Why some people might be tightwads.
One thing, that many of us are capable of doing, and that's taking things for granted. One thing that is taken for granted is generosity.

For example, you may have a relative that always buys you a £100 christmas present, then one year you get one thats worth £10. You'd be a bit brassed off. Yes you'd be thinking "Aww maybe they cant afford that this year" but deep down there would be a little bit of disapointment and resentment.

I'm the victim of people expecting my generosity too. Ive spoke about this girl before but when we got together, she quickly moved in. We split up a year ago, and guess what.. she's still here! Rent Free! Theres a lot more to it than just that, and I do like having her around so its not bothering me too much. But she knows I never ask her for anything, and as a result, she never offers. She quite happily stay here until something better comes along.

Sadly this isnt the first time this has happened either. Oh and I've totally stopped lending money to anyone, as its never paid back and they just keep coming back again and again. I end up having to make some excuse up then made to feel guilty.

Seriously you give an inch to some people and they take a mile. If I was to be a total tight arse then people wouldnt expect things from me and they wouldnt want to ask favours.

Truely though, I think its down to balance.

I think
you ought to be giving this free-loading girl more than an inch, more like several. See how tight her arse really is, either way you're on to a winner: she'll either leave immediately, or you'll have some free bum-sex on tap without having to be overly-nice to her!
