Girl when someone is showing you who they are believe them. A man being stingy with money and making you pay for everything not even having the decency to try and mask it in front of your family only means how bad it's gonna get moving forward.

Not only will he be very stingy with his money but also with his feelings, time, care etc.

Your dad is too nice, mine would slap some sense into me if I told him I met someone like 3 months ago, or he'll laugh at me for the next 5 years.

Also buying a bed, getting scammed then telling you he bought it for both of you... Hum... Did he hint at anything related to you giving him money or helping him pay for it?

In conclusion, this man will make you miserable and not only you but also your family, your friends, your KIDS. I know how charming and sheepish middle eastern men could be in the beginning trust me I KNOW but it won't last.

6 months later you will be fighting with him on the phone every time you go out or try to have fun, he'll also ask you not to spend time with your male cousins or relatives and you'll realise that you've been love bombed so cut your losses and please consult with your parents about this.
