Should I call it off??

I am dating this girl for an arranged marriage setup, we have met multiple times(6-7 times) and almost all the time, i paid for it. She did not even attempt to pay or even ask for it.

In another instance, she took me to a mud doll shop yesterday and I had no idea she was taking me there. She chose some mud doll which cost 2k and asked me to pay for it.

It's really putting me off, is it normal or should I call it off???

So, here is the update.

#1 Yesterday we met to have a conversation about what happened. She said, I am not going to split the bill. Instead,

2# My reasoning was, I have only known her for a couple of months, so how should I know if the other person can support me, if the person doesn't care about small things then how would I know if that person will help me in my larger events in life. that's a basic thing right. I believe that, how you do anything is how you do everything.

  • She doesn't have an answer for that.

Does she have a job? Or is she dependent on parents?

Wait a minute "call it off" comments.

As it is an arranged marriage you need to clear about few things .

First, set a meeting with her and be clear about your financial goals to her. Even u r romeo Juliet, proper money management and been clear on it, is atmost important.

If you are looking for a women, who can pay her bills. Be clear of the what with your family too. Don't shy away, it's your damn money!

She should be well aware of where you stand in terms of money.

Some girls are very materialistic beacuse either there spoiled right from childhood or in childhood they were given anything asked by parents. So if this is just a behavioral thing, don't loose her beacuse of this. It can be learnt with proper discussion.

There are few tedtalks which discuss on the important questions to be discussed among couples before marriage.

I agree. Have a frank chat with her and with parents.

In any case, making someone buy you things after a few meetings might be indicative of entitled behaviour

Its ur and only feeling and calling all can jus give viewpoints from their perspective but ur d one with her tell how she makes u feel, has she behaved good, and ofcourse if she asked you to buy wutever and u bought her then its u also took d initiative cmon we dont buy things easily for any tom dick harry some 1 should matter in our life FEELING BRO then comes d money part

@StupendousNightmare So do men, Men too want someone who can see them as human first and provider later. We are human too, we too have life pressures even more than women. Can't i expect a person be little compassionate how "Its fine, he did many times. Let me do it once" and we men love it. You do it once and we will make sure we will do it for ever.

Firstly, don't be judgemental or assumptive about anything at this point. I suggest be open and honest with her. Tell her that you are currently not ok spending too much on such expenses due to limited finances (or may be you are running on a set budget due to which you cannot afford going too much out of the way and spend on unplanned things). Then see how is her reaction, if she is happy about it or she doesn't like such openess and call it as rude or attitude. Your perfect partner is the one who understands you and be with you in any situation. But to make her understand, you need to be open. I hope good for both of you.

Not sure if it is right, But i have met other girls before and we use to fight to pay the bill. Atleast they would ask if we should split. But i never let anyone pay. But i believe, "How you do anything is how you do everything". So if someone can't think about this now, How will they even think about me on later stages.

its been 2 days, i havn't heard anything from her or her parents. I even told this to her parents when they visited our house to discuss our engagement.

Not too happy with how thinks are going.

I really don’t understand
I went through all the comments saying call it off or she is a red flag
Omg
You guys , please
If you are looking at your future wife , I mean spending on her is the least you can do ( I mean if you want her to be your wife )
I think people have just become robots and see every other person as gold diggers
But you guys please grow up, not everyone is the same
I will tell one thing
My mom and dad both are working , till now in there 25 years of happy marriage
My dad never ever asked her to spend a single nickel on anything let alone had a thought of it , I was brought up in such a environment , for me if I see someone as my future husband HE NEEDS TO SPEND on me
And my DAD has pampered my mom and me like any thing
My mom has been working for 26 years
Till now not even a single penny has been drawn out of her account ( unless any investments)
But if you are financially weak or if you have some prior commitments you have about the money , you should start sharing , if she is the right one she will understand

@Jerry1 We men would love to spend everything on right women not on everyone and it is a arrange marriage, i want to be sure if they are the right one.
