When to say its over without any regrets?

October 26, 2012 10:23am CST
Hello Friends, I'm stuck with this relationship, We've been a couple for 2 months now and I feel like my feelings are fading day by day. But I'm confused because I don't want having regrets after breaking up with him. He's sweet and loyal to me, but he is irresponsible when it comes to work, He don't know how to budget his money and even ask money from me. It turned me off, Guy asking money from his girlfriend? tsk3x.. I really hate that kind of person. Do you guyz have any advice? I think I'm going crazy. Some of my friends would tell me that my boyfriend is just using me because of money... :(

I am sorry to hear about your situation. It would be hard for many to believe his sincerity when a boyfriend would ask money from his girlfriend. Yes, most would think that he is just after the money or in other words, he is just using her. In your case, I do not really want to jump into conclusion that he does not love you or just using you. Maybe he is in love with you but is just plain irresponsible. So if this is the case, you need to think a thousand times before you take time and effort for this relationship because I believe that no one would want an irresponsible husband and father to your kids right? So as early as now, if he truly loves you, talk to him and ask him to settle his issues. If he loves you, he will definitely make an effort to change himself. But if you didn't see any changes, I think it's about time to turn the pages. At least you have given him the chance to prove himself therefore you won't regret if you decide to end the relationship.

Yes very well explained Like I said below give some more time and discuss your feelings with him. Do not directly go and argue with him but have a mature and serious discussion considering your future in case you guys are serious!

Exactly! If they are serious with each other, they should not only look at present but to their future as well. Starting your own family is not easy. Couple should have a good foundation, but I think that before they can do that, they should also have a good foundation as an individual. I think that it is not yet too late for a change.

I can say he's irresponsible and he admit it. I just hope he will change for good. [sigh] ... I know he really loves me but in my inner conscience says he's just using me... It's complicated. My life is complicated. I know we're still young, I'm 24 and his 21. and I think there's a big difference having a relationship to a younger guy compare to older ones. But, He's sweet and charming. The only problem is his being irresponsible. I already told him that I can't marry a guy who is so irresponsible but I can't tell him about the money stuff. Its hard.

A boy who is with a girl for money? That's unusual! Well you must talk to him. IF you love him but he has bad habits your relation won't live for too long. You can't live together in the same house. If you don't love him but have the same habits or hobbies just be friends. As I know this is how it works... Same hobbies + love = Bang!

You know if you got the same interests you are friends. But if you have the same interests and feel love that a long term relation.

It's hard to confront someone about that stuffs. I'm afraid that he will get insulted when I told him about that. I don't even sure if he's really after my money. Doubting someone is normal right?

At least let the love come from you, let your love teach an awkward guy how to deal with a love, let your love be unbeaten. Later it will create its own realm.

Good ideas, but if the relationship isnt good for you, you need to get out of it. Think about you not him.
28 Oct 12
Think about me.. isn't that selfish? just think about myself? I want him to change for good. he must change for good for his own future and our future. I just hope things will get better and my questions will be answered. Thanks Maria for your support.

leave this man. at least now, its not long enough and you will no be hurt that much. if he ask money from you now that you are still in bf-gf state, how much more when you are married to him? asking for money is really a turn-off. he is just showing you that he has no capacity to support you and be a good provider in the family in case you get married. it's a disaster marrying him. forget him and find another guy who is much much capable of handling a relationship especially a marriage.

You're right, marrying a who is irresponsible quite a stupid thing to do. But, I don't know how am I going to do. Leaving him will solve this problem. I know that but, I don't want to have a hanging issue between us, I want a clean break ups. Maybe I just have to give him a chance to sort things out just what other myloters said. And if he don't really change.. We'll I don't have any other choice but to leave him.

I would say relationship is not easy. Beginning of every relationship is interesting but gets kind of boring when both partners knows their ins and out.Based on the good comments you gave about him tells a lot about you loving him but know that each individual was brought up in different backgrounda and as such different behaviours. He might not know but my advice is, you sit him down and talk. It takes two to overcome all differences and enhance on your communication skills with him. I bet you he will change for no guy out there is perfect.

Overcoming things is not that easy, confronting things to your partner is also not easy but hurting someone's heart is very easy...Just a snap and there you are crying as if you're grieving someone... why do people have to hurt someone? God I hate it!. I just wish my relationship have a happy ending...

I think that it is normal to have doubts about your relationship, but the most important thing that you have to do is to make sure that you understand why you're having these doubts. If you're bored with your partner then it might be that the only thing that you need is something to spice things up, and doing something together would bring a bit of excitement back. However, if you're finding that your feelings have just faded, and there is nothing that you can do, then it would be for the best that you should break up and try to find somebody else who has the same types of feelings for you.

Bored... Well, I'm not bored. Its just that, I'm confused about my doubts. and I can't conclude that he's really using me. 2 months is too early for break ups. I think most of the people would agree with that. I love him but I don't know where to start after hearing this issue to my friend.

This is very sad to hear. Guys nowadays have changed their preferences drastically. Earlier they used to be with gals with good looks and nature. Nowadays they prefer gals with more money. I have few guy friends who share their likings with me and all of them believe the same thing that it doesn't matter how the gal looks or how is her nature, what matters is money because all good looking gals are already taken It is completely pointless. I would suggest you talk to him and sort this out. Two months is very short duration to decide that it is over. If this was more than a year then I would have said, it's too long. I would say give some more time to your relation and find out the actual reason of your bf doing this.

Money is the source of everything. If you want something, you got to have money or else you can't have it. Some people will strive hard just to get or buy what they want, Some will use people to get what they want. That's reality. But, What I'm confused is that, people fall in love but they don't have money. How are going to identify that they really fall in love but they need money. There's a saying that... I love you because I need you or I need you because I love you... Its very confusing... :(

why you trust anybody else about your boyfriend?? you more trust your deeply heart voice than any people you more know about your boyfriend than anybody else..;. i think just discuss with him from heart to heart and maybe you`ll find the answer about your boyfriend
28 Oct 12
We've been in a relationship for just 2 months now, I can't say that I really know him. We've been friends like 6 months. The friend who told me that he's using me is kinda like my best friend. we've been friends for 1 yr now... Thanks for the advice, talking to him heart to heart would be the best way to settle this issue but, I have to gather my energy to say it.. its not that simple confronting this kind of issue with him...

I believe you should leave your boyfriend after you would confront him and if he does not give you an acceptable reason why he does not want to work. You deserve someone better. There's a lot of fish in the ocean. Good luck thanks.

Haha you're right, there's a lot of fish in the ocean. If it's that easy to pick a fish, I will do so... But, in reality, its not that easy..

I think you are able to decide if your boyfriend using you or not. An advice? It's really hard to say because I don't know which type of person is he. Yes, it's pretty strange you he does but if you want a short relation I think it's ok, but if you want a looong relationshp isn't ok. Think about pros and cons about this guy and take a decision.
28 Oct 12
That's my problem, I'm not so observant type of person. I know all of this because my friend told me so. And now, I doubted him and don't know really what to do or how to confront him about this. It's kinda hard.
