Would it be alright to borrow money from your partner/bf or gf that is intended for good purposes, think he/she might not be offended once you borrowed from him/her?

I wouldn't advise doing this unless you have a very good relationship with either b/f or bf. What I mean by a good relationship with BF is going strong for a couple of years and you know for sure you will stay together. As for a BFF, I mean you know you can count on them for anything and they will be there no matter what. Otherwise, DO NOT ASK TO BORROW Money

I totally agree with you. If the relationship is already established and you both trust each other then i think that would be the time that you can already lend money you your partner.

i think there is nothing wrong to borrow money from each other. just make sure that you know it is borrowed and has to be returned. :D

My boyfriend and I borrow money from each other all the time. Its not a taken advantage thing where we borrow 10,000 to buy shoes or something, but just like if he needs gas money or I need money to grab a bite to eat at work we lend each other money. His money is his money, my money is my money, but we don't mind sharing it between us.

Yes, for me it's okay for my boyfriend to borrow money from me and I don't find it offending especially when it will be used for good. I just have this mentality that help those who are in need whether he's a boyfriend or not Money is just money.

hi sheanne! i think its just fine to borrow from each other especially when the money is used for good purposes,it should be alright especially if you trust each other..if u can't lend money to your partner maybe there is some trust issue between you and your partner.. if you need money don't hesitate to borrow money from your partner, i don't think it would be a big deal.me and my gf borrow money from each other and it's not a big deal to us, as long the money is spent wisely..good luck,

you should only borrow money from your partner if you are at that point of a relationship where you are completely comfortable with each other. the point where you and your partner are comfortable borrowing from each other. before you reach that point in a relationship then you might not know whether your partner wants to help you out in monetary terms or not. but if you do borrow from yoyur partner, you should always pay them back as you promised and not take advantage of your relationship.

HI, I am married and most of the incomes are going to my account and my husband just ask me for it when he needs. well, it doesn't mean I am too control on this but he is a big spender so, I have to becareful with that. when I was dating him, I never borrow his money... only give him some to spend. But I guess it is alright to borrow it cuz u need it for important thing that u have to do. just sit down and explain why u want to borrow it
