• 1. Stay diplomatic and keep a smile on your face at all times. Otherwise, he will be hers forever; things have already started.

• 2. Start calling him and sending him lists of things to buy. Ask his girlfriend to help him shop for the house, and ask him to buy things you like, such as ice cream or specific meals.

• 3. “My card is stuck. Could you please pay this bill for me?”

• 4. Start with small financial requests—perhaps two expenses per week.

• 5. It’s possible that his girlfriend is guiding him to act this way.

• 6. Take him along when visiting friends and relatives. Have a few relatives ask him about his contributions to the home and remind him how hard his mother worked for him.

• 7. Plant the idea of buying a new, bigger house so that you can all live together happily forever.

• 8. Look at properties on Instagram and start going out to view them. This will keep him busy and focused on you.

• 9. Look for a new, fancy car and have him go on a few test drives. Let him spend some money on himself as well.

Summary: The strategy is simple: keep him busy and keep him spending on the home.
