I Am In a Relationship But I Don't Feel Loved

My bf would like me to take a small loan on my name and give him half of the money when I get it. We would both pay half the monthly installments.
Opinions welcomed

There is a reason the majority of people answering this say NO to this idea. And that is because [i][b][c=#BF0000]it'a very bad idea.[/c][/b][/i]

Don't do it. There is way too much potential for trouble here.

No no no... biggest mistake ever

This is such a bad idea .... why can't he get the loan himself ?? ... bad credit ?? ... can't make the payments ?? .... this is a great way to ruin your own credit rating .... and don't cosign for him either.

I'm assuming your own alarm bells are ringing and you know you should not do this, but I'm happy to lend confirmation.

But do you need a loan? If you don't it really doesn't make much sense getting one (or a larger amount) just to say that it's a loan to benefit the both of you instead of just him.

It's your decision but be aware that it's a minefield which could have serious consequences for your relationship. Take care

Why ? What does he want to do with the loan?

Have him sign a loan agreement to repay the money, if it is for necessary purposes.

If he refuses to sign, don't do it.

@AnarchoMetalchic:he will still have to pay when he has the money. He can face jail if there is proof of him wasting money elsewhere instead of paying his debt.

But after I checked her profile, I changed my mind. She is in an unhealthy abusive relationship. Giving him a loan is a big NO.

@Darkcosmos: he agree to sign it...however signing it kinda question my trust in him. He won't get a loan.
Miram · 31-35, F
@destinyfabulous: you shouldn't give me. You should be planning to leave him. From the look of it, it's horrible relationship.

That's a lot of trust to take on.

Are you prepared to lose the half you give him and never get repayed? If you can afford that, then it might be worth the risk, to find out how much you -can- trust him. If you can't, then definitely do not do this.

Don`t do it. Owing money can sour the best relationships.
AnarchoMetalchic · 36-40
Absolutely not. I don't even do that for my husband.

First of all taking loan is your sacrificing your future benefits. So before taking a loan you should have the purpose which should justify the loan. So why do you both need loan. Secondly, what will you do if he didn't pay his half every month.
destinyfabulous · 36-40, F
@Lifecoach: I don't mind taking the loan. However I don't want him to dump me after and someone else enjoy the benefits of the money. The money is to buy a piece of land.
Lifecoach · 56-60, M
@destinyfabulous: who is going to own the land. If you are going to own the land it doesn't matter. Or if you have 50% share in the land also it is fine. But if the land is going to be in his name and you owe the money then it will not work.

NEVER EVER DO IT

No - unless you're ok with potentially losing the half you give him, and deal with any potential relationship issues that come with it if he bails on re-paying.

I would advise against it

Can u afford to make the payments on your own?? U know you'll be stuck with that loan by the first day a payment is due.

Do "NOT" do it! why don't you tell him to take out his own loan?
destinyfabulous · 36-40, F
@grandaddypurple: he can't get a loan. He's brokes. But yes I actually know where you are coming from

@destinyfabulous: Oh I see! Generally speaking in that sort of situation it's not a very good idea! But we can't make a personal judgement! You know we don't know the guy! So it all comes down to you! If you think he's ok and needs your help and will appreciate what you are doing for him!

Sounds like a bad idea. But if you've been together quite a while and he has a decent job, maybe.
sighmeupforthat · 46-50, M
uh oh.. DANGER WILL ROBINSON!


suggestion? do NOT do it.
WildHeart · 41-45, F
Why can't he apply on his name?
fources · 41-45, M
Don't even think about it. No!
Run Forrest Run.......

= NO!
