:unsure: oh i dunno.

my boyfriend has always said that sometimes i spout out things that can be hurtful without me realizing it :blush: : and im more of a realist that him, i suppose.

my one pet peeve with him is money. if he has some, he will spend it. he has no notion of saving for a rainy day. he'll save for a holiday, but that's gonna get spent anyway. he doesnt understand saving for saving's sake. lol. as opposed to myself who always makes sure that i set aside some money each month for future emergencies. sometimes i have to lie to him and say that i have no money left when in fact the money is in my savings account just to stop him from spending it. hahahaha.

just a small issue, anyway. im trying to school him in the science of budgeting and saving. :cuckoo:

bless his heart though. he's more thoughtful, expressive and demonstrative than i am, definitely. im more constrained and held-back.

Keep saving and doing what you are doing. One day if you find out you dont love the guy as much as you say you do now,it wont matter so much financially..It doesn't sound like you have much in common anyway,although I could be wrong... (as usual)
Yon lang.

ahahaha. in all other matters we're the same. and i do love him with all my heart. he knows he's not good with money so he's trying to be more sensible and takes my advice. he makes up for my shortcomings and i make up for his. i try to be more demonstrative. haha. them practical issues in a relationship are a bit of a bother, arent they?

Yes they are...
Its a good test of what real love is... At least for the mean time.
Wish you both luck for the latter years!
