Would you consider marrying..

A question for ladies specifically:

Would you consider marrying a man who is extremely miser, so much so that, he keeps a count of every single cent he spends? Wouldn’t that create problems/quarrels among couple later on because of money that, the wife spends and the man would have problem with it?

Re: Would you consider marrying..

No. I don't believe in "extremes" in either way.

I would never marry someone who spends without thinking....but on the other hand....marrying someone who can NEVER spend a cent without analyzing it would be a deal breaker too. It is possible to enjoy life while saving enough to have a comfortable retirement.

I did ....it's torturous

Urgh, never.

I have a habit of spending slightly carelessly so I would appreciate someone who is kinda' careful with spending but someone who sits there counting and keeping track of each and every amount spent? HUGE TURN OFF! And really embarrassing too. Me and people like that just don't get along.

No because i am the exact opposite! And atleast in these things opposite def don’t work :D.

It’s such a turn off! I don’t mind people who like to keep a check on their money and be organised about their spendings however there is a fine line for that too. And since i am an implusive buyer, there wl be massive showdowns :eek:.

No way!!!! Alhamdulillah , my hubby is a good husband and never wants to know how much I spent and on what , having said this i am sensible with finance so he doesn't need to sorry.

I do know of couples, one in particular where the hubby is EXTREMELY kanjoos, and the problems in their marriage just never go away due to this. How can a woman ever be happy with a man like this is totally beyond me....she can't be.

All men are misers...you have to know how to get your way with them.

^ Yeah I am not good at that

Re: Would you consider marrying..

No. We'd never get along. I don't like having such friends either. They make things as simple as eating out miserable.

I've heard money is among the top reasons for divorce. But it's not just the issue of being "miserly".....there are other issues that come with this habit such as lack of consideration/respect and lack of trust......and you can't really have a relationship without these two qualities.

No..

Really? My dad is not like that, if my mom wasn't there to be practical and sensible he would just throw it away on gadgets and clothes, lol

BIGGEST TURN OFF EVER!I
I'm not saying the guy should spend each and every penny and not care but cheap guys are just annoying. They are the ones who bring bread to the house and when they start counting every bite you take out of it, its really annoying. My friend broke up with her BF for that reason lol! I totally support her, I remember last time he took us out to Ihop and me and my friend ended up pitching in because he kept on counting his money after seeing the bill. I support my friend's decision.

Re: Would you consider marrying..

Now why would I do that?

Re: Would you consider marrying..

No, never!..

Misers/kanjoos people totally lack respect and consideration of other peoples feelings. A husband that expects his wife to ask for money when she needs it is a control freak and likes lording his "power" over his wife, (and dominating her).

Why is he marrying a woman? He should just pick the lesser of two evils and try to reconcile Islam with homosexuality, I think that’s a more realistic fight. :halo:

Stop complaining about men being stingy. Go get a job of your own please. :chai:

of course this doesn’t apply to stay at home mothers Everyone else should have a lot more going for them than worrying about how to spend your hubby’s money.
