You have a girl friend.
The two of you make plans for the future and decide to live together so take out a joint mortgage. You live together for years and rub along. It’s not always a honeymoon, and sometimes you gotta cut the grass or wash the dishes.
Your mate down the pub, Nigel, says to you:
“I can fix you up with a much better girl. No mortgage, she’ll do anything you want. She’s prettier and she’s available now.”
So you dump your girl.
Are you surprised she wants you to pay the mortgage until she sorts her finances out? Do you really think these prettier girls are all waiting just for a guy like you who drops partners on a whim?
And where is Nigel when you want an introduction to this desirable girl who no one else is going out with at the moment?
He’s stopped drinking in your pub, and is telling his buddies Don and Vlad about how he has helped you improve your life!
Edit. It’s true you’re no longer paying a mortgage. You don’t have to cut the grass. But no one is making your tea and you’re now living alone in a bedsit.
