I wanted to thank Alana Semuels for coming on the show. I thought I should point out that these issues related to relationships and money are particularly associate with culture. In some cultures, women not paying for meals is actually looked down upon -- suggesting that she is more interested in a "meal ticket" than a real and honest relationship.

To the point about the woman who had her boyfriend move in, I thought I would relate a story. My girlfriend was in a previous relationship in which she lived with her significant other in his apartment. When the relationship soured, she was essentially kicked out, without a place to go and without any furniture. I am very serious with her now, and as a consequence of her prior bad experience, we have had to move slowly. Essentially, she got rid of all of my furniture over time and replaced it with hers. The thought is that she can never be "kicked out" again, since that would also mean that I would not have a bed to sleep on, or a TV. I do not expect that to be a problem, since I love her and intend to be with her for the rest of my life. But I do think that these issues should be addressed slowly, with concern for each partner in a relationship as well as their personal situation. No one should feel that they are being financially taken advantage of in a relationship.
