 | Did you have a boyfriend or girlfriend when you were in college? If you had, did you try your best to create romance for her/him? If so, where did you get the "fund"? A survey on the internet says that most Chinese college students spend their parents' money to buy gifts, clothes and please their GF/BF. Few students do part-time jobs to earn money to bear the cost of romance. Besides, scholarship is another money resource. What do you think? Should the parents bear the cost of their children's romance? |

| Funny, I had to think about this. I had no bf during college, all my time was devoted to studies so I don't remember having a money issue about dating. Well, if someone doesn't have a job but dating and giving gifts to the other person, the parents of that person are bearing the cost of romance. As to whether the parents should bear that cost, I think it depends. If one has rich parents and they know what their child is doing and they approve of it, I see nothing wrong. But if the parents are working so hard just to be able to send their child to college and barely making enough, the child should be considerate. Either he/she work for dating money or postpone romance. He/she should remember that he/she is in school to study and finish it to the end. The purpose of going to school is not dating. Don't disappoint the parents who are working so hard |

In some cultures, it is the woman’s family who bears the cost of the wedding. And in many weddings, the couple doesn’t depend on their parents but save for it. For some couples where the wife earns more than the husband, it is the wife who is ordered to pay alimony and child support. If the wife is a stay-at-home mom either by choice or because it is the desire of the husband, in the event of a divorce, it is the husband who has to bear the alimony and child support. |

| Yea, guys, don´t worry about the costs of the beginning of the relationship, worry the costs after there is none. Carlos |

| men have to pay for meals, buy house and car, have income higher than their wives, pay for childrens education, plan for the future. and the wife stays home moaning about how much housework she has to do. When it suits them they want things 'traditional' i.e men take care of everything else and be a solid provider. When it doesn't suit them its all about being 'equal' and 'fair'. Can't live with them, can't live without them. |
