She Broke Up With Her Boyfriend After He Asked Her To Pay For His New Car So He Could Put His Savings Toward Starting A Business

While we often want to help those we love while they go through a difficult time, lending money to people is something we have to be very careful about.
One woman recently broke up with her boyfriend after she told him she wouldn’t pay for his new car so he could put his savings toward starting a business.
She’s 25 and was with her 27-year-old boyfriend for three years. They live in the Caribbean, and two months ago, her boyfriend sold his car so he could save up for a new one.
Then, he hit her with an unexpected idea. The other night, he went over to her house and asked her what she thought about him using the money he saved for a car to open his own car wash business.
“I told him that he can use the space he has at home to open a car wash, and he doesn’t necessarily need to use all his money to open a business as simple as that,” she said.
“He said the vision he has is to also include auto-detailing and that he would use the money to purchase equipment for it. I told him that I don’t think it’s a good idea, but I’ll support him if he decides to do it.”
He completely misconstrued her words when she told her boyfriend she’d support him. As it turned out, he thought by supporting him, she’d still help him get a new car by taking out a loan from the bank and putting it in her name while he opened his business.
This seemed absolutely ridiculous to her, especially because she didn’t even have a driver’s license.
“When I asked who will be making the payments, he said the bank will take the money out of my account every month, and he will pay half,” she recalled.

“I told him that I am absolutely not paying half for a car I am not driving. He said it would be ‘our’ car and that when I eventually get my license, I’ll be able to drive it, too.”
“I said that this entire scenario makes no sense as I have no intention of driving anytime soon, and literally anything can happen.”
She asked her boyfriend what would happen if they were to break up before the car was paid off, and he said he’d still make payments, so she wouldn’t have to worry about it. However, the idea still seemed to be too much for her.
After going back and forth, she finally put her foot down and told her boyfriend she wouldn’t be taking out a loan to get him a car because of his unstable financial state.
Her boyfriend called her selfish and said he couldn’t see himself sharing a future with her. Then, the next day, he called her and broke up with her.
She later called his mom to tell her they had broken up and why it happened. Her new ex-boyfriend found out about this and sent her hateful text messages, telling her she was dumb. He also tried to make her feel bad for not believing in his “dreams.”
Should she feel bad for not taking out a loan for her boyfriend, or was she being responsible?
