I was always taught never to lend more money than I can afford to lose. Didn’t matter if it was a boyfriend, sibling, co-worker, complete stranger, etc! It just hurts more when it’s someone “closer” to you!
@The_Shadow_Dweller Yeah I had to seek a psychologist after finding out who he really was. I'll never forgive him. He's been blocked on all my pages, even whatsapp too. She calculated that I'll meet someone else quicker. What she said came true. I started dating my now 2nd boyfriend a couple weeks later.
I didn’t mean to be rude but just let this be a reminder that when men talk a lot you’ll know that they’re full of crap. A man should show you actions, if he can’t do that - get rid of him
True. My ex boyfriend would talk too much about himself and constantly repeat that he's always been faithful, frequently say that he never cheated, never used people, mentioning about god all the time to the point of fanatism.. meanwhile cheating and scamming the whole time he was preaching. Now I learned that a real faithful man wouldn't be saying ''I'm faithful, I'm a nice guy'' too much.
I never asked a girl for money. It would show lack of character.

yeah I learned the hard way what he really was One of his ex gfs called me once and told me she pays for the rent and his cell phone. He's been scamming other women, not just me. I was aware of men using girls for sex but he took his ''being a player'' to the another level; it's not only sex with him but actually faking a future and asking women for money.
I don’t think a man should ever ask his lady for money no matter what not a good way to play. TLC said it best you don’t want no scrubs! Get a man that can put food on the table.

It’s always a red flag. The only situation I can think of is if you are his wife and he is sick or something.
Women may not ask but they constantly expect men to pay for everything.

My 1st boyfriend expected to always be half, my mother had to force me to get me something on my b-day, he took away my $50 b-day gift money (I don't recall there ever being a date where we took turns at once; I pay one day and he the next and so on), then it he asked for money. He was beyond a cheapskate... a user. Now I'm with my 2nd boyfriend and he's different than my 1st. I do help out with the bill but he doesn't want me to spend too much and whenever I invite him to eat, he orders a cheap menu. What can be said about that? He told him himself he hates seeing me spending too much and prefers paying more himself.
I wouldn’t do it. If he’s putting that pressure on the relationship that means he’s probs exhausted his other lending hands, and that’s a big red flag

Not always but follow the simple line
If they don't pay would you be willing to forgive them or are you willing to break their legs to get paid

It's preferred not to ask for money. There is a danger of being classified a gold digger as it was the case with your ex.

People who ask for money in a relationship are just using you as an ATM.

I was in shock that certain men can go that far and use us for money/wealth, as commodities. I knew about jerks pumping and dumping but I feel as if I've met one of the most cruel and nasty man ever. I got used for everything; commodity, friendship, relationship, sex and money/wealth. I felt destroyed when I realized it.
All it takes is one person to destroy your innocence (at the same time forcing you to become streetsmart too), your giving nature and not ever be as trusting as before. You're never the same ever again.
I know there are some good men out there but because of him, I'll never be that giving nor believe in ''I love you'' that easily anymore. I'm not ever giving in too easily unless I know for sure I'm not being made a fool nor used again. I'm looking at someone's actions.
Yes he's a disgusting person, a pig, a lovebomber liar, fake future, etc. Just like I loved him once (when I didn't know who he really was), I've taken him out of my life forever.

Did he threaten your life when asking for the money or did you willingly give him the money?
Why would you give so much away? Donate it or save it.
I thought he was really broke and that he needed for our future together. He promised kids and marriage and at the end, find out everything was a lie.
People like these are the ones that ruin the reputation for the entire gender.

It coiuld have been worse. You need to just cut your losses and move on.
That is a huge red flag
True. I was very naive.
I don’t think a man should ever ask his lady for money no matter what not a good way to play. TLC said it best you don’t want no scrubs! Get a man that can put food on the table.

1000 is way to much to begin with. A 100 is more than enough unless he/she provides valid reasons for why
Yeah it's quite bad. Unless he gives you a specific moment when you're getting it back.

Take away the man, is it bad to be asking for money from your partner?
Yes, it's a bad sign. But it's just a sign, other things must be considered.
I wouldn’t do it. If he’s putting that pressure on the relationship that means he’s probs exhausted his other lending hands, and that’s a big red flag

No matter what, you should have limits
How long had you dated him at the time?
Only a momma's boy would do that
Yes, because it can cause a lot of friction.
To me is very bad.
All it takes is one person to destroy your innocence (at the same time forcing you to become streetsmart too), your giving nature and not ever be as trusting as before. You're never the same ever again.
You shouldn’t give him any money.
I know there are some good men out there but because of him, I'll never be that giving nor believe in ''I love you'' that easily anymore. I'm not ever giving in too easily unless I know for sure I'm not being made a fool nor used again. I'm looking at someone's actions.
I have him permanently blocked on all my pages. I hate him.
I know you did it because you were honest and loved him otherwise you wouldn’t.
Too bad that he weren’t a man to return your money back.
Yes he's a disgusting person, a pig, a lovebomber liar, fake future, etc. Just like I loved him once (when I didn't know who he really was), I've taken him out of my life forever.
