My GF keeps asking me about stuff that is none of her fucking business. |

Edited on Thu Nov-18-04 05:55 PM by JVS
So should I dump her before or after getting a nice turkey dinner at her family's house?
edit: misspelled turkey

Then she is not out of line. If not, is her line of questioning along the lines of she thinks you have some kind of a problem that is sucking your money away? In that case, she may not be worried about the money specifically, which is indeed your business, but you in general, which kind of is her business if she's in a relationship with you. She has a right to care. She just maybe going about it the wrong way.
On edit, I saw the answer about the living together thing. Really, it just boils down to what level your relationship is, and what her concerns are. If you're in a deep, committed relationship, then she may not be all that off base because her questioning is routed in concern for you. If it is a casual relationship, she should probably butt out, and you'll probably break it off if she doesn't stop, which is understandable.

52. You might not want to marry someone |
|
who is careless with money, or at least address that before you marry. Because, if you don't, it will get ugly. Trust me on that one. It was a big reason my first marriage broke up. He was horribly irresponsible with money. I knew it, but didn't think it mattered, or that would get better, or some such naive bs, who knows what I was thinking. So, knowing someone's spending habits before you pick out the china pattern isn't necessarily a bad idea.

51. OK... I 've been out of the dating world for YEARS, |
|
but if she is contemplating you as a life-mate, she would want to be able to determine how you deal w/your $$$. Married couples are notorious for fighting over $$$$. It is CRITICAL that $$$ issues are discussed prior to a serious commitment.
If you are thinking about her seriously, why have an issue w/it?
If she's just a 'warm bod', who cares?

I'm MARRIED and I don't ask my husband what he does with his money.
We have separate checking accounts, separate savings accounts. He has his bills, I have mine. As long as I pay mine and he pays his, I could give a RIP what he does with the rest of his money. Same goes for him to me.
It's nice that way.
This is not even a marriage. If she doesn't stop asking after you nicely tell her you'd rather not discuss your finances, you might want to erm....look elsewhere.
The turkey dinner thing is up to you.
