I HAVE known this man for one and a half years.

Our problem now is that he always says he has no money. Even his sister always asks him: "You work ... you live alone, where does all your money go?"

He works outstation, and his salary is almost RM3,000 a month. But when he comes back to our hometown, he always grumbles that if I don't take money from him, he would be able to save. But, sometimes, I don't.

However, his family thinks he always gives me money even though I no longer dare to ask for any because I am afraid that he will shout at me again: "Always no money, ask from me, no wonder I can't save any money."

I feel like leaving him but I don't know how to. Can you please help me?

All for the Money

IF you want to leave the guy, tell him the truth. You are afraid to ask him for money because he shouts. Yet his family thinks you are taking his money.

If money is the basis for the relationship, then you truly have nothing to stay for.

The poor fellow is probably under a lot of stress because he can?t seem to make ends meet.

Working outstation is not easy. Costs have been escalating and it is tough for anyone to pay for daily needs, help with family obligations and fork out money each time the girlfriend needs a little extra.

He should thank you for leaving him. When a guy is being pressured, he needs love and understanding. He would appreciate a girlfriend who can help him get through such tough patches.

Instead of asking for money he doesn?t have, she could give him encouragement and support.
