My first boyfriend was like that. I took him out to a fancy seafood dinner for his birthday that was expensive and for my birthday he bought me a $20 dress. Mind you the week previously he bought a friend we had a $100 outfit -.-
20 years ago i dated a guy who gave me something i fell in love with him all over again. he know i loved flowers and had never received flowers because i am allergic to them. on mothers day he took my 6 years old son to the dollar tree and together they decided to get me a glass rose so i could have flowers on mothers day like many moms do it might have only cost a dollar but that didn't matter to me at all. i still have that rose to this day it's shouldn't be about the money but the thought that goes into something that you don't have to say you want or expect.
Ross and other people like him are hypocrites. They'll give low effort, cheap gifts and take their partners out to cheap places to "save for marriage and a house" but will complain if treated the same way. They don't care about saving money: they just want to be lazy and cheap. And Ross at the end...ew! Hopefully no 20 year old will be with this guy or they'll be like the Reddit story about the 40 year old complaining to his finance over how 'expensive' her wedding dress is (the dress and veil was like $1000 and he wasn't even paying for it!)
He must be related to my dad as he’s the worst when it comes to things like this. I generally do the opposite of my parents when it comes to finding partners and how to treat them as they both have horrible track records.
Ross wouldn't do well under Dave Ramsey's philosophy!😂 Frugal is good, especially if you're in debt. But, there are times when you need to loosen up the purse strings and be more practical. He doesn't need to spend crazily, but he should lighten up! Ross is just stingy.
If i was gonna have a joint account with my partner, it would be for vacations, where we'd put a small amount of money in it once a month, and then when we have enough saved up to take a vacation, we go somewhere! And so on, and so on! As far as dates go, it might be best to have a date night once a month, and sometimes you both pay for something and sometimes one of you pays for it all, just depends on what's best at the time. That's just my opinion, though.
I can see pros & cons from both of their viewpoints. Going too far in either luxe or frugality is not healthy. The occasional splurge & fine dining are needed & necessary but, not all the time. You can only have so much stuff. Gotta find a balance in how things are done. Both of them suck & I wouldn't want to know either of them.
wow she complains about how much a damn cusion because it’s $5??? I would be grateful that a man ACTUALLY paid attention enough to my needs and things… geeze lady
Why should women just smile and be grateful for the scraps they're given by men but men can get iphones from the same woman??? Do you really think women deserve less than men rather than both parties getting good presents?
@ I get what you’re saying. I agree. I just believe they were both in the wrong honestly. He got her that because he took notice of things about her. I mean giving gifts can’t always be an even thing. I’m just trying to say be grateful for what you do get. Don’t make the other person feel terrible.
Hey Ross you can't take money with you when you die. You sound like a miser who will end up miserable because you don't understand that material things are not that important

That snoring at the beginning caught me off guard
He ain’t learned scrap from his breakup. Ah, who am I kidding? These dummies never learn.

That ending was......sad.
I thought it was the most entertaining (if pathetic) part of the whole too-long, repetitive story.
Agreed.
I think most folks would be ok with being frugile for a while when it's going to enable you to save up money for a home.
This guy is gonna be single for a loooooong time

This one made me laugh at the end.
I really liked this one. It shows how two-faced people can be & how some peilare never happy. Great conversation starter.
The ending is greatly disturbing
Wow, he really did that at the end. I just have no words.
He must be related to my dad as he’s the worst when it comes to things like this. I generally do the opposite of my parents when it comes to finding partners and how to treat them as they both have horrible track records.
I couldn't stop laughing at the end
Ross is a waste of time, space and just down right CHEAP!!! You deserve steak 🥩 for your birthday 🎂 Sis!!

If he could move enough to get to bed he wouldn't have collapsed onto the couch.
Is this going to be one of those unnecessarily long ones?
Whaaat?! Did he just admit to…you know what? I hope karma keeps him.
This seems to be an ESH episode. OP sounds like a major pain from minute one, and Ross is a cheapskate and a true a-double-s.
“ESH”?

This was a good story
No!! Don't ever have a joint account unless you are only putting a little in. He's using you and you need to wake up

Talons! Hahaha 😂 ya killing me here...ew.

It's more about the fact that she's willing to spoil him but he's not willing to spoil her.

wtf is with thy guy in the background at 53:20 who looks like they are pretending to smoke in VR?
