorDash zWz OP Nov 7, 2019

Ya that’s fucked up. Like if they wouldn’t buy it themselves don’t expect someone else to

Wait till you date w/ a Chinese girl from Shanghai.

No because I’m not a beta who’s insecure in a relationship or dates entitled and spoiled trash

DoorDash zWz OP Nov 7, 2019

I buy everything for my wife who has a job. Her company has mega backdoor Roth 401k whereas mine doesn't and her comp is much lower than mine, so we bank most of her after tax income and live on mine.

Until she leaves you and takes half plus all those subsidized expenses

Amazon subsonic Nov 7, 2019

Yeah well after 15 years of marriage if she ever left me that's happening anyway, we had a prenup but after this much time nearly all our assets were accumulated post marriage and WA is a "community property" state.

I only buy my gf things as a treat. She makes significantly less than me, but still good amount of money so she pays for her own stuff.

DoorDash zWz OP Nov 7, 2019

Yea I mean once in a while is fine like once a month even. But every meal every day and then shopping each weekend and paying for that is crazy.

Google hacker-man Nov 7, 2019

Yeah exactly. Once a month approximately is about right

All it takes is really just the ability to walk away from gold diggers. I was on a first date once, and the woman made a joke saying “my money is my money and your money is my money”. I swear I excused myself and went home.

Snapchat Romantico Nov 8, 2019

Dang the joke 😱!

You’re getting played.

DoorDash zWz OP Nov 7, 2019

Lol it’s not about me, I was just wondering about people out there I’ve seen doing this including friends

Microsoft iamletired Nov 7, 2019

What? Girls are always expected to pay for themselves. There is not and never has been an expectation that you'll take your gf shopping. WTF is wrong with you?

DoorDash zWz OP Nov 7, 2019

Lmao not at all. Not for the average couple

Microsoft iamletired Nov 7, 2019

Yes, for the average couple. You are extremely out if touch.

Axtria BabyKoala Nov 7, 2019

I don't expect a man to pay for me. But I would love a man who pays for me. Does this make sense?
