You are generous with love and emotion and gifts, and he has a father who needs a heart operation requiring many thousands. Do you give all possibly save a life, or, do you feel like a potential fool? Help, your opinions are respected. Thanks.

Straight up reply...Keep your money. It's his father not yours. And if and when his father dies lend your BF-Lover your shoulders..

It is a huge amount for him, a lesser amount for me, If he stops worrying, I stop worrying, and we can go on with life. Right now we are stymied. Help.

We don´t really have enough information about your relationship to give sound advice I feel. However, the fact that you have posed the question here, suggests you have doubts yourself, therefore I would be very wary.

If your relationship is an online one, I would say no, without a doubt. We´ve all read too many stories here about members losing money to hard up stories exactly like this. You would only be a fool if you fell for a scam.

Is he generous with emotions AND gifts like you?

Valid question. It is not an online relationship, though we met here. And now he is here in my arms most nights, a very hard working man, sending money home to his family afar. I have never received a gift from him, other than his time and attention, and he suddenly tells me he loves me, then asks me to help with money for his father^s operation. All the flags go up. Do you not agree? Or, maybe this is my chance to give something, that will really save a life? All comments appreciated. Please.

If he is so hard-working perhaps he can raise a loan to get the amount he needs. You are obviously worried about the circumstances so go with your instincts. If something doesn't sound right, it usually isn't.

sorry to say this but i really think this is an attempt to get money, and the operation story is one of the oldest in the book, believe me i am speaking from personal experience. DON'T DO IT AS IT WON'T STOP THERE

Some don't even go so far,as to propose Marriage.

Depends...

On lots of things.

How long you and he have been in a relationship, how involved you are.

You brought this all home. My Father would vehemently say "no", and I think that is the best advice I have ever gotten here, *Whst would your Father say?"

Merci

Cusp?

But I also want to say, no, no, no.

I know its bloody difficult all the assumtions and conclusions one can imagine --- better to say nothing i feel swisscookie is getting the picture--- she has been in business - and she no doubt has dealt with all types of customers some of them ethical some of them less so .

My 2c worth:

Have you met the sick father and know it's for real?

IF you can afford it, say you will consider PAYING THE BILL, and say that naturally you would want first to discuss the options with the hospital/surgeon. Ask who the surgeon would be and give him a call. Do not give your dude any cash!

That means if it's genuine you'll have done the right thing. And if not, you'll have found out the truth. I suspect the latter, but you ever know.

Good idea to pay the hospital direct, it is in another country, of course.

All the comments here are making me see this in a new light.
