[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you guys are really young (like just graduated college), if after three years you're not comfortable helping her out when she's in a financial bind even though you could, that means you're not sure whether you're going to be with her for the long haul. If someone were still unsure about me after three years, I'd take it as a sign it's time to move on.[/quote]

That's one interpretation. It's not for me.  I have two issues with it.

First is gender roles.  I can only imagine if a woman was posting about her boyfriend asking for "help" because he's in debt.  I think we'd be ALL OVER saying that this is a loser she needs to dump and and move on.

Second, before I'd get behind this interpretation, I'd want to know more about what this girlfriend has offered OP throughout the course of their relationship.  I mean on all fronts, not just financially.  Everyone needs help sometimes, and give and take is important.  Is she there for him? Would she do the same for him if the situation is reversed?  How did this happen (the debt) and has she been responsible?
