Is it ok to ask something to your boyfriend even he's not your husband yet? You're not asking for money but just something from his money. Men, would you spend much money for your girlfriend?

One who loves does not count the cost but natural love spoils. You may not spend your boyfriend's money and not even if he becomes your husband. If you are serious with him at this stage of your relationship, you should consider him alredy as your husband, if so, everytime you want to spend, consider whether this would unnecessarily drain your mutual fund or not. The wife is the treasurer of the family, so you have to consider how you spend the money not for your own alone but for both of you.

i think to some extend its ok to ask ur boyfriend for some support. but depending solely on him before marriage may become the reason for strained relationship. rest u know u have to keep rapport in every relation

Thanks! I also think that way.. we really have to know our position and limitations, otherwise, it might affect the relationship..

I think it's fine if he wants to spend money on you! I would never ask my boyfriend to buy me something though, unless it was for a birthday or Christmas. I asked for a phone for Christmas last year and we went to get it yesterday. I kept feeling really guilty because the ones i was looking at were quite expensive. Even though he wants to buy me one i feel uncomfortable about spending his money.

I think it depends upon the relationship you have. How long have you been together? Maybe it's ok to ask if he has, just make sure that you do not force him.

We've been together for 7 years. He has money but sometimes he tells me that I spend a lot, but his not mad. He gives me stuffs that I would appreciate more if he asked first what I want. I love him so much and would still love him whatever happens. Thanks!

i think u can ask for money because when u love someone and he also loves u in same way then money should'nt me matter in between u and ur b.f
