29-year-old man refuses to keep sending money to his partner's mother, who requests large amounts of cash for countless luxury items: ‘This constant financial support is draining’

Making good money in this economy is a feat, so pat yourself on the back if you've got a chunky savings account with a good amount of zeroes.

In relationships, when do you start sharing finances? Do you keep your cash separate until one of you decides to put a ring on the other's finger, or do you stay with Chase while your partner banks with TD? This is a hot discussion topic in relationship forums, but the bottom line is this: Only share finances with someone you know you can trust. Trust is an ever-growing feeling, sure, but most people should probably wait until they're legally bound to their better half. If they aren't, their partner's mother might be pocket-watching and taking what's not hers. 

Sadly, such is the case in this next story. A man, after years of giving his partner's mother money, refuses to continue this one-way advantageous deal between himself and his partner's mother. He supposes that the reason for this "norm" is cultural difference, but he no longer feels comfortable dishing out hundreds so his partner's mom can go on a trip or score the newest iPhone. We say: Good for him. Scroll to read.
