This has absoutly nothing to do with how much money you have or make or how much game you have or any of this ****. this is something my dad taught me when i was still a teenager.
I dont' care how much she loves you. I don't care how game you have. I don't care how convenient it is. Until the words I do come out of your mouth, have your own ****. Have your own house, with it's own furniture,k your own bills, with your own damn food.
Frame is built around your finances. My dad, is not by any stretch a rich man. in fact financially he's the def. of working middle class. And my dad, when he did settle down did so with women who had ****. My last step mom who he just got a divorce from makes about 70k a year and had her own house and her house was like 5x closer to his job than his house was.
And while, he would spend 4-5 nights a week over her house when they were dating/engaged, he refused to move in. he refused to sale his house, which was to my benefit beucase at the time i was in high school and me and my friends would just set up shop at my dad's house all week lol and he didn't give a damn even when he was there. And on top of all this, my little brothers momma had pulled some bull **** and stole his SSN and bought some **** and he had to file for BK, and he was just getting it from all sides at this particular time in his life and i asked him dad.. what the **** man lol? Gina (my ex step mom) has a nice house you are over there all the time, it's 5 minutes from your job, I mean i like you house but damn dad lol. and he told me.
And he told me,backbreaker if you don't ever listen to anything i tell you about dating women (and i had not lol) listen to this.. keep your own **** from a woman until you know you are going to marry her. And by know i mean it's imminent
it may not seem like much and my dad liked being my dad. he lked to go to the clubs and **** even when he was dating her he like dto kick it with his friends he liked to go to the horse track and every time she woudl throw her foot down and try to raise ****, he would say you know what.. **** you i'm out. and he would go to the house he never went to and chill out and it reinforced the idea that.. yeah i have all this ****, but he doesn't need me and if i want him, i need to stop throwing temper tantrums
see, when a woman has you by the balls, she knows she can, and will act a fool. the guys here worried about the ****ing 300-500 dollars a month don't get it **** the money. this is frame 101.
for YOU (op) it's not AS bad because she would be moving with you. but what you still have to protect from is getting so comfy with her paying part of the bills, you take on more monthly overhead. you need to always be able to, at least utnil you are married, be able to cut her off at a drop of a dime if need be.
so by that accord, i would do everything in my power to get her not to pay. i want my Independence.
lol iqqi hit the nail on the head you know want that rent payment is? it's a deceleration of dependance. motherfvcker you now depend on me for sex, for money, for companionship, for entertainment for everything. when she pays the utilities, you might as well take your ass to zales right now at that point it's just a formality. now she pays the rent or event he utilities now she can give a **** where you were at midnight lastn ight, now she can give a **** whey you aren't answering her clals beucase now she's invested in you.
Mind you im' not saying women are evil or that they could not be trusted, I'm saying, understand fully what it is you are embarking on. beucase that's exactly what it is. you are signing over your dependance to her if you allow her to contribute
in other words, some of you guys are so hell ben ton trying to figure out if a girl likes you or not that you miss the entire rain forest. Look, a girl that likes you, regardless of her character defects or morals will happily pitch in to pay bills, not beucse she's a great girl but beucase she understands what the delcration of dependance is about. she knows what buying your ass groceries means. **** amber theg irl who lived with me would go buy groceries when i was hanging out with my friends... it's a woman's' way of marking her tettorty if you will.
what i am saying or trying to say.. i don't WANT you to pay my bills. I don't want the strings that come attached with you paying my bills or helping or pitching in, at least not until i'm ready to make that step
