Girlfriend gets mad at me because I can't afford an apartment?

OK so I had a talk with my dad about getting money for the apartment for my girlfriend and my dad says he doesn't have that much money

Then my dad argue with me and said to me why don't I just find a job and get one because I was in school and he is paying for everything

So then when I try to explain to her she tells me that she doesn't want to hear the full story, or she doesn't care

So then the reason why I ended up telling her the full story she just gets mad at me and tells me I ruined her day

Now the reason why I told her is because she complains alot and we have not come up with a solution

My plan was using some of my loan money and some of my dad's money and she can tell her parents or bank to pay off the rest

    It would be crazy to use your loan money for an apartment. Don't do it. You need that money for your education (or whatever you borrowed it for). You're going to have to pay it back. And it won't last forever. When the loan money runs out, you'll end up being evicted--and then you'll still have to pay back the loan and any money you owe the landlord. You could end up in a lot of trouble that will mess up your life for many years.

    Also, you cannot expect your father to pay. When you move out, that means you're independent. It is not reasonable at all to expect him to pay so you can shack up with your girlfriend.

    It sounds like your girlfriend is putting a lot of pressure on you. Instead of telling her, "I can't afford this and you should not be expecting me to support you," you're caving into her.

    Please think about what you're doing. I agree with everyone else. She is using you. If she cared about you, she wouldn't be pressuring you to spend money you can't afford.

    If you are getting your school paid for and you're getting housing from your dad, then you're incredibly lucky. Don't get into a lot of debt to live with a woman who has no common sense and who doesn't care if you get into debt or stress your father out.

    no you don't do this. first you're in school. second, you haven't earn money yet, which is not easy. your dad has a point, paying your school fees isn't easy, you just don't know what he does outside to earn that money every month. if you're serious, you will have to finish school and find a job. a job doesn't give you that much money to buy apartment instantly so you'll have to save and eat less. and loan don't do much too cuz in the end you'll have to pay. besides, i think you are one smart guy but can't you see your gf is sort of using you? i know you'll say that she's not, but if she's a good gal, she wouldn't ask you to fork out money for an apartment, and if you're a good son, you woulnd't go asking your dad for money, for this same reason? do you still have heart? did your gf pay your fees? did she feed you? no, partners come and go, but family stay. you're damn right, she is complaining to much and no solution plan at all. she's using you. seriously.

    If you can't afford an apartment, you're not mature enough to have one.

    One gets an apartment when one has a job and a way to support oneself. Begging for money from your parents, hers, and using college loans is silly.

    What about your girlfriend? Maybe she should get off her rump and get a job, earn her own money, and rent her own apartment.

    So, she wants you to get her an apartment? Why can't she get one herself? Sounds like she's just using you.

    parents today are useless. the baby boomers had the best parents but somehow turned the baby boomers into useless parents, and the generation x into useless parents who have emo issues and still feel like children. your girlfriend sounds demanding, she probably started out understanding and compassionate, but now she's become different, girls are like this these days. none of it is healthy for you. I would suggest working as soon as possible, buy a place for you alone, forget about girls until you're stable on your own (or for good) they can offer you nothing except stress, and pain. they start out loving and full of passion, but become cold hearted demanding psychos.

    Begin saving and pay for the apartment yourself.

    And avoid adultery by waiting until you marry her before ...
