Milking the Man

Sometime ago, good friends were exchanging views about family life and talking about changes in their lifestyle and priorities. Good Friend 1 (GF1) was telling Good Friend 2 (GF2) about how settling down has changed him. He then continued to tease GF2 about making the big plunge, after all, he has been vocal about having found the Right One (RO).

GF2 could only sigh, as he realized that a life with RO is not as simple as it is. Like GF1, GF2 has a handful of potential in-laws to deal with. Although known as someone who knows how to handle his finances, GF2 was shocked at the request for support of RO’s Camp (RC). RC demanded a very hefty monthly sum once GF2 and RO are married. The amount was so high that GF2 realized his finances will soon be siphoned to the rock bottom if he adheres to that condition. He loves GF2 and would want to marry her, but the support RC wants is making him hesitate to pop that question.

Moreover, GF2 has made it clear to RO that once they are married, he does not want any other family members to live with them, which is the opposite in the case of GF1. GF2, meanwhile, is thinking of how to solve such predicament, as he does not want to hurt RO and RC.

Meanwhile, RO is aware of the situation and at this point of her career, she, too, is in an awkward financial situation. It seems that her management is ignoring her career and having no projects has resulted in depleting her personal funds. Thus, if she wants a life with GF2, she cannot just rely on his career to support RC. Such circumstance is indeed making her want to see if the grass is greener on the other side.

Rumors of RO transferring are loud, but her camp is not saying anything related to such issue. For now, a contradicting rumor is being floated, that is, her present management might be giving her a second look and that her transfer might not happen at all. Thus, the next few days or weeks would eventually clarify if RO would be staying put and if GF2 will finally pop the question everyone is waiting for.
