My girlfriends wants money after two months

290 replies

gfwantsmoney · 16/03/2022 21:23

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.

Please don’t. She’s found a rich man and is trying to exploit him . Don’t be part of it. Say “sorry but no” if she wants to see you despite that.. it’s real

What countries or cultures do this?

pepsirolla · 16/03/2022 21:33

Get out whilst you can. A decent person pays their own way. May need help occasional for unseen expense like washing machine breaking but no regular hand outs. A true partnership is equel not one-sided. She will start with the rent, then want a car, clothes jewelry etc. She will clear out your bank account then look for some other target. Sorry to sound mean but I think you should be very wary. Can you find out from friends maybe about what happened to any previous partners?Take care and step away is my advice

IrishKatie1971 · 16/03/2022 21:33

Long distance?

Mmm, ok.. watch the Tinder Swindler. It's quickly becoming my mantra.

Countries where only men pay the rent? She saw you coming with dollar signs stamped on your forehead from the sounds of things. Sure, maybe if you were married with children and in the SAME country.... where you worked and she stayed home to raise the children.

She sounds like a fraudster conwoman.... at best, a user and manipulator. I hope she doesn't have your card number.

I've known me who pull the money trick within a couple of weeks. God, the world is full of shitty people. Get your filter on and block this using bitch.

IrishKatie1971 · 16/03/2022 21:34

Edit: I've known men..... not me...

littleblackno · 16/03/2022 21:34

I'm single. I only need £400 per month.
She's having a laugh... run!!

gfwantsmoney · 16/03/2022 21:35

@iwishu

You seriously need to ask? Of course she's taking you for a ride
I thought with the rents so high in the UK, it could be sociably acceptable these days. She was very direct so made me doubt so better ask.

I'm so sorry but you've found rent a bride, this is not a normal relationship, she's out to fleece you, no decent woman, foreign or otherwise would expect this from you & you can guarantee that the self she has shown you is not her, but is contrived to hook you in.

IrishKatie1971 · 16/03/2022 21:35

Where did you meet her? Are you sure she isn't a prostitute? She could be doing this to multiple men...

Easterbunnyiswindowshopping · 16/03/2022 21:36

Tell her it's normal in your country to pay ya fucking way..

I'm sorry but she's scamming you. It would not surprise me if she has other people she's seeing and also asking them for money.

gamerchick · 16/03/2022 21:37

Been a while since I typed LOL, but yeah. She's a pisstaker and she'll bleed you dry.

Have fun.

HelloBunny · 16/03/2022 21:41

I have a friend who’s only with his fella for the money. The guy is divorced & happy to bankroll. My friend doesn’t love him, but is living a luxury life style that he otherwise couldn’t afford. But, my friend had met someone else he actually fancies... It’s about to get very messy!
I think this person would take your money, then feck off at the first sniff of someone else. Sadly, there are plenty of people like this, different culture or not.

Didydani · 16/03/2022 21:42

@gfwantsmoney.

Have you told her your answer? (No!! I hope!) If you have, what was her reaction? How she reacts will tell you a lot about her as a person too. I seriously hope you're not paying her.

Degreeincodology · 16/03/2022 21:43

Are you sure she's not a prostitute?

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 16/03/2022 21:43

Say no and see if she still sticks around.

I am not sure anymore. I am doubting now. I was married for a long time so not sure how it works nowadays. In my time, no girlfriend would ask for money but things change in 20 years. I gave her the benefit of the doubt.

@JayAlfredPrufrock

I could do with £500 a month. Thanks
Same 😂 Run for the hills
Justheretoseemnormal · 16/03/2022 21:50

Could you pay my bills while you're at it? Halo

gfwantsmoney · 16/03/2022 21:52

@Degreeincodology

Now I think she might be. Too good to be true, to be honest. I just texted her that I won't be able to help her with the rent. She has read the message but didn't reply.
