Hi Uncle Liguru!
My boyfriend is very stingy. Although both of us have good jobs, I expect him to give me money to maintain myself. We’ve been in a relationship for 3 months.
Should I leave him?
ANSWER
Stingy is a strong word which is so unfortunate for you if true and too unfair if false.
Does your man work? Yes. How much does he earn and what burden is on his shoulders? Before you judge and leave him, perhaps try fitting in his shoes and see what you would have done if roles were reversed. And if they weren't reversed, and they won't, what are you personally bringing into the relationship that in only three months you are justified to discover his tight pocket?
It is better if both of you discover why you are in the relationship. Some people look for partners for companionship. Others for love. Others for the money. Others due to the pressure of conformity. Why are you in the relationship and does the 'stinginess' bar you from getting it?
Better still, you will have much power if your needs remained within your salary's ability. This is 2016, not the Year of Locusts.
