There's a deep conversation about women giving men money on my TL.

All I can say is, when it comes to relationships, money is the biggest source of animosity.

The way a couple handles money issues is a delicate issue that needs to be decided between THE TWO OF THEM.

/1

I remember in a previous relationship, my man needed more help running the household. He had just started a business.

We discussed it and agreed that I would hold the fort.

I gladly paid the rent, bought the groceries, and paid for our entertainment for close to 6 months.

We made sure the lines of communication were open.

When either of us felt some type of way about the money situation, we would sit, talk, and come to a mutually desirable compromise.

This would reassure the both of us.

This is not to say money should be thrown around in relationships haphazardly.

The utmost discernment should be exercised whenever you decide to transfer money within a relationship.

Agree, is it:
A loan?
A gift?
A shared cost?
Money you are willing to part with?

If it's:

A loan - have a written, signed agreement.

A gift - state it explicitly (declare).

A shared cost - agree on the ratio (50/50? 80/20? etc).

Money you're willing to part with - don't bring it up again in future.

/5

Don't take money issues in a relationship for granted.

Men often feel they can never provide enough, women often feel they could use more.

The key is to communicate so that you both know where you stand.
