[Need Advice] - Girlfriend going through a difficult time

600 is nothing to anybody, you can make 600$ by delivering pizzas in your spare time in less than a month.

You can make the minimum payments on 600$ by looking for spare change on the ground in downtown houston every now and then.

 

Exactly, stressing over such a small amount smacks of unnecessary drama.

I think looking at it as more of an issue.
Seems like she has her head on str8 but . .. this is a bit of an overreaction
not saying 600$ is not alot of money . .. but she seems to be reacting extremely adversely to it. .. .

She may not be able to pay it off at once, but man...$600 is easily paid off over time......

$50 a month pays it off in a year.

So, did you make a decision?

Rocket, you got played. Hate to say it like that, but that is how it sounds reading here. Gets you all riled up to spend money on a big party, and take her to dinner. Then when you agree to do so, she drops a bomb on you by crying and over-reacting to something very minor. Gets you feeling sorry for her, so you take care of debt. But, knowing you, she knew that you would not just leave her high and dry. She knew you would still take her out as originally planned so as not to punish her for her hard life and huge debt. If she is crying over a $20 a month, you sir are going to have some serious issues with her.

Welcome to Women 101, you got played just like every other guy has on here at some point in their life. Maybe not all have been burned for money, but all have been played like this for something. Its just what women do, some like yours more than others. You sound like you are young, this is the time to weed them out, especially when it is so obvious.

 

Another question, if you've been dating for 2 years, why isn't she living with you instead of her friend's family?

 

quit overreacting guys, hes just trying to give his gf a good birthday...as long he isn't suffering from spending on his gf its all gravy...anyways what kind of food are you looking for? I heard voice is good...i'm taking my girl there for v-day

 

You didn't get played. That's idiotic. It is just money; you were probably going to waste it anyway.

 

Rock3t Man,

Dude, this chick sounds awesome. Really.

She appears to be a hard worker, not only in school but taking a job as well. Is conscious of being a burden to her friend's family. Is trouble by her financial situation, rather than being oblivious and going into massive debt. And is sensible enough to forego one night to celebration for some debt relief.

None of those things could have been said about my ex-wife.

You obviously had some money to part with (the money that would have been spent on the party), so I'd say go for it.

But don't forget to take her out to dinner too.

 

She's in debt and wants to go to Ruggles Grill for brunch?

Sucker!!!!!

 

No need to explain yourself or apologize for using your parents' hospitality to better prepare for your future.

 

More like $120

 

Juan, are you married? Have you ever dated a women? Your response is the only thing idiotic. The girl lives for free with a friend, has or is getting a job, and is crying over a $600 debt. She could pay it off in a month and not hurt financially. That is not real world drama. That is a girl using tears and a sob story to get what she wants. Why not just ask for the $20 for the month until her paychecks started rolling in? Why still accept the party and dinner if she was sincere? If you have ever been with a woman you would know that differrent degree's of this are common. My wife on several occasions has used the old I can't go with you in this dress or in these shoes, knowing I really wanted to go, and I wasn't going without her. I got played, He got played. What would my wife do if I said allright, see you when I get back? She would probally change her tune, but I wouldn't get any benefits for a while. They work with what they are given. Anyone who has been with a women understands this. In his case, they are young and she seems to have taken something minor to the enth degree, and that is a major RED FLAG. Every man has been played by a woman. Its just a matter of how bad and how quick they start doing it.
