Posted: 4/8/2008 6:57:22 PM | I don't understand the question?
She gave you some money for fixing her stuff, but because it wasn't as much as you thought you deserved, you dumped her?
Good for her...now she can spend that money on better things. | |

While I agree you should have been compensated like with some money or maybe even her cooking or taking you to dinner, but once you agreed to do it for free or a set amount, it's not cool to ask for more money. Sounds like you're jealous she won some money and didn't want to share with you, though you've dated for two years. | |

People lose all perspective with sudden fame or money.
I'm not understanding the last part of your post. She gave you $102.00 for the help you gave her and this is pathetic? (did I understand you correctly), and it is pathetic as opposed to what .. instead? What is the "SOMETHING" you would have done -- who are you referring to Sears? or her?
What I would have done with 10K sudden cash -- pay bills -- very practical stuff. Any more than 10K in really huge amounts -- help my kids with their bills too, and maybe a few close friends, after that ... invest in land, a business I'm wanting to launch, and someone to manage it while I travel Europe and then South America. Oh, and tip heavily !! | |

Umm...exactly how much time transpired between her win and you dumping her?
For all you know she's booked a surprise holiday for you both and now that you've dumped her for not doing "something"...you'll never know.
Besides...the thing is...its HER win and HER money... you're only kickin up because you EXPECT.
And when someone's like that...it kinda takes the sails outta wanting to give them anything
Thats as bad as one family member winning the lottery...and next minute old aquaintances become best friends...and family members you see once a year get on the phone.
Its different if you're co-habitating or married...I consider it an "us" win. So its "our" money.
When you do something nice for somebody...you're not supposed to be using it as a bargaining tool to get something else.

Posted: 4/8/2008 7:01:34 PM | Sounds like you named yourself accurately on this site, OP...
Doing a favor for a friend, good. Friend giving you payment for it, unusual, but ok. Dumping her because it wasn't a big enough cut of her casino winnings?
Cheaptrik indeed. | |

ok, I was seeing this woman for nearly two years...
shes a ballistic alcoholic, an ego maniac, and extremely selfish, those are facts.
So, knowing those facts OP...why on earth does her behavior with the 20K shock you? | |

Posted: 4/8/2008 7:23:43 PM | | I wouldve given her a chunk, she was my oartner, i wouldnt even have spent the damned money, wouldve banked it. to me its a trust thing, money....so they say, is the root of all evil today. there are some older posts from last year about our "relationship", one named... "i want out of this alcoholic nightmare" | |

Posted: 4/8/2008 7:44:42 PM | Sounds like sour grapes to me. You knew the whole time (or at least, part of it) that you were with her, that she was "a ballistic alcoholic, an ego maniac, and extremely selfish..." and yet the reason you dump her is because... she wouldn't share her money with you?
It doesn't really matter what you would have done with it. Like it or not, this was her money. And it's odd that you chose to cut her loose only after she refused to share the wealth. That just begs the question... why were you sticking around prior to this? Just seems like a very poor reason to break up with someone. Were you looking for an excuse to do it?
In any case, next time around, pick someone who doesn't gamble. Then there's less of a chance for "karma" and the "root of all evil" to enter into your relationship. | |

is it just me or is this person that frekkin pathetic?
I think it's just you...
I dont want her money
Then I don't get it....what did you want from her????
I have done tons for her ass
Do you normally do things for people, and expect something in return?
I wouldve given her a chunk, she was my oartner
Ohhhh, so you were expecting a chunk of change from her.
After dating the woman for 2 years, and her being an alcoholic, you should have known better then to assume ANYone with an addiction is responsible with money. Sounds to me like you just wanted an out of the relationship, and you found it. You should be thanking her for that.

Posted: 4/8/2008 8:21:26 PM | Do you share your income tax return?
Do you share your bonus if your eligible for one?
Do you share basic everyday expenses?
If the answer to any of these are NO then you are no better then her. Your expenses are separate your finances are separate
But please lets now talk about how your a nice guy and all women are gold diggers - I need a laugh - lets make this her fault and not the fault of a selfish greedy person such as you | |

Actually, it's "the LOVE of money" that is the root of all evil, and if you were with a ballistic alcoholic for 2 years, and you knew she was selfish, why the hell did you expect anything different? | |

Posted: 4/8/2008 8:35:56 PM | | Sounds like money does matter to you. Someone you've been friends with for almost two years? Fix her things as a friend, no need to hold your hand out. Just help out because you're a friend and friendship is your payment. Man, friends are valuable and always worth an investment of your time. Count your friggin blessings... | |
