writes: I am in a great relationship with this man. It has recently dawned on me that since day one of our relationship, I've had to pay one thing or another for him, sometimes his car has a problem, debts from people, put fuel in the car, buy lunch, buy food for his house, borrow extra money from my colleagues that I've exhauseted all of them, had an accident out of town where he didn't know anybody and I had to call my friends to assist him giving him fuel back coz he didn't have any money and so many other things. I am a single mother and I look after my son alone and can no longer cope with this extra financial burden, I need a man in my life who will take care of me and my son and not the other way round. Do you think that things will get better, I mean, hey he's more educated than I am, has a MBA and a good job gets paid more than I do but it seems he can can't control his expenditure.I really like this guy and hope to marry him but this is making me hold back coz it might never change I'll end up paying for everything. please advise me

it seems like he needs financial advice, and you need relationship advice, i think it would be best if you sat down together and added up all your incomes and outcomes together.
If marriage is on the line he needs to realise that he will have a family to support, and that means he needs to make sacrifices.
if he cant, then is he really the one for you?
