in a relationship and you support the other one...

I have come into a story that She is having a relationship with a guy, and she supports her boyfriend... Here in the Philippines, it's some kind of a rarity, when you support, all-out a boyfriend... But to add a complication, the boy starts a fight when the girl has given inadequate support, be it, financial or social, or moral... Is it really wise to continue to provide full support to a boyfriend when if you give all that is a start of your fights?

i hope the girl would soon realize that this guy wont be giving her the support she'll need should they decide to settle down and face more challenges. it will only make things worst! i have seen disabled people who still pursue with their lives and never thought of becoming a burden not only with their family but in the community as well. they make themselves worth.. somehow. sad as it is, but she must let go or suffer from the consequence of falling too much in love.

as the saying goes, you can give without loving, but you cAnnot love without giving... as what we believe most of Filipinos, Love is give and take from both sides... but the girl is apparently cannot identify, which gives most of the time, and get's most of the time, as the Give and Take philosophy goes, as a must, it should be mutual...

If I was with somebody that I was giving my all too and yet they were still starting arguments then it would definitely be time for them to change or for the relationship to end. I was once in a relationship with someone who I used to support quite a lot and this lead to me getting in to debt and having real low self esteem and it was only because I loved them that I stuck around. My advice to her would be to dump him!

as soon as the arguments starts with money issues, she should start considering dumping him... That is the most right solution to stop those arguments...

First off, the guy must feel lucky that girl supports him knowing that he should be doing it instead. The kind of guy in your story is just one selfish jerk. If I were the girl in this situation, no matter how I love him most, I'd break up with him. I ain't going to be all supportive of him and I get nothing but all the rant and so supportive actions from him. It ain't worth it at all! I'd say, DITCH HIM! Find someone else! Someone else who deserve all your love and care. And yea, are you serious, it never is wise to stick with this kind of guy! NEVER! Alright am I getting carried away here? Lol

i dont agree with what she done.although it is good thing to support her boyfriend.but i think that love is not charity.there is not any help for her boyfriend and only let him hate her behaivour.because i think that this surpport could not surpport him forever.this is important thing for him that he must learn to gain what he want depending on his ability and intellegence.on the other hand.when the man become this habit to be surpported by girl.his disadvantage would be appeared and let this girl not easy to accept.finally what you see that what the girl done is not meaning for her boyfriend.what she done love him or hurt him?she should think about this.

I think it was so nice of his girlfriend to support her in all those aspects but he is so ungrateful. I dont think he deserves all that support from her when he would start up a fight just because the support was lacking. Men like that dont deserve women like that. If I were the girlfriend, I would break up with him at that very moment. I know its not my lost anyway.

In my opinion the girl should not support a man financially, im not in favor in supporting a man if he just a boyfriend of mine,and the guy should know where he stand, though the girl offer the supports he must know what others think about him,i can support a man but only in moral means.And if that still could starts a fight i may consider leave him all the way.God bless !

I don't think this is a good relationship to be in. Both partners should support the other and should respect the other person's efforts, be they financial or social or domestic. And both partners should support each other emotionally. it kind of sounds like the boyfriend is taking advantage if he starts a fight because he feels she isn't being supportive enough when she's already supporting him.

i think for practicality's sake, you have to break the boyfriend. butin reality,, when you love your boyfriend very much, you cannot do anything, because you are blinded by love. it not only happens with GF BF relationships, but also for married couples.

relationship - Its nice to have give and take relationship.
I think in a relationship its give and take.Its supporting with each other when you can.But its so hard when its just one side.Based on what have known,its not good to give your all out support.Sometimes one will abused you by demanding too much.You will never know if you will really end up marrying each other.I had a friend who really supported her boyfriend.She gave everything,money, clothes and other needs.But then the boyfriend had somebody else and end up marrying the other woman.The sad thing was he got her pregnant and raise the child alone.

I say she should come home ask him, "Whats for dinner?" And when he acts like HE has a problem /argument with her she should pick-up the phone call a co-worker who's been trying to date her and leave his azz to argue with himself!lol

your story is not as new , that's life whatever it takes to the relationship there is the time that comes into your relationship and support the other one.

I think that guy in your story is such a bum! He has to get a job and earn on his own. He should stop asking too much from his girlfriend. I think he's a user! He should not be like that. If i was the girl in your story, i would immediately dump him! =)
