I got this email today and I just can’t believe this woman (probably, hopefully, a girl) isn’t pulling my leg.

Dear Kara,
My boyfriend is always asking me for money even when he has it, and to make matters worse I just recently discovered that he sends money to some other girls. Is this a healthy relationship and what would u advise I do?
Concerned,
W. S.

I know women really are this lame when it comes to men but I’m always amazed when I see this kind of behavior. It’s women like this that give wanting to be with a man such a bad rep. When a woman has no self-esteem and is this desparate to be with someone, anyone, it makes my heart break. And to be so clueless as to think that there is even the slightest chance that this is okay.

It’s never a good idea to mix money in the beginning of a relationship. After you’ve become established and trust each other, it might be okay for a one time loan but if another loan is requested before the first one is paid off yet, that’s a recipe for disaster.

Does anyone disagree with my advice? Let me know.

With much love,
Kara
