I don't mean basic stuff like paying for meals and dates, nor am I talking about divorce or "divorce rape" (although these are probably related). I mean have you ever been in a relationship where you consistently were forced to spend much more money than what you intended, primarily for the benefit of the other person? I was in at least one relationship where my partner had a strange way of getting me to spend money, and I mean in ways that were obviously abusive and manipulative (in fact she was abusive in other ways besides just being financially abusive), and I don't think I'm alone here.

Have you ever experience this before? How big of a problem do you think this is?

I know it's purge week but I figured I'd try starting a more serious topic.
