I mean I suppose no one has to share how much they make. I just don’t see why not? I feel like it’s kind of important when you live together and split bills.
My partner and I have always known how much the other makes (we’re on very similar pay), and speak to each other about money openly.
I mean… it depends on your intention I think. It seems crazy to me to keep it a secret BUT, I never felt the need to ask my partner for a number. He showed me that he was a hard worker and would do whatever it took to take care of himself first and take care of me second, just as I tried to do. If you’re dating with the intention of having a long term relationship and want a family one day, I’d think you’d want to know if you and your partner could collectively make enough money to support both of your future goals and dreams… especially if you want to start a family eventually.
Depends on how long you are to getter.. maybe he has a reason for not telling you... so you have to wait till he his ready to tell
A: And he takes his private jet home... 😁
B: And he gets his personal stuff and is ready to sleep in the train station.
So no he should not tell you unless you guys are ready to get married or are together for 4 years.
Maybe he has money and want you to be with him for him and not is money... options enough.. 🙃
we've always been pretty honest and open in how much we make or any raises we get. i mean, you kind of have to. do you two not live together? or planning on living together? if so, then yes you need to know.
i do think it's weird how he's so secretive. did you two just start dating? under a year of being together? either he's embarrassed or doesn't want to be taken advantage of.
i was curious to look back on these comments and wow some of these women... you don't have to be married to know your partners finances. "you're not his wife so it's not your business". wtf is wrong with some women these days... wow...
It depends how far in the relationship you guys are. If you are starting to intertwine finances, bills, living together then I feel like a conversation of what you make shouldn’t be that big of a deal.
But if you’re at the point in your relationship where you guys aren’t financially together, I don’t see the big deal in sharing your finances (I feel like my finances is something really personal and will only share that once the relationship is financially intertwined together). But if it bothers you so much just talk to him, if he doesn’t what to share then you just have to respect that his boundaries.
Having secrets for eachother in the relationship for eachother sounds like a relationship In wouldn't wanne be a part off.
If the minor things like finances are already a secret then I don't wanne know what else is been hidden from you 🤷♂️
Good luck with that one 🙏🙈
He doesn't trust you with that knowledge. I had a girlfriend who spent all of what she earn't and seemed to have intentions of also spending all of what I earn't.
Maybe you have given your boyfriend the impression you're that type of girlfriend.
Most guys I’ve met don’t want to share that kind of info with someone who’s not their wife or is on the verge of becoming their wife. It’s okay to ask your boyfriend what he does for a job, but for a lot of men, asking him what he makes comes across as rude, as if you’re only interested in him for the money.
Yes they should tell u. Because as a human being u need to know where do you stand in life. Where does ur kids stand in life. In which social status are u. This is very important for ur identity and for tapping into ur oppurtunities. If u know u r poor then u will plan to change that or manage ur budget. If u know u r well off then u will plan ur life accordingly. Not knowing what is ur social status is like not knowing u have cancer. Sooner or later it will mess u up.
if you’re not living together, we’re planning to get married or establish some long-term committed relationship. I don’t believe it’s any of the other person’s business.
not that it shouldn’t be your business eventually but if you’re just a girlfriend or just a boyfriend, it’s not your business
Unless it's a serious relationship, engagement, etc., I don't know if it's any of your business, tbh. If it's just early stages or casual dating, then why do you want to know? If it's more serious, then, yeah, you guys should talk about finances at some point.
How long have you dated? Are you living together? Contemplating doing so?
I ask, because I would not reveal my income nor net worth to someone if she and I had only just started dating exclusively. If we were talking about a long term commitment, that would be different.
I asked your boyfriend for you, and this is what he said :
@emyywolf and what if he isn't telling her because he makes a bit of money and she is showing signs of being a gold digger.
You also don't know how long they have been together so maybe it's a new relationship and she doesn't have the right to know that information right now.
I personally would like to know. But I would respect it if my girlfriend didn't want to tell me.
If I had a particularly high income I would not want to share that with my girlfriend. I would rather prevent that from being a factor in my relationship if I could.
We shared all of that kind of info from day one. We have joint bank accounts and know everything about our finances together. It's worked for over 30 years without a problem. We started this long before we were married as soon as we moved in together.
Early in the relationship, it shouldn’t be the other person’s business, but once things start getting serious, and shared finances need to discussed, both people should be open and honest about their income to better work together, especially when living together.
I wouldn’t ask unless it would have to become my business. If we were to get married, of course. If we were going to move in together of course. Otherwise I wouldn’t even care or ask.
Why is it so important to you to know?
Has he had any issue paying for things? Is he treating you poorly? If not, then all you’re doing is snooping. Being curious. And yes moment you know his income you’ll put him on a scale and decide whether he is worth your trouble.
If you have combined finances, then yes. If you do not have combined finances, then no. If you know what he does for a living then you probably have at least some idea. Private information like that is for spouses, not girlfriends.
