I have been dating a guy for about four months now and in most ways our realaionship is great. He generally treat me well, and he is always wanting to help me out with financial issues if I am broke. The problem is that he is a college graduate and does not have a job. His car is "broke", and he constantly wants me to loan him money so that he can go gamble. If I do surrender to his request he does pay me back the amount loaned, but sometimes he wants to borrow my bill money and there is a chance of him loosing. Everytime that I tell him he needs to go get his car fixed, he tells me that this or that is being done. I am a patient person but i do not like to be had, should I just throw in the towel or should I give this grad another chance???

Don't give yourself away (or your money) to stay in a relationship or to keep a guy.

He borrows money to gamble? That's a HUGE RED FLAG.

Yikes. Gambling can turn into an addiction ruining finances and relationships. Are you sure you want to keep seeing him?
