Re: Partner-to-be borrowing money?

Iffy situation.

If he truely needs the money,
1 - he should have asked your parents, unless it was your own money, then there isn’t any fault in helping him out, considering you’re “partners-to-be”. but I would let someone in my family know, before hand, of what’s going on.
2 - wanting to help someone is human nature, just be careful and don’t let it become a habit.
3 - assuming the worst won’t help. I’m sure he was in need of help other wise he wouldnt have asked for it. Think about it, when you both are married, if he’s ever in a financial bind, wouldnt you want to help him?
4 - as far as they amount, that’s up to you. If you feel you can help him with out putting your self in a bind, go for it. If you feel a certain amount “might” be too much, think twice before making a decision.

Things happen.

As long as he pays you back and, like Queer said, has a plan so he wont be needing to borrow again, or as often, help your bf out. But still, I would def let at least my parents know.

Your probably right.. it was solely my money.. I would rather he borrows off me than my family, dont know why… he does have a pln to pay back but just to get it off my chest, next time if he asks im gonna have a serious conversation with him.
