Ugh, that's really weird he says he is a "daddy" or whatever. Look, I can't stress enough when I say "it depends on the situation" because I've been sooooo lucky, I've never had a girlfriend that was bad with money, they were all responsible, they all were in fact more careful with my money than I was. So, I have a really great experience, with all three long term relationships but it's weird because most of my guy friends say it's their #1 problem.
It all depends on the girls relationship with money itself and her own management skills and goals with money. Everyone has their own relationship with money, some of those relationships are healthy, unhealthy, spoiled and abusive. It all depends on what relationship you have, he has and both hVe together. Not whether you ask him and no two girls or situations are the same

You should never borrow money from a significant other. It can change the nature of your relationship and alter the balance of power. If you value the relationship, you shouldn't do it. . . even though he says it is okay.
No you're not weird. Asking anyone for money is awkward. I personally don't do that. If I'm having trouble I will ask my parents as a last resort. Never asking my friends or (future) boyfriend though. Introducing money to friendships is not a good idea. Like yeah, you can treat each other to snacks and buy gifts for one another, but lending/borrowing cash just makes things complicated in my opinion. I used to have a friend who always wanted to borrow money and would rarely give it back. When I borrowed money from her, she would constantly remind me of what I owed her and be straight up nasty about it (I never forgot once to pay her back, though, which she did multiple times). So in my experience it just makes things weird. I prefer to pay for my own shit and I prefer it if people don't come to me when they need money.
It's kinda creepy if he says it in those exact words
"princess I can give you some money... if you just ask... in a certain way"
"now come to daddy"
Lol, I'm joking, but it's funny how man complain but they're the ones connecting money and material things with showing love and affection.
Anyway, I think it depends on the situation, your relationship status, what you need the money for, if your parents or family can't help, etc.
I also don't like, but when he proposed to live together, then the line became blurrier and I needed/ still need to learn to accept we won't be dividing everything 50/50. It's not that simple.
I understand what you are going through. I feel awkward too. Its like since I was young, I always had an independent spirit. Working on holidays and weekends since I was 15 just to make up for school trips, recess, assignments payments etc. My parents never ever gave me an allowance everin my life, I always had to work to buy the things that I desired. Nowadays, guys would promise to buy or beg to buy me gifts to show appreciation but I dont accept them, It feels so wrong or maybe I dont think a guy should be allowed to take care of me.
I'm married so it's ok for us to share everything but when you are just dating, it is some different rules. My sister doesn't ask her boyfriend to pay off her debts even though she says he could, and he makes a lot of money. She says that he just helps pay the rent and her gas money.

I would feel weird as-well unless it's my husband
I think it's weirder that he calls himself "daddy"
He is not your father!
What a weirdo."I'm your daddy it ok baby" or "princess I can give you some if you ask."
/BARF!!!
Why the fuck anyone would want to date someone with this mindset is bewildering to me.. Takes all kinds I guess.That's just creepy! He's dangling a 'hook' and when you take his money, you are his toy!! Be careful!! A real guy would never say creepy sht like that, and just give you whatever he could, without strings.
It's always a bit awkward to ask for money, at least I feel it always should be. It's better then just being completely nonchalant about it. It shows you're not just milking them for money, you care and feel a bit uneasy because money can be a big deal.
I consider some discomfort to be a courtesy.This was some of the most cringeworthy stuff I read all day.
I borrow money sometimes from my boyfriend when I really need it. He's older and more established so he doesn't mind, and is aware that I'm working hard to earn more money in the future, so figures he'll help if he can. I feel guilty about it and pay him back whenever I can, but if you have a good partner they should be willing to help because they love you.
What is weird is him calling himself your 'daddy'...
I don't like asking for money from the SO either. Like I don't mind taking turns paying for things but him paying for them makes me cringe.
Why does he tell you he's your daddy? That's WAY more awkward then you asking him for money.
Honey, unless his sperm contributed to creating you, he is NOT your daddy.
You're not weird. I feel the same, except not with the 'daddy' thing. My boyfriend currently earns more than me, and he's always happy to help me out, but I hate asking for help. It makes me feel so useless.
Lol, it's not that weird but I can see why you may not want to because you don't want to have to depend on him, but in reality partners help each other out when in need.
Well imagine you asking to borrow and he says no. It would be a disaster of epic proportions from the male point of view.
So yeah, if your girlfriend or wife is asking... you might as well agree but try to get something back.You're not weird.
By the way, if you don't want to borrow money, why don't you earn some yourself?If this doesn't happen too often and just for a little amount of money then it's right, I mean he will probably be your husband and you'll both share money with each other eventually
Doent sound like you love him. Or care to want a future with him. So why not use his money. He seems to love the idea of u spending his money. In this scenario it Works out. Most women are in that kind of relationship. Financial prostitue.
I think he is weird for saying he is your daddy... But ya I wouldn't ask my boyfriend for money
No you are not. I am exactly like this. I would never ask a man for money, not even if he is my boyfriend.
I would never ask my boyfriend for money.
The whole incest fantasy thing is pretty fucking weird.
