Nice Guy Provider or Just Plain Sucker?
Excerpt from a post:
My girlfriend of one year has two kids (son 6, daughter 4) from two "thugs" (her own admission). Neither of these lowlife losers have been remotely active in their kids' lives. When she was involved with these losers, then she provided everything for them (money for beer, movies, clothes, food, etc..). She admitted that she literally took care of these losers because she truly loved them and really wanted to make those relationships "work".
As a result, my girlfriend claims that she will never be taken for granted by another man again. Initially I understood her viewpoint so I continued to love, respect and spoil her as I've done with past girlfriends. I've been especially kind and loving to her kids as well (playing Santa at Christmas, birthday presents and spending quality time with them).
Last month, I asked my girlfriend to "loan" me some money ($250.00) for a late car payment. I knew that she had the money to loan to me so I told her that I would repay her on the following Friday. She simply said, "No, you need to work something out !" Angrily I reminded her that I've done more for her than both of her lowlife sperm donors together. I reminded her that I intended to repay her for the loan. Finally, I asked her to leave my home so that I could cool down.
Her loser sperm donors got the royal treatment and treated her like crap. I "step up" and treat like a real man should and she abandoned me in my (temporary) time of need.
What should I do?

Sounds like a very judgmental character, continually referring to her exes as losers.
Also sounds he has a bit of entitlement going on. All that stuff he did for her and her kids is great. Kudos to him. But the fact that he feels entitled to a loan for this stuff is a bit out of line IMO. True, some couples start sharing finances at this point. But I don't think it becomes an expectation until they get married. His girlfriend is setting a boundary and maintaining it. And this guy's throwing a fit because his girlfriend has a boundary. Is he doing all this stuff because he WANTS to? Or is he doing it to be the better guy and get loans? If all his "giving" is really a hidden contract to get stuff in the future(which qualifies as being manipulative), is he really the better guy?
Yes, there are certain expectations in serious relationships. Not getting cheated on is one of them. Being available, both emotionally and sexually(although not on-demand), is one of them. But loans are not.
