Supporting Your Man Financially by aminalib(f): 9:55pm On Jan 16, 2011
how long do you think its ok to support your man financially before you say enough is enough. I have a good friend, she just came out of nursing school, she is hispanic and her boyfriend is white, ok so she makes about 20.00 an hour (which is not much if u live in Boston based on rent and so she and the guy live with her mother) so anyways she is struggling because she has to pay for this guys court fees( he got into some shiit with the law)and also pay his child support(he has 3 kids), the last time he worked was in 2001.and she met him in 2008, he is a plumber and with the union but she says he cant find a job(which i do not believe if he is with the union) why cant he go back to school for a new profession?, sometimes i feel to tell her she is being taken advantage off, what do you guys think.

She pays his child support,his court fees,he stays wit her mom & 2 top it all off he hasnt worked since 2001? Amazing. Dat guy is a loafer & a parasite who has made up his mind 2 suck her dry. D sooner she kicks his butt out,d beta it will be 4 her. Dis isnt luv,dis is s.t.u.p.idity.

She is being suckered.
Re: Supporting Your Man Financially by Dsense(m): 10:25pm On Jan 16, 2011
OP.
I think the guy is just making use of her (sucking her to the bones),But at the same time he might had seeked for jobs and couldn't find any,Or he's having an issue with the union.Because i also believe if you are working with a union then you should be able to get jobs at anytime .So just advise your friend to ask her fiance to go for another profession or she herself should help him try for a job!

stay out of their biz because your friend already knows what she is willing to tolerate. if she is capable of dating a jobless bum with 3 kids who hasn't worked since 2001 and claims to be with a union then she needs no push or advice. when she gets to the level of not being able to take it anymore she will kick him to the curb without anyone telling her

^^^As much as u are roughshod I do agree wit u to an extent.
OP ur friend is obviously a nice lady being leeched on. Have u asked her how she feels about it? If she is suffering n smiling maybe she doesn't need any help but if she cries out then u can tell her to make him shape up or ship out.

Re: Supporting Your Man Financially by Nobody: 4:58am On Jan 17, 2011
Financially taking care of one's man is not wrong but being used in the process is the issue. If he is doing for her but due to certain circumstances he is unable to help financially, then by all means, I'd support him but if is only interested in spending money and sitting on his ass, then deuces smiley!

Are you sure your jamaican?? Your the first jamaican I know to ever say such!

but anyways thats beside the point, financially taking care of your man is wrong! in every area and every aspect. It sounds wrong! Just wrong! wrong wrong wrong! lol
Would you pursue a relationship with ANY MAN (except for trey songz grin) knowing you will be his sole provider? Would it make sense for ANY WOMAN to marry a man incapable of financially taking care of herself? Would you be proud of your daughter is you knew she was financially responsible for her man? Proud of your son having his woman financially responsible for him??

And for all you know this man may not actually be using he, what if hes not? what is he genuinely loves her, and genuinely has problems, will that make what shes doing sensible?

NOTE: I am 50% Jamaican! Maroonian to be exact!  grin (takes a bow!) besides there a plenty Jamo queens out there who take care of their men financially - some taken for a ride and some rightfully appreciated.

Ok, secondly, I specifically said depending on "certain circumstances" meaning disability/physical/health related. We cannot help who we love therefore should I fall in love with a handicapped man or even a man who has been laid off for that matter, out of my love for him and knowing he would do for me if the situation was reversed, I would without hesitation! I would so it all for him so long as he is taking care of household, s3xual lol, and emotional needs I may have as his other half and is more than willing to show his appreciation. A slob/lazy backside man will never last with me as I am about taking care of business but if it is necessary then so be it. I don't live for others so I don't care how I am seen.

Re: Supporting Your Man Financially by Nobody: 5:25am On Jan 17, 2011
MsDarkskin seems diff from the jamaicans I know, no totally a bad thing.

Definitely! if he had a disability or condition that rendered him incapable of actually working and making any money, definitely! Its not his fault!

yea but if one is financally strappin down for her man I wouldnt know what else to call it?
Re: Supporting Your Man Financially by Nobody: 5:31am On Jan 17, 2011
@Queen, good so we understand each other then. No support for a bum/scrub!  wink We however differ outside of that in terms of opinions on what is acceptable and what's not but it's kewl. btw Jamaican men IN Jamaica do take care of business and their women however, they like to play the role of "lover/FATHER" that's the only curse of having a man esp. Jamaican man, who makes more money.  undecided

yea i agree! your 100% right! thats what my friend and hairdresser told me. That the men in jamaica are all rounders! they work hard and take care of the family! But the jamaican men abroad. . , . . . . . . whooooo! o God! lol
Re: Supporting Your Man Financially by Africanqueen2(f): 6:34am On Jan 17, 2011
Helping out a guy is not wrong so long as he's making efforts to get on his feet but helping out a parasite is another thing.
What more does he want. . . A girl who warms his bed and pays his bill without complaining. . . He'll relax and enjoy d show. This kind of guys is what you fleet out of your life like mosquito without looking back. He's not ready to work and he won't work. Your friend needs divine intervention. . . She should drop d guy like hot coal.

Re: Supporting Your Man Financially by ZIMDRILL(m): 11:19am On Jan 17, 2011
guys guys

from the scenario we have been given the guy is crap the woman should leave

but if it was supporting in the sense that he doesnt have money at that time then there is nothing wrong with it

pliz lets try to seperate those scenarios


why is it that it is fuss whenever table are turned (but i dont mean in the scenario we have been given) i mean where the guy is broke and has to borrow from his girfriend

I've not always had it this good, but, even when I was down I never depended on any babe. Its simply grotesque for a guy to depend on his babe! SMH!

Where is the self esteem
