What Are You Thinking About?

[_Cathy_]

For me, it's not only about the money. What defines "high maintenance" for me is one that requires a greater-than-acceptable amount of time, effort, and money. I think everyone's threshold for each factor is different. Depende na lang talaga if mapasensya/mapagbigay ka hehehe.

Exactly. I define myself as a low maintenance GF. Because I never demanded time, effort and money. I had so little demand that I think it destroyed my self esteem I think yung BF ko of 5 years karma ko hehehe

Example, my then bf NEVER drove for me anywhere. I prefer to drive myself because I like the independence and having control of my time. But in the few times that I needed someone to drive me eg hospital or no car available - he never did that for me. There was an instance when I needed to go to the ER. My whole family was abroad at that time. He lives close to me but when I asked him he said he can't go out So I had to call my Auntie who lives in ALABANG! No effort siya diba? May ibang BFs, araw araw hatid sundo mga GF nila, I will never ask for somthing like that pero sana naman yung minsan na kailangan ko mag drive sakin sa hospital or pag nasiraan ako ng kotse, tulungan ako.

Time - we see each other once a week. He initiates that. If he does not initiate, I don't say anything. Few months before we broke up, we'd go months at a time before we saw each other

Money - how can he spend on me e he doesn't have a job. But I do give him credit, that he would rather spend on me than his friends or himself. I never asked for that though.

Pag naalala ko naiinis talaga ko

That's his loss. It just sounds like he's a douchebag (no offense, ha).

He is not a douchebag at all. He is kind, intelligent and has good values. He is just extremely lazy and has no ambition. I thought he was just at a phase when I met him. I was also a bum when we met, so I can't judge him. Unfortunately, he never turned around and he is now at his mid 40s and still dependent on his parents for money. He asked me if I wanted to get married some time mid 2000s but when I asked him who will pay, he said his parents. I told him, he should get a job first. Never happened...

This made me judge him. Apologies if I was mistaken, that was just my opinion.

There was also an instance when my second Mom was hospitalized TWICE and I asked him if he can accompany me for a while. He would say that he would just visit but he never does. Buti pa nga si ULS, okay na samahan ako.

Okay lang sakin. It's the thought that counts Sa UP masarap yung street food diba? kay Mang Larry, my friends brought me there once.

i am thinking about "low maintenance."
just how much or how little money does one regularly spend monthly, to be considered "low maintenance" or "high maintenance" ?
does such a definitional amount exist?

pag ma make-up high maintenance

pag ma make-up high maintenance

I don't think so. That makes me high maintenance then
