female species...

If you don't want her to keep asking you for money, the next time she asks, just look her in the eye and say, "sure, but you're gonna have to earn it. (Followed up with an evil smile)" That should do it. She'll never ask you again.

Are you saying married/committed couples do this? Or just dating/acquainted couples? From my way of thinking, if I'm committed or I ever get to the "I do" stage, then it'll be:

His money is our money and my money is our money.

Yeah, but you're got to remember that it dosen't work out like that. For instance - If you buy some beers in the groceries, you're spending our money on yourself, even if she drinks it too.
If she buys crap for around the house - She's spending our money on both of us, even if I think we've got enough useless crap cluttering up the place! ;)
 
I've actually had enough of missus spending and way with money now so I've got it sorted. I've set my own bank account up which just my money goes into. I pay our bills and MY bills out of it, give her a set amount for the shopping and keep the rest. She can deal with her own debts from now on!

I'm saying that is the vibes that a lot of guys feel with regard to how women (generally) think from their own experiences in marriage and even with dating...and also from sharing experiences of their friends in such situations.

Sidenote: Of course there are exceptions.

There ya go.
 
Sorry then, but I'm not able to be cloned. :D

Peter, I saw where you feel the need to start your own account? I think that's a bad sign. I must be idealistic. The long-term relationships I've been in where we've lived together, it was understood about the finances. I guess when you fall in love, you can't always hope that the person has the same ideas about money as you do. But it sure helps.
 
Man, the only person EVER in my life known to even ask me for money, was my mother. Eventually, I was almost fully supporting her.

I don't know anyone who isn't well enough to pay for their own shit, so, I can't imagine anyone asking.

God, does that bring back memories. There was a time when my mother would "honor" me with her presence, and ultimately all she wanted was money. At first, I'd be the dutiful good little daughter and give it to her. But when your own mother takes advantage...it kinda soured my feeling toward her.

Ugh, don't even get me started...Cars, clothing, money, food, bills. All she paid for eventually, was her rent. I didn't mind it, until she let this bastard back into her life and went back to her old self. Eff her. It's been 2.5 years since I've spoken to her.
