Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Gf and I just moved in together. We both knew money would be tight.  She only works part time. 

Her father gave her a lot of money just to get us by.   We were getting by just fine. We had a budget and went out 4 times a month on it.  

I asked her to give it back.  She thinks I’m being stupid. I don’t like being indebted to him when we don’t need to be.  We are doing ok.
