skoperism Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Just curious about how you and ur wife/tgf handle finances. 1. If you go out 10 times - Just say to a resteraunt, movies ect on average how many times will you pay? How many times will your gf pay? 2. Maybe your tgf has less money than you / Do you still expect her to atleast, make a effort paying for a percentage of items in your relationship? 3. Any other comments about how you handle fincances with your partner? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donz Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I usally pay but sometimes she pays. Its probaly 60-40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khutan Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 My wife does not work, so the answer is academic. Please understand, the general expectation of the most senior (big) person to pay will take the whole bill. Generally food, unless you are being silly is ery cheap and the imposition is very little.

GuestHouse Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 My wife and I both work, we have a joint account, everything is paid from the joint account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryd Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Depends on the girl/wife/circumstances. The g/f I had back in '98 paid for everything. I gave her so much a day, and after that she took care of our expenses. However now, the sweeeeet young thang I'm seeing lets me take care of the sordid business of paying the bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monochaser Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 (edited) In my world, the man is the bread winner. If the man can't make a helluva lot more cash than the lady, then he is a weakling in my book. He is a mouse not a man. And if he allows her to pay when he's sitting on the mound of cash, then he is not worthy. Edited May 8, 2006 by monochaser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Does this mean that many women are nothing but glorified prostitutes? Sure seems so sometimes from the divorce laws in Western countries and feelings and comments like those above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2396 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 My lovely does not work any longer and does a good job taking care of the house, in addition to full time TV viewing. I therefore take care of all household expenses. I would like to know if it also customary to pay the wife a monthly salary (stipend) and also a similar amount to the family.

cdnvic Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Sometimes I pay, sometimes she does. Often it depends which one of us remembered to hit the ATM that day. In my mind being weak is when your sense of manhood is dependant on something so superficial as money when there are so many more aspects of a persons' personality that are more important than the size of their bank account. cv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I do pay the mortgage (that alone is more than her monthly take home). Eventually I fully expect her to earn more than me though (she is 7 years younger than me). I have no degree, just life experience which doesn't count for much here in Thailand whereas she has her bachelors and is currently studying part-time for her MBA as well as working. Ultimately its a partnership of equals it doesn't matter who pays Edited May 8, 2006 by moonoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verzenden Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 As I'm a student here I don't have any income, only making debts. We agreed on renting a 2 room apartment instead of a single one on the condition that she would be working. She would have to pay the electricity bill and could keep the rest for her shopping needs. All other expenses including food going out etc. are mine. Reality is that I pay everything. Whenever she has income as she offenly changes jobs she is all to happy to pay for everything, she insists and mostly it's spend within 2 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolf5370 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Don't have a Thai GF - the wife will not let me I work and earn well, she works on the odd Saturday etc to help her friend (flower shop). She gets money for this, and usually buys herself and me something as a treat with the cash (last Saturday I got a bunch of flowers - couple of weeks ago she bought a meal). Other than that, I pay. I don't really think of it as me paying. Its our money and we are using that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
