Thinking about breaking up with Gf.

[area51_for_psx]

Hi guys

Have a tough choice to make, I am thinking of breaking up with my long term girlfriend. We will be going for 2 years next friday and I am thinking of breaking up with her,

I am thinking of breaking up with her due to my financial situation. I never have any money to bring her out or treat her. I dont even think I will be able to bring her out for dinner next week. I have an IVA in place and owe money to my parents and all. And at the moment mum gets my pay in and pays all my bills and then gives me £40-50 a week to live on..This is due to me gambling all my money a few months ago as I was chasing the dream of winning money. LOL that doesnt work...

I think my girlfriend deserves better, She is a lovely girl and would do anything for me but she is from a well off family and she deserves someone that can bring her out for treats and stuff. i cant expect her to wait around for me to sort out my fiances as they wouldnt be sorted for at least 5years.

Its been getting worse recently with me having no money to go out and enjoy ourselves. The money that I do get ends up going to my mates who I owe money to. For example I got £50 last night and owe £40 off that to a mate for lending me it to get the girlfriend a present for our 2 years.

I cant keep doing this to her. Being skint and her having to suffer as well as she very rarley goes out without me even though she can afford to. We dont live together or anything like that so I think she should be out enjoying herself when she is young ( We are both 23)

No idea why I am writing this. Suppose I am just looking to rant. Anyone have any views? Am I doing the right thing?

Yeah she knows I am broke. And when we do go out we both pay our own way. But since Ive no money she doesnt go out when I dont go out. So I feel like I am holding her back from having fun.

I suppose next week is annoying me since the bloke should take his girl out on there 2years but I cant

Live with my parents so cooking her a romantic meal doesnt really work with my parents walking about the house. And the bath together no chance.

no underlying issues we get on great.

Her parents are more strict than mine.

Going to talk to her tonight when I get out of tech.

It's only money! The OP sounds like a little bit of a sob story to be honest. I have felt the same sometimes about different things. Sometimes you just have to stop feeling sorry for yourself, pick yourself up, get a job and get on with it. Why would she dump you for having no money anyway? If it's "real love" so to speak, nothing should stand in the way.

I have a full time job. If you are going to have a go read the thread...

She isnt financialy responsible for me I work full time. She just manages my money as was gambling too much a while ago but this is stopped now. But we had agreeded it would be like this for 6months at least so i could sort my gambling out
