You're happy with your man , and he just proposed to you in a very unexpected way. You want to immediately answer “I do” , but there is one reason that makes you hesitate: he's a financial disaster. You may say yes, but not until you do the following three things.
Discussing Financial Problems Seriously
You are well aware that his hobby of hanging out with friends is often supported by credit cards, but you also know that he does not like to be confronted with serious things. Well , instead of saying, "I don't like your habit of wasting money," you'd better start with, "You never worry about how much you owe, let alone the interest you have to pay?" The goal is to start a discussion, not a confrontation.
Create a Diversion
Okay, no one likes a partner who is too pushy; especially those who constantly make interactions in relationships revolve around money. So instead of constantly complaining and pouting about his bad habits, find a diversion. If he likes to eat out, come up with the idea of eating at home, for example, three times a week. Show him that you also look very sexy in an apron. If you are not used to cooking, buy a book or browse the internet for how to make his favorite food. You get the point: Create opportunities so that he can reduce expenses.
Be a Tough Lady
Well, okay, Cosmo said that no one likes a pushy partner , but if your good intentions don't work out because he doesn't feel anything is wrong, then maybe it's time for you to take a firm stance and speak up. If he really loves you then he will change his (bad) behavior . If not—it's time to say buh-bye , ladies ! "Someone who can't treat money with respect in the future won't be able to treat you with respect," says financial expert Suze Orman.
