Hi guys I’ve been dating my boyfriend for about 3 months now. He’s still in ns and is taking home a very pathetic salary.
Ever since we started to date, he’d ask me if I could book him a grab home (He stays in the west, camp is in the east).
I don’t mind booking a grab for him to go home cos I know he’s very tired and if I was in his shoes, I’d want to reach home asap too.
However, this is taking a toll on me. I don’t work so all the money spent on him is my pocket money from my parents or my own savings.
Recently, my boyfriend has been asking me for more money (like $50 or $70) but they’re all very legitimate reasons so I’d love to help him out too (I can help him but then I’ll be left with very little for myself).
He’s quite a nice guy and pays for most things when we’re out (I’d say it’s a 3:7 ratio so 3 me, 7 him). He also pays for my grab when we go home/sends me home.
Is this a red flag?
Netizens’ comments
- Huh just stop taking grab home?? Don’t have money then don’t spend
- how can a guy live off a girl?? Plus he has allowances from NS. If he cannot manage his own finances then you shouldn’t need to be responsible for him
- Take bus can sleep on bus mah, longer journey home = longer sleep. Take cab not shiok la
