The situation would be worse if they are married though but I agree with Dave there are bigger things going on! People need to stop getting married unless they change the system in the US. Of course there are happy outliers but just go talk to a divorce attorney or go to a divorce court and watch how the majority of people's lives are ruined financially. Especially if your wealthy.
@@lauriey1518 why does she need to call into a show because her bf won't buy her a dryer? Maybe I'll call in next time my roommate won't split the pizza bill. Smh
I know a lot of people who do things that would kinda blow your mind. I can see this.... I know folks who will gamble thousands of dollars each month, but their home, their vehicles.... are in disrepair and run down because they "can't afford" to get things worked on or replace things. They have a relationship problem, not a dryer problem. I agree with Dave. They either need to get married, or get off the ladder. I think the "elephant in the room" is the money. So what.... sign a prenup then if that's what is needed for the party with the money to be OK with the wedding.
My sister-in-law had a pretty dysfunctional marriage to a guy who made a lot of money, and he would take out his resentments on her by doing things like refusing to get the car fixed. Marriage doesn’t solve anything if your relationship is bad, no matter what Dave says.
So fake... in 17 years I have been not married to my wife happily. Just cuz people don't do things your way doesn't mean they aren't right. Yes I call her my wife even though we are not married
But that’s not working for you...that’s the point. Point blank we all should be careful who we connect ourselves too especially in romantic relationships ...
@@MrZatyro Well what I as a woman values is a guy that can afford to look after himself. None of my peers (who are in happy marriages) want to be taken care of. I read it a lot online but thankfully I dont see it in real life.
@@aishlingc6751 but she didn't want to be taken care of. She has money. The call was about her boyfriend not allowing a dryer in the house even if she pays for it
This is the most ridiculous passive aggressive thing I've ever heard. He's controlling her through a dryer and she likes being controlled by a dryer so much so she doesn't even know how much one costs and then they don't believe in marriage yet she is being submissive to him and his command of thou shalt dry clothes in the wind. What in the what is going on?
Yeah are they really boyfriend and girlfriend? This is definitely a weird relationship. Even my husband wouldn’t tell me I can’t buy a dryer just because. Lol what??
“Well I guess if you sleep with him you could probably get by with that.” Dave was SAVAGE today, oh my word 😂😝 He high key ripped her to shreds. Her question had an obvious answer and was nonsense. And he’s right, she has zero ground to stand on. Dave was OVER it 😂😂not sure what she was expecting, for him to say since he makes more he should buy it?
I work with disability services and once you get married, if you were receiving disability it ceases because your spouse's income is considered your income so you no longer meet the income and resources criteria. Unfortunately. I've dealt with a lot of those cases.
Yup !!! Ding Ding, he’s trying to get rid of her because he knows she’s going to leach. There are many jobs she could do that she isn’t. I’ve got a neighbor with no hands that is a computer programmer. I have no idea how, but he makes good money. The millionaire never should have let her move in. It’s time they go their own way.
I think she is a woman with low self esteem and self value. He got her convinced that she doesn't want to be married shackling up for 8 years. Who wouldn't want to marry the person they love and share everything? That's why he has control of everything. She takes what she can get?
Dave, she wants to buy the dryer with her own money. If he refuses to let her put it in his home, she can return it, then dry her clothes at the laundromat, on a clothesline...or she can move out.
Or she can wash his clothes and put them away wet. I'm sure he'll get the point after the mold and mildew set in..... (Might have to find a new boyfriend, but it sounds like its at that stage anyways. Dave nailed it on this one. This relationship needs work!)
I knew someone who was married and raising 6 kids, with a stove that only had one working burner. Her husband wouldn't approve her buying a new stove. It was not a financial issue; it was a control issue. Awful.
Love Dave: ‘You’re trying to act like you’re married and your Not’. He’s a ‘millionaire’ and she’s scamming the system for free medical. I’m glad Dave called her out on this.
This case is an outlier but the marriage penalty for disability is a very real issue. We cannot get married and keep our disability or medical benefits, even if we get divorced. We also can’t keep Medicare if we make above a certain income threshold (with some exceptions) which is why so many of us are unemployed. If you need extensive services above and beyond what a regular private health plan will cover you’re basically SOL if you want to work or get married.
@mukund p She worked until 38 then had the operation that left her disabled then got together with this guy for 8 years, so at the least shes 38+8=46, so hows estimating shes 50 rude?
@mukund p So create a child whos life will likely be ruined by this nut-job? And subject society to her offspring? No thanks. This is why shame needs to be brought back into society.
