This article will provide you frequent asked questions on money and the relationship. You would know how to handle and solve the issues regarding to these headache ones.

 

 

Q: I love my boyfriend and he is always a good companion. He is an easygoing man in my eyes, while you may consider him as a lazy man. But I really admire his easygoing. What makes I feel uncomfortable is about our finance, I mean, when it comes to our finance, it seems that he is lacking of boldness.

  Most of our income is earned by me. And he always thinks that income is “our” income; we should share it and on the major purchase we should ask each other for approval. I don’t think it is reasonable. To be honest, I think it is unfair for this kind of sharing is always to giving my money to him. Additionally, recently his employers cut his hours for the economic reasons. He says he is hunting for extra work, but I realize he doesn’t try to best to look. He even can’t cover half of his bills.

  As I said before, he is a charming partner to me, and I really want to stay with him. But this is really a problem. I want to find out the way to solve this problem. Should I just accept this situation or should we separate our finance so that he would realize his income is totally deficient. Am I unreasonable to think in this way?

 

A: I am afraid that, in my opinion, you are a little bit unreasonable if you really want this man to be your life-time partner, while he is not the one who can earn enough money to meet your expectation. You have to recognize that it is quite common for couples to share their incomes when a disparity of their incomes exists. If he only makes 30 percent of that you earn, it is unfair for him to pay 50 percent of your expenditure. Accept him as he is, or don’t stay with him and find another man who is more suited for you.

 

Q: My wife and I often go to our favorite bistro to have a drink. It is quite acceptable for us to pay the $ 15 corkage fee. However, when it comes to checking out, we don’t think it is necessary for us to pay for any corkage fee or any applicable taxes in our tip calculations. These two amounts have nothing to do with the server’s performance.

 

A: The corkage fee will never go into the pocket of the server but the bistro. You have used the bistro’s glasses, ice buckets, etc, not to mention the service of the staffs that pour the wine for you and always keep an attention on whether you need another glass of wine.

 

Q: Your response to “Kansas Bride”, whose husband is always trying to touch her breast, even in public almost makes me laugh. You said he is a case of hypogenesis in some aspects and he needs to outgrow it in time.

Well, I am 60 years old, having married for more than 40 years, but I still like to touch my wife’s breast whether in public or at home. My wife is a nurse, and the men in the nursing home where she works also like to touch women inappropriately.

Sorry to say that, but in my eyes, he is not going to outgrow it.

 

A: Thanks. A mature man should be able to control his own actions, so that he won’t touch his wife inappropriately in public. What we mean is that a man’s sexual conception is not as important as what he does about it. No matter what he is thinking in his mind, we hope he can learn about how to treat his wife with more respect.
