Boyfriend of 10 months asks girlfriend to lend him $7K from her 401K despite not paying her back the $250 she already lent him: 'The first loan was a test'

He can't even pay back $250. What makes her think she should lend him thousands of dollars?

Asking for money early in a relationship is a huge red flag. If someone you've been dating for less than a year relies on you for financial support, they might be after your money more than they're after love. If someone is struggling so much that they can't pay their bills or afford groceries, they probably should focus on generating more income instead of trying to find a partner who will solve their problems for them. For many people, it's easier to rely on a boyfriend or girlfriend instead of making changes in their lives to ensure they can support themselves. If their cash cow leaves them for greener pastures, they'll quickly move onto the next one.

It's essential to pay attention to your partner's relationship with money from the beginning of your relationship. Do they expect you to buy them multiple expensive dinners every week? Do they prioritize wants over needs and struggle to pay their bills as a result? Are they asking you for money and promising they'll pay you back?
