Is your partner generous or mean?

Question

Does he or she buy you plenty of gifts and provide you with adequate means to have a comfortable lifestyle? I'm asking this as I think mine is really tight and is always moaning about spending too much money.

Answer 1

Generous.   With herself not just gifts.

Answer 2

I dont let money or posessions affect my relationship. I am more financially stable than he is so it looks like hes tighter than me, but if he had a better job he would be buying me more things I bet, but instead the other way round. Comfortable lifestyle is buying within your means. If you know it was a thoughtful gift, then you dont take it for granted.  

Answer 3

My wife is not materialistic and does not need gifts for me to show her I love her.  Nor is she high maintenance needing tanning beds and getting her nails done.  If money is all you are worried about then you should not have gotten married in the first place.

Marriage is about love and commiment and spending the rest of your life with someone not how much you can spend.

Answer 4

My ex husband was not mean. But my last 'friend' was.  In the time we went out (just over a year) He did not buy me a birthday present, the christmas present he gave me, I think he got free from work, meant for clients and in total he took me out for an Indian Meal 3 times. He was well paid I think, he was always going on about it anyway.  I dont work but bought him lots of little things that meant something to him.  The last gift I bought him cost over £50 at Valentines he was delighted with it, then asked was that all? He bought me nothing not even a card! That was the end for me, I am a generous person with time and money. He must have saved a fortune as he did not even have to use his car!  

So if I was you I would run a mile.

Answer 5

Yes mine is very generous, he couldnt possibly do any more for me and the children.

You could always get a part time job to give yourself some extra money? :)

Answer 6

Exactly...he should not have to buy you stuff. When he's at the store with a wad of cash and is thinking of you he'll buy you something..but you shouldn't ask him to be you mother and provide for you....that's for married people. Why don't you spend money on him for once??

Answer 7

Lol.. go to work I would never rely on a man to keep me, whats wrong with you ?

I have continued to work one way or another through both my pregnancies and my childrens growing.

If you want a man to keep you I think you are going to be heading for a fall.

Be independant and strong, who needs it ..

Answer 8

Why dont you supply your own comfortable lifestyle!
