When Is It Ok To Assist My Fiance Financially?

Good morning Aunty Eya, I love the good work you are doing with your blog. May God help and uphold your own home.
Aunty pls I have this questions which I will like others to contribute to, the question is, is it good for one’s boyfriend not yet a fiance to be asking the lady for financial assistance. For instance he wants to buy a car, he asked the lady to help him raise some cash, he wants to get an accommodation, he asked the lady to help with some cash. Although he promised to pay back, but the ones he is still owing he has not even paid back. If yes at what stage can we say it is okay. And when can we say it is too early? Especially if the lady is the type that does not ask him for any financial assistance (not as if she is financially okay).
Please keep me anonymous… thanks ma… looking forward to your reply.

  1. I really hate it when men are so comfortable with asking for financial help from their girlfriends! Even if he is so cash strapped, he should try to raise the needed support on his own. Even if she sees that he is struggling and offers her support, shame suppose catch him na!
    Men of nowadays and their feelings of entitilement. I will run from a guy who is comfortable with always 'borrowing' from me even when he hasn't proposed. If we are married, it's a different matter. If I support my hubby I am ensuring my future. But boyfriend, mba!

  2. Throughout my courtship to marriage for 2 years, I never gave my husband more than 10k.He even found it extremely difficult asking me for the money and paid it back within a week. I cannot give any man other than my husband money. Even my husband has to prove himself worthy of my money. If he cheats and treats me badly, I will never except the project benefits me or my kids directly.

  4. But don't you know that's how scammers operate……….he will definitely put a ring on it and tell you all the lovey doves stuff to make you open your legs and account.

    My sister, it has happened to me….this is not reported gist. Straight from horses mouth.

    The answer to your question is after he has taken you to the altar infront of God and man. Shikena.

  7. A guy that is so comfortable asking you for money is not to be trusted. So my dear I will say shine your eyes. Learn to ask him too! Maybe because you don't ask. He feels you have more than enough. If you ask and he doesn't give you, he will not be bold enough to ask you next time and if he is after what he will get from you he will run away! In another news another news today is my birthday,hmm I av to take a life changing step this week remember me in your prayers!.

  8. Dear Poster;

    Form a sincere heart i say NO. From the look of things sef (since you said you are not even financially buoyant) i hope you are not borrowing money for him.

    A man should be a man. IF he cant afford a car, then he should not buy it. You need to run away from this guy and if you cant run away, you must form "I AM FOREVER BROKE". He must not know nyour actual income, he myust feel like you have a million school fees to pay at home. Let him know you dont have any kobo.

    To make it more interesting, start asking him for money too. I am so broke, i need a few cash to get by the month. Lets see his reaction. DON'T GIVE HIM YOUR MONEY EVER.

  9. My dear your story sounds so familiar. It has sure happened to me.thank God it did not end in marriage. I helped him raise money for business that I never saw proceeds.gave him money for car etc. When he started coming up with house rent issues na dia I come get sense. Before he opens his mouth to talk, I will give a whole bunch of complains on financial constraints faced. That's where his character changed towards me and later told me he has someone else.
    Babe if you are in PH let me know o! It might be the same guy. Let me save a sister.
    Dear WC fam, the story of my life is long o.but thank God I have recovered from the shock.

  10. Never give a man money untill he has put a ring on it infront of men and God. He just wants to milk you and walk.. A real man that cherishes you will never ask you for money..

  11. Please run from a man that is bold enough (and shameless enough) to ask you for money – esp when you're not married to him.
    It's different when you're the one volunteering to assist financially…
