My girlfriends wants money after two months

That is really. I have been seeing this woman for a couple of months. We have seen each other every couple of weeks since January and everything is fantastic. We talk almost every day. She is beautiful, interesting and I really like her. I could see a future for us after being single for a long time. The only problem is that she just told me she needs 500 pounds a month to pay her rent each month. She is not from the UK so she said in her country it is normal for a boyfriend to pay for things for his girlfriend. Is she taking me for a ride? I can afford the 500 pounds.

She wants you to pay her rent for her every month?
Thatll be a no, surely?

LIZS · 16/03/2022 21:25

She sees you as a cash cow not a future partner. Does she work or have the right to do so?

Liz1tummypain · 16/03/2022 21:25

Why should you give her any money? I'm not following this. I would suggest she gets a job.

Wowzel · 16/03/2022 21:25

Yeah, don't do that. She wants to use you for your money

iwishu · 16/03/2022 21:25

You seriously need to ask? Of course she's taking you for a ride

PeacefulPrune · 16/03/2022 21:26

Is she taking me for a ride?

Yes

Tillymintpolo · 16/03/2022 21:26

Don’t be silly

TibetanTerrah · 16/03/2022 21:27

What would she do if she hadn't met you?

She'd find another mug to pay for her. What you have isn't special, she wants to use you.

Didydani · 16/03/2022 21:28

Omg, how cheeky of her! Please for God's sake do not offer to pay for her rent! Number 1 - it's not your responsibility and number 2 - yes I second what other have said, it sounds like she just using you. Why can't she pay for it herself?!

That is really. I have been seeing this woman for a couple of months. We have seen each other every couple of weeks since January and everything is fantastic.

What a great racket, only has to see you once a fortnight and probably askin 13 others the same in rotation …

TravellingFrom · 16/03/2022 21:28

It might be normal in her country.
It doesn’t mean you have to say YES.

Would you be happy to give her that money after a few months, even though you’re not living together?
Or will you be taken for granted/taken advantage of? I’m guessing the latter if you are posting about it!

NLisa · 16/03/2022 21:29

There are definitely cultures where this is the done thing. The question is are you comfortable with this and willing to do this?

fairgame84 · 16/03/2022 21:29

Don't pay it. She's shown her true money grabbing ways early on.

DariaMorgendorffer · 16/03/2022 21:29

She's taking you for a ride.

gfwantsmoney · 16/03/2022 21:29

Thanks for all the replies. I knew it. I just wanted external confirmation. It's a shame.

Don’t do it.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 16/03/2022 21:31

I could do with £500 a month. Thanks

BringOnTheOtherWorlders · 16/03/2022 21:31

Sounds like she is wanting more of an "arrangement" and not an actual relationship.

Peanutssuck · 16/03/2022 21:31

That would be a definite NO. Makes me wonder how she paid it before you came along

JosephineDeBeauharnais · 16/03/2022 21:32

My BiL does this. I believe it’s known as Sugar Daddy (which is a polite form of prostitution).

BakewellGin1 · 16/03/2022 21:32

Confused money grabber right there

I'm sure in any country that's the same thing

thisplaceisweird · 16/03/2022 21:32

Is she very very beautiful, always too busy to chat or go on dates with you and rarely intimate? Sounds like the kind of scam you read in the papers/see on Netflix

gunnersgold · 16/03/2022 21:32

Don't be daft ! She is taking the piss !

Kisskiss · 16/03/2022 21:33

You should say no and see what happens.. it seems odd if you only see each other every fortnight- how many boyfriends does she have , each giving her 500 pounds a month

Maverick66 · 16/03/2022 21:33

Don't even think about it!
