How would you feel if your partner came abroad with no money?

[Iwilldestroyyou345]

You'd booked the flights and accommodation in advance. He didn't bring any cash, only a credit card which doesn't work in that country. Has savings of several thousand but couldn't even dip into them for say £100.

Obviously dipping into savings is unwise, but knowingly going abroad with 0 spending money is unfair to the other person no?

it’s such an alien scenario to me to have a partner like this thankfully that i can’t even imagine my response

Very odd.

Can he transfer some online from his savings to you?

It makes him a complete arsehole.

I'd walk away there and then I'm afraid.

Why can’t they just get some of their savings transferred into their current account?

If they have a credit card… presumably they planned on paying off that with cash?

To play devils advocate… it’s nice you booked a trip, but can they actually afford to be there?

Is he usually a sponger? Before paying a penny I’d be asking him for a bank transfer so you cab give him the money he needs to spend.

Scrounging, tight, entitled.

Does he have any good qualities?

It depends what you mean by partner
If you've been together while then presumably you already knew they were this stupid, in which case why are you with them at all?
And if it's a very new relationship you've just dicovered you're with a chancer so time to get rid

He can transfer some money across to you and you can withdraw the cash for him. I would not be bankrolling him.

So they came along expecting you to pay for everything? Cheeky fucker.

How long are you away for and how long have you been together?

Sorry forgot to say, it's a savings account you can't access online apparently.

Which credit card doesn’t work abroad?

He needs to call his bank and organize a transfer.

That’s so cheeky!

We mutually sort holiday money so we both know what is what, I presumed this is part of marriage/partnership

I would feel that the person was taking you for an fool.
I hope your hotel includes food? If not he'll have lost a few lbs by the end if the week

I’m calling bullshit.

Where are you that credit cards don’t work?

I also don’t believe that all his money is in a savings account he can’t access

You say partner - do you live together? My husband frequently comes out without his wallet but it doesn’t matter as it’s a joint account so even if I pay using “my” card it comes out from the same place. Tell him log on and transfer some money to your account - if you don’t have shared finances if you bought the flights and accommodation he should cover all the spending money really.

I agree. I think he's taking you for a ride OP.

What kind of savings account is he saying he can't even call up for a transfer? And he has no current account? How does he pay bills etc?

It would depend on whether he knew the credit card wouldn't work or not.

Iwilldestroyyou345 what card doesn't work? He should be able to take cash although it would be expensive.

If he is finding reasons aka excuses for not having to contribute then he expected a 100% free holiday. Is he that good in bed?

I don’t believe he has 0 in his current account. He could transfer money to you if he wanted to.

I’d be keeping a record of money advanced, and insist he transfers it back immediately on his return to the UK.

I would feel taken advantage of and seriously consider dumping them on the holiday and then watching to see if they manage to scrounge up some money.

Just seen your update - if you can’t access it online - he can phone them up and do a bank transfer over the phone. How does he normally get access to money - if you were at home how would he pay for food, travel etc?

Apparently and has a credit card that doesn't work in the country you are in? I call bullshit.

Don't bankroll him it is up to him to sort out the mess.

People saying all credit cards work abroad, that's just not true. We went to Kos last year and took a current account card for Spends but wanted to pay for car hire on a Virgin credit card. Couldn't be done, they just didn't accept that card. Not for car hire, not for the hotel, not for eating out. We called Virgin and they said some just don't accept it and nothing were could do. We ended up having to do a cash advance thing from a different credit card at home by taking my adult son through it on my Laptop and had to repay it when we got home.

What credit card doesn’t work abroad… or have you gone to Outer Mongolia? He’s telling porkies. Twat alert.
