Tight Partner (34)
irish78eyes: Just ended a relationship because my partner was tight...was unable to say it straight...awkward
Together since May. I'm a single mother, defo a 50/50 girl but should I pay for dinner, take out etc..all the time. Apart from that the relationship was great but can't get past the tightness...its a shame

50/50 is very fair or taking it in turns to pay works too...

One2note: I wouldn't dismiss a partner if she was tight!
In fact, the tighter the better!

KNenagh: Taking advantage of someone financially is not ok - but if the relationship was great, why didn't you talk to him about it?
I know it's sometimes hard to talk about "the elephant in the room" - but yeah, no gifts to the significant other and the kid is pretty odd though...

DeeDer replt:Well done for getting out of that relationship.
Few things uglier in a human than meanness.
Best of luck finding someone decent.

Pardon me for wading in, but I agree with both these replies. If the "significant other" ISN'T "significant" ENOUGH for SOME "consideration", then the relationship is NEVER going to be a "good" one! And "moving on" seems to be the ONLY option! If there's NO communication, it's just NOT going to "happen".

MsContessa: You cannot be taken advantage of by another without your permission....
I would use the term "permission", Contessa. I'd say "unless you allowed it". Allowing is NOT NECESSARILY "permission". Permission IMPLIES some degree of "approval".

LeeCharming: ...Time is a good healer
No offense meant, Lee, but I HATE this quote! I UNDERSTAND it, but it's NOT "time" that "heals". It's the person, themself, usually! And, in most cases, it's NOT "healing", it's "survival", and "getting on" with life. The saying only came about because it TAKES "time", for that healing to occur! To LEAVE the "pain" behind.
"Time heals all wounds." works BOTH ways! "Time wounds all heals!" All that saying signifies is that "time" (which is a man created figment of our imaginations, ANYWAY) continues to pass, while our lives march on.
Again, no offense meant, and I understand the sentiment being expressed, but that's a STUPID quotation!

I think the term "permission" is correct. Paying for everything, time and time again, over many months, without any form of reciprocation is permitting that other person to take advantage. The poster finally withdrew her permission from him to take advantage! Given that she was aware of his selfishness from the start, she could have done that at any time but choose not to... In life, we often receive a lesson or a blessing..

You did the right thing. No way will I be with a man who is stingy.
