Is it normal to ask your girlfriend for so much money?
The last thirty days, my boyfriend and I have broken up twice. It's been the first time in almost four months that we had broken up. Our relationship finally took a serious tone and we were happy with each other. We never argued or anything but one day, out of the blue, he decided that he was "depressed" and wanted to be single. I let him have his way. I didn't want to be suffocating but I knew that I wanted to be with him.
Almost a month passed and he texted me out of nowhere telling me he loves me. He explained that he had been in a car accident and he just needs to be with me because I'm always there for him, etc. The next day, he admitted that he needs 1,500 dollars to pay for car repairs for the guy he hit because his insurance won't cover the entire amount (crappy insurance, he says). After repeatedly stating that he needs the money, I offered to help which he too eagerly accepted.
We ended up breaking up again (because he decided he would never want to get married and I don't see the point of being in a relationship has no intention of lasting). The money issue never came up because we had just stopped talking again. The court date is in one week and he just texted me again, telling me the same things, that he loves me, he wants to be with me, etc. The money came up again. He promised he'd pay it back in installments, that we can get it in writing and everything, but I'm sort of afraid that he's basing our relationship on his need for money. I'm afraid that if i give him (or don't give him) the money, he'll just break up with me afterwards.
It's 1500 dollars. He's currently unemployed (which adds to his depression and wanting to be alone for the first breakup). But is it normal to give up that much money with nothing in return? Is it even normal to trust him after everything we've been through the last month?