He doesn’t want her to have a dryer because it’s his way of Having control over her and making her submissive to him by having to hang up the laundry on the clothesline. It’s a mind game.
I doubt it.. I used to be with a millionaire and he was the biggest cheapskate. He definitely wasn't tired of paying for everything.. because he refused to pay for anything he didn't want to pay for.
@@johnwigren2497 People can get a decent dryer new or used for less than $1,000. It's not a permanent part of the house. If she bought it she could take it with her when they break up. Chances are his still works, but is really old so he is going to lose a bit since it isn't working well. Either way both of them are idiots.
This call should make anyone glad that you don't live with anyone who controls the purse strings. Dave is right, without the benefit of marriage she doesn't have a leg to stand on. His house, his dryer.
AMEN...and the thing is, technically Lisa and her millionaire boyfriend are also single. He knows it, but she doesn’t. She’s expecting him to treat her like a wife, but he’s treating her like a roommate...one whose name isn’t on the mortgage. At minimum she needs to either pay to get the old dryer fixed or pay for a new dryer. If she can’t do either of those...a broken dryer is the price she pays for thinking she’s married when she’s actually SINGLE.
He's got her convinced that she doesn't want to get married because he's a millionaire that wants a plaything and when it doesn't work out doesn't want to lose half. She needed to go 7 years and 11 months ago. Sorry for her.
He doesn't want to be married because your not getting his money, move on lady find someone who actually doesn't want to use you, and build a life for yourself
@D. F. Yes, the point I'm trying to make is it's all bad ultimately for both involved, if they are both in it just to use each other forget it move on for both of their sakes
Ding ding ding! Just one example of how broken government assistance programs are. Another example: unemployment during covid pandemic. I know people who don't need income and are now making more on unemployment than they did while working. I know someone else who hasn't gotten laid off and is working to support herself and her husband for less than she would be making if she had been laid off.
If it’s SSDI she receives, that’s incorrect. People on SSDI still receive the benefits after marriage if they still qualify as disabled according to the SSA’s standards. The difference is that if she got married, her benefits would be counted as taxable income because of her boyfriend’s salary, since I’m sure he makes a good amount.
Smh thats not what the phone call was about numb skulls. It was about her making financial decisions in his home as a married couple but not actually being married.
Francisco Medina This situation would be so much worse if they were married. No amount of money is worth living with someone who is this passive aggressive over a dryer. He won’t even “let” her call someone to fix the broken one. Can’t communicate with her about like a grown man should and plays immature mind games over a dryer instead of saying what’s on his mind. Guaranteed he has way bigger mental issues than this.
Jamie T. I think you should listen to the audio one more time. She didn’t say anything about him being an aggressor just him being overly protective of spending money. Which is probably why he is a millionaire
Lol she was a long time listener🤣 I’m sure after this she will no longer support Dave. This is the reason I REFUSED to live with my husband prior to marriage. We are much happier. We have paid off all debt except home and are working our way through the baby steps, we will soon have a 3 month emergency fund. Thank you Dave for all your help!
This may be the single strangest call I’ve ever heard on any talk show. If it wasn’t such an off-the-wall subject I’d probably think it was a prank. But who could come up with such a bizarre scenario and problem? I really got a kick out of watching Ramsey struggle through understanding it just as I was. I busted out laughing at 2:50 when the woman said the dryer has never worked and without missing a beat Ramsey said “I think there’s a lot of other things that aren’t working.”
My dryer went out and I actually bought a Maytag at a garage sale for 10 bucks! The problem was that it was electric and my old one was gas= so I had to get an electrician to put the proper outlet in- however- it is still going strong!!!!!! Gotta love the Maytags.
The main premise of them being roommate's is the disability insurance. Once they are married the insurance goes away. This is the magical power of subsidies.
It’s time for her to move out. This will not end well. Anyone that can afford it and is too cheap to replace a broken dryer has more issues than you know of. How are they drying clothes? Hanging them on a clothes line in the back yard? Get out!
SMH, this is such an American problem. I don't think Americans realise that for the majority of the world, they use a clothes line to dry clothes. Its not the end of the world.
Her millionaire boyfriend can pay her medical bills. This seems abusive to me. She has medical issues and he makes her hang all that laundry? It's cold 6 months a year in Ohio. And where is her paid for house
The new appliances are junk. If you can get your hands on an older mechanical timer drier, do it. If you have an older drier that isn't working, parts are cheap and they are easy to fix.
Thats how me and my ex were for 5 years room mates with a kid it didnt work it will never work that way. Do not live with a woman unless your gonna wife her up gentlemen.
