Should you give your ex money you promised to pay out of generosity when you were together, even though you don’t owe it?
Yes, insofar as such was promised.Unless the promise was explicitly accepted as being contingent on “being together”, or there was a serious relationship infraction invalidating such an agreement, live up to your word and pay.Case in point: I had a girlfriend and we were planning a trip to Europe. We ended up breaking up before and I gave her half the trip money, as such was an implicit promise. It would have been wrong to hold “the trip” as a reason/threat/bribe.Don’t dangle money over people and avoid making promises if not willing to follow through.
My girlfriend wants me to get her a promise ring but i don't see the point in them?
so as i said my girlfriend wants me to give her a promise ring for Christmas but right now i don't see the point in them. I'm usually a very frugal person and spending 200-500 dollars on a ring seems way to expensive for me. Right now i am a 19 soon to be 20 year old college student that is barely making it by and she is a 17 soon to be 18 year old and we have been dating for 18 months. Is a promise ring a good idea? If so how much should i spend? i barely make 200 dollars a month. And in my opinion i think they are just another thing to buy for her because everything tells her she needs it. for me just knowing she loves me is good enough for me and i couldn't ask for anything more from her. I have no problem buying her a nice necklace or some nice earrings and my mother taught me well on how to pick out good jewelry. I just think the concept of a ring that promises that i will ask her to marry me is a silly concept. I plan to marry her but i would rather save the money and be able to spend it on a nice night out with her or save it to buy an actual engagement ring. Does anybody else feel the same way as i do?
Should i ask my girlfriends parents if i can give her a promise ring for our 1 year anniversary?
When my son was a teenager he wanted to buy a ring for his girlfriend. We went shopping together and he found a lovely tanzanite/white gold ring. It never even occurred to me, as a parent, to even have my son ask her parents permission to give her a piece of jewelry. However, when my son gave the ring to the girlfriend, her mother kinda freaked out. I thought she over reacted to a simple piece of jewelry. Her mother was not strict, but she was a drama queen. As a parent, I would not "request/require" advanced notice or expect to be told or asked for permission to have a boy give my daughter a promise ring. However, if her parents are really strict and old fashioned, it may be wise to "tell" them you plan to give a ring to their daughter. You can leave out the word "promise" if you think they will feel threatened by that simple word.
I broke up with my girlfriend, but she owed me money and had promised to pay it back to me. I told her she was still going to need to pay me back and she told me to 'F' off. It is a substantial amount of money that I really need. What should I do?
You have made two big mistakes here: (1) you loaned more money than you could afford to lose (2) you broke up with your girlfriend before she repaid the loan. I hope you have some sort of text message or document that clearly says this money was a loan. If not, you will have to get her to acknowledge that they money was a loan. This can be tricky.Your only hope in recovering 100% of the loan is to give her a couple of weeks to calm down and contact her about the loan via text message. Be clear in the text message that you loaned her x amount of dollars on a particular date.If she still refuses to pay you back, then tell her you are sorry to hear that and you thought she had more integrity, but clearly you were wrong. At this point, you need to involve a lawyer. DO NOT tell her you will hire a lawyer because this will only give her a chance to prepare.Have your lawyer contact her directly. Sometimes, the thought of being sued and going to court is enough to scare people into complying. If not, have your lawyer serve her papers at her place of employment. You can also get a court order to freeze her bank account if you know which bank she uses.If you go to court, then you will never recover 100% of your money if you have to use a collection agency to garnish her wages. These collection agencies will usually take half of the money that is garnished. Just know that you may only get some of the money you loaned to her if you are lucky. If you choose the court route, make sure that in addition to asking for the repayment of the loan, you ask that she pay for your court costs and lawyer fees.The lesson is: never loan someone more money than you can afford to lose. More often than not, they don’t repay loans. It’s especially risky to loan to significant others or friends. For some reason, these types always think that large sums of money are “gifts.” In the future, do not loan any money to anyone.
How long should I wait to buy my girlfriend a promise ring before giving her an engagement ring?
Don't put a time limit on it . Just wait until you are 100% sure that you love this woman enough to spend the rest of your live with her and you are certain she is the one you will respect and take care of and give your life for hers if necessary. Remember : the ring is just a symbol of your LOVE.
My girlfriend us 4 months pregnant and now i got her a promise ring! when should i give it to her!?
If you want to marry her, then tell her that this promise ring is temporary that you are saving up money to buy her an engagement ring, but go ahead and propose...since that sounds like what you want to do anyway.
Should I give my Girlfriend a Promise Ring for Christmas?
Me and my girlfriend have been dating for close to 7 months (known each other longer of course)and we BOTH know that there is a future here. I want to spend the rest of my life with her, no question about it as she does with me. I want to give her a promise ring this Christmas to further express my love for her. However, she has been making "jokes" about me getting her an engagement ring. I always frown and she starts laughing, its just something that we do. I'm wondering if she would be dissappointed if I get her a promise ring instead of the engagement ring? I knew she was joking at the beginning, but maybe those jokes turn into something real. Women out there, I need some help! This could either be ones of the Best Christmas's ever, or one of the worst! Im a clueless guy, as most, that doesn't know women as much as I let on.
