Your live in girlfriend's car break downs, she can't pay it so you do. do you expect her to pay it back or will it be ok? it cost $450 for the car.

The reason I ask is me an a friend got into it about it. I say Yes she should, its HER car. He says no its not right, a relationship is bout team work. I understand where he is coming from but I don't think its right.

I would say yes she should pay him back but if he doesn't offer to take the money then I wouldn't worry about it... She should at least offer it

i'd expect her to pay it back but i wouldn't pressure her about it as long as it didn't strain my cash supply.


. . .

It does cut into his money supply. The bills are now backed up.

Heck noooooooooo..........A live in girlfriend is almost the same as a wifey.........Maybe I'm too easy, but I'm sure she appreciates the kindness...........
Take it out in trade..........

ok there is alot of factors to look at

1st how serious is there relationship are they living together? if so he is looking at it as what is mine is yours yours is mine

2nd if the first is a not and no the would he do the same for a stranger on the street? very care to everyone not just her thank of it a a blessing

3rd if both are no he is just trying to buy her and that means he has no more respect for her then he does a whore

I agree--it all comes out in the wash. HOWEVER, if the guy is now struggling to pay his bills, as OP says above, she should help to pay those bills.

The guy should just buy his girl a new escalade

Meh, if that is where you are in your relationship; However, if you are with someone for the long term what point does it make who pays for what? You are there together and the money is going to all go to the same place in the end anyway...

Well we live together so its serious. we look at things like whats yours it yours an wants mine is mine. I know he would do the same for any of his friends or family. The only real reason I am paying him back is because now the bills are backed up an could cost him his vacation.

I also agree with Dubz...

you wanna be my boyfriend?

again that is silly to me, why not just pay the bills and not think of it as paying him back?

well yeah that's pretty much it.

Well if she can't afford to fix her own car then i want nothing to do with her, i'm not paying her bills!!!!!!!!!! " Typical"

lol pats.

RIGHT ON BOTH POINTS ITS A CALL EITHER WAY....

then she needs to be coming up with some money.


. . .

i had a similar situation with a friend of mine. we weren't living together, but her car broke down and needed fixing. at the time i didn't have any money problems so i took care of it and she said she'd pay me back when she could. i told her "whenever." when she got her taxes back the next year she paid me. it was cool because i still wasn't hurting for the money. if i had, then she would've had to come up with some money a little at a time.

it's just the right thing to do. you two aren't married so it's still your responsibility, not his. sure, he's being nice and "noble" but rationally speaking he should be expecting his money back.



. . .

It would be something those two people need to work out on their own. I would think it would be different for different couples.
