A man had shared a story about himself and his girlfriend on NUSWhisper Facebook Page.
According to his post, his girlfriend had approached him and asked him why he is not helping her to pay for her student loan. When clarifying with her, he found out that she expects him to use his saving to pay off her loans.
After she was rejected, she went around to tell her friends what had happened. All of them had turned against him and called him an A**hole for not helping his girlfriend.
In his post:
“Me(32) and my girlfriend(29) are living together for a year and going out for two. I make about 1.5 times the amount she makes and split all our bills including rent 60-40. She has a huge student loan in low six digits. So here’s the incident.
Yesterday, she came up to me and asked why I was not helping pay off her student loan.I asked her whether she wants me to help plan her budget or is she expecting me to help pay off her loan. she said it was the latter. I told her I am not willing to join finances as long as we are not married. But she retorted that I have more than enough in my savings and it’s unfair that I am not helping her pay off her student loan.
So, I asked her if she was expecting me to take my savings and completely pay off her loan. She nodded and I started laughing uncontrollably. She got upset and has informed most of her friends and they have been calling me an *ssh*le as I am not helping her. I would have been fine if she had asked if she could reduce her share of the bills, but for her to suggest this I don’t know how else to react. She has been giving me the silent treatment since. So NUSWhispers, AITA?”