I’m glad I lived with my wife before we got married, but it was never some semipermanent relationship stage or semi-marriage. We just needed to do some more maturing and learning about each other in close quarters before we made that big commitment, and I had no doubts when we got married or in the 25 years since.
He does not want to commit to her and that is why he does not want her to buy a dryer. He does not want her to finance anything that will be in HIS home. It is his way to control the situation. Her illness is probably tiring him and by denying her such a basic appliance he most likely hopes she will leave anyway. She needs to get out of this mess ASAP!!
Worst case take your clothes to the laundry down the street. Do your laundry and not his. Next time when he needs clothes he will not have none clean. He will end up buying the dryer. Win Win!
I think most people here are missing the real point of this call. The fact that she felt she had to call Dave for this simple situation tells me that there is more going on behind the scenes. He is either extremely controlling, or maybe even verbally or physically abusive. It sounds like she is fearful to just go out and buy a dryer, anybody else in her situation would, and most boyfriends or husbands would not stop their significant other from doing so. I wish Dave had asked her more questions about what is going on in their relationship. Example: Why would he not want a dryer?
Sounds like he is abusive and she is afraid of his reaction if she does buy a dryer. She decides to stay with him because she is on disability and is dependent on him. Girl get yourself out of there!
He probably has a dryer that is old and she doesn't like how it works so she is saying it's broken. I highly doubt he would go out to hang clothes on a line. Considering what his time is worth he would sort of be losing money doing that.
Jessica B. She’s probably doing his laundry for him if they have this controlling dynamic in their relationship where he won’t let her fix the dryer or buy one herself.
I think boyfriend is tired of her & the dryer is just the beginning. I'll even bet she does his laundry. The moment she has a new dryer delivered, he's going to make her move out.
Our society is being eroded by this mentality that we are free to just do what we feel. Meanwhile our values & the family structure & norms are going away to our demise. 👎👎👎Quit shacking up especially for 8 years. It’s time to figure it out.
Feminism killed it. And with an eroding economy women will only be more disappointed by their unreal expectations. Family court nailed the coffin shut. Marriage is not worth the risk in the U.S. Half the women you run into are obese to top it all off.
He's smart for not getting married lest that one million dollars and a house magically shrink to less than $500,000 and no house over "irreconcilable differences" also referred to as "I'm just bored with you and I want to go sample some new wood."
Dave was really goin off in this one 😂 Love when he gets angry and goofy like that but also love how he made a practical and logical case for marriage without just saying "God says it's good" and and quoting The Bible and what not.
This is the kinda attitude you can expect from a business partner who is devoid of any sense of morality. You reap what you sow. If you want a relationship, stop looking for a business partnership. You might want to look at the biblical point of view which encourages love, respect, and responsibility based on a Biblical morality.

I know people who don't need income and are now making more on unemployment than they did while working. I know someone else who hasn't gotten laid off and is working to support herself and her husband for less than she would be making if she had been laid off.
BINGO!
If it’s SSDI she receives, that’s incorrect. People on SSDI still receive the benefits after marriage if they still qualify as disabled according to the SSA’s standards. The difference is that if she got married, her benefits would be counted as taxable income because of her boyfriend’s salary, since I’m sure he makes a good amount.
Turns out she's calling from a payphone in a sanitarium.
Joe Congdon 😂😂😂😂
SHE PROBABLY USED ONE OF THE NURSE’S PHONE IN THAT FACILITY. 😂
Classic case of 'why buy the Cow when you get the Milk for free'. She's acting like like she's married when she's not.
“ whose mustard is it ?” I’m Dead 😂😂
Whose mustard is it? I about spilled my coffee! 😂
How can a Romantic partner “Let” you do anything. You’re an adult.
zay b This happens all the time in abusive relationships. All about control.
Smh thats not what the phone call was about numb skulls. It was about her making financial decisions in his home as a married couple but not actually being married.
Francisco Medina This situation would be so much worse if they were married. No amount of money is worth living with someone who is this passive aggressive over a dryer. He won’t even “let” her call someone to fix the broken one. Can’t communicate with her about like a grown man should and plays immature mind games over a dryer instead of saying what’s on his mind. Guaranteed he has way bigger mental issues than this.
Jamie T. I think you should listen to the audio one more time. She didn’t say anything about him being an aggressor just him being overly protective of spending money. Which is probably why he is a millionaire
Lol she was a long time listener🤣 I’m sure after this she will no longer support Dave.
This is the reason I REFUSED to live with my husband prior to marriage. We are much happier. We have paid off all debt except home and are working our way through the baby steps, we will soon have a 3 month emergency fund.
