!^@*&!% my GF is such an idiot sometimes!

[BigToque]

My GF owes me $95 for some mice I bought her and $5 for something else. She owes me $100.

I owe her $10 for a social ticket she bought me last night.

Thus, she owes me $90 total.

I just got in a huge fight with her because I tried explaining this simple math and she keeps saying "No, I'll pay you what I owe you" (and yes, she acknowldeges that she owes me $95 and $5)...

@^#%^# I hate it when retarded sh!t like this ruins my saturday. I really wanted to reach through the phone and throw a calculator at her.

(She graduated with a 4.15 GPA and is on her way to med school so I know she isn't an idiot... )

If she was your girlfriend, she wouldn't owe you sh!t.

That you would forget she owes you money because she's your girlfriend and you're supposed to be nice to her.
You probably buy her meals and presents and stuff...

Honestly... i have been with my GF for 3 years already, and we split the rent bill water heating etc. We are both in school so we need to split everything failry and we often owe eachother money.


Once your married and share the same bank account THEN you dont owe either one sh1t

im with you. my best friend and his girl have been going out for years and still pay for their own share of stuff. granted, theres the occassional time he'll take her out and pay for everything, but most of the time its pony up your own dough for what you ordered. ive started getting the same way and to be honest, it feels great. cheers to that :beer:

Wow. Your life is hard.

GPA means nothing. Both the people that are graduating with 4.0s in my school have zero common sense.

I buy tons of of stuff for her, take her out, etc. That's not the issue here.

The issue here isn't even about money. She knows she owes me $90, just she won't acknowledge it as $90, she just says "I'll pay you what I owe you"

 

[Midlander]

You're lucky she doesn't demand the $10 you owe her and just forget about the money she owes you.

I guess I fail to see the big deal.

This is the way things are with me and my GF as well. We split most things down the middle.

When we go out for dinner, movies or other activities, I pay for most of the stuff, but thats usually because I'm the one asking her to go out. It's my treat.

The "big deal" is that I explained to her that I didn't need to give her $10 and have her give me $100, when she could just give me $90. This was a big problem for her for some reason unknown to me.

Aparently I did something wrong

 

[DainBramaged]

So, if I understand correctly, it's not that she doesn't understand that she owes you $90, it's that she refuses to say those exact words?

i don't get the big fvckin' deal.

A financial advisor I know who has a lot of clients who are doctors has found that doctors and med school students have a terrible understanding of how to handle their finances. I'm not saying all of them, just this person's experience over the years.

Something along those lines. I'm not sure I understand the problem. She just got pissed off because I tried explaining why she only owes me $90 and we didn't have to have me give her $10, and then have her give me $100.

It's retarded, and it has really annoyed me. My saturday was going just fine and then *BAM*.

I hate those stupid arguments that always end up ruining a good time. Like debating about whether or not you should tip on the total check amount or the pre-tax amount.

its a big deal when you try to simply explain something to somoene and they cant understand the basic concept that youre trying to get across to them.

its not the end of the world, but its frustrating.

ill give you an example:

my wife left me 5 months ago, she moved to another city, we have 2 children and they live with me most of the time. her grandmother comes here to watch the kids a few days a week, shes been doing this for over a year. she will *not* accept payment.

so we got her a cellphone. we dont have a landline, and decided wed get her a cellphone line so she could have it on her at all times, especially when watching the kids. its not much, 45 or so a month, so well treat her to dinner sometimes as well, but she just wont accept money.

when my wife moved out, i had a cellphone account under her name, so did her grandmother. i moved my phone to my sisters account because it was cheaper. i told my wife id pay for *half* of her grandmothers cellphone bill each month, and she could pay all of her own bill and the remaining half of her grandmothers bill. she agreed to this.

i have since paid half of her grandmothers bill each month and there has been no problem between us in regards to that, until yesterday. i owe her for 2 months on her grandmothers bill (at half of the bill each, so essentially i owe her one entire months worth of her grandmothers bill)

she called yesterday, i told her id pay what i owed next week, and she replied "well i want more than 25 dollars"

i said "of course, ill give you one entire months bill since i owe 2 months of half a bill for her, im sorry im behind, ill have it to you monday"

"well its not *just* 25 dollars"

i then explained i never mentioned a number, that id look at her bill, and write her a check for one month of her grandmothers expenses. again she said "well its not just 25 dollars"

i did this 4 times, never mentioning an amount, and she kept insisting i had limited it to 25 dollars.

it was frustrating, in fact it was immensly frustrating: i spent almost 10 minutes with this woman on the telephone over this.

thats the problem here: its a pain in the ass to explain something simple to someone only to have them never, ever understand what youre talking about *because they werent listening to you in the first place*