Thank you Dave for all your help!
This may be the single strangest call I’ve ever heard on any talk show. If it wasn’t such an off-the-wall subject I’d probably think it was a prank. But who could come up with such a bizarre scenario and problem? I really got a kick out of watching Ramsey struggle through understanding it just as I was.
I busted out laughing at 2:50 when the woman said the dryer has never worked and without missing a beat Ramsey said “I think there’s a lot of other things that aren’t working.”
My dryer went out and I actually bought a Maytag at a garage sale for 10 bucks! The problem was that it was electric and my old one was gas= so I had to get an electrician to put the proper outlet in- however- it is still going strong!!!!!! Gotta love the Maytags.
Never, never shack up! Period!🤦🏻♀️
No dryer no problem, let HIM do the laundry..
Dave is savage here! "I guess if you sleep with him you can buy a dryer! 🤣🤣🤣". I laughed so hard.
The main premise of them being roommate's is the disability insurance.
Once they are married the insurance goes away. This is the magical power of subsidies.
When I bought my washer and dryer in 1989, the salesman said, "your great-grand children will hate using
this Antique"
It’s time for her to move out. This will not end well. Anyone that can afford it and is too cheap to replace a broken dryer has more issues than you know of. How are they drying clothes? Hanging them on a clothes line in the back yard? Get out!
SMH, this is such an American problem. I don't think Americans realise that for the majority of the world, they use a clothes line to dry clothes. Its not the end of the world.
8 years too long....He does not have control over her life...she controls her misery.
Love makes people do crazy, stupid things.
“Wursher and dryer” 😂
😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing. I totally agree with Dave.especially about roommates. Stay safe Dave and team.
Honestly these people sound too old to be this immature , no wonder he never got married and hers didn't work out.
Her millionaire boyfriend can pay her medical bills. This seems abusive to me. She has medical issues and he makes her hang all that laundry? It's cold 6 months a year in Ohio. And where is her paid for house
The new appliances are junk. If you can get your hands on an older mechanical timer drier, do it. If you have an older drier that isn't working, parts are cheap and they are easy to fix.
I love how brutally honest Dave is. 😂😂
"Better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission!" Exactly how I'd approach this situation.
Thats how me and my ex were for 5 years room mates with a kid it didnt work it will never work that way. Do not live with a woman unless your gonna wife her up gentlemen.
I’m glad I lived with my wife before we got married, but it was never some semipermanent relationship stage or semi-marriage. We just needed to do some more maturing and learning about each other in close quarters before we made that big commitment, and I had no doubts when we got married or in the 25 years since.
He does not want to commit to her and that is why he does not want her to buy a dryer. He does not want her to finance anything that will be in HIS home. It is his way to control the situation. Her illness is probably tiring him and by denying her such a basic appliance he most likely hopes she will leave anyway. She needs to get out of this mess ASAP!!
This is not about a dryer... and there are people who fix dryers. there are cheap, brand new dryers for sale everywhere.
Worst case take your clothes to the laundry down the street. Do your laundry and not his. Next time when he needs clothes he will not have none clean. He will end up buying the dryer. Win Win!
Dave is on point today. Killed it! 😂😂😂😂 “A lot of things aren’t working” haha
She called the wrong number. This has nothing to do with money.
"There's a lot of other things that don't work." That's the whole call, right there.
I laughed too much at this call. 😂
Move out! Quit giving him what he wants when he wants it. Get your own place and buy a dryer.
Give him what he wants when he wants? When did she say that?
Edge HODL right! Some of these people projecting their own situations onto this one while only listening to 1/2 of the story
this is a relationship issue not financial.
I think most people here are missing the real point of this call. The fact that she felt she had to call Dave for this simple situation tells me that there is more going on behind the scenes. He is either extremely controlling, or maybe even verbally or physically abusive. It sounds like she is fearful to just go out and buy a dryer, anybody else in her situation would, and most boyfriends or husbands would not stop their significant other from doing so. I wish Dave had asked her more questions about what is going on in their relationship. Example: Why would he not want a dryer?
Yaya peeps all the red flags for abuse are going up here. If he’s this controlling over a dryer, who knows what other things he’s controlling about.
I agree. He probably gets off on "forcing" her to do manual labor. "Submit and wash and dry the dirty laundry by HAND!"
Sounds like he is abusive and she is afraid of his reaction if she does buy a dryer. She decides to stay with him because she is on disability and is dependent on him. Girl get yourself out of there!
DanceDiva234 I get the feeling he is abusive too.
You have MS and health issues and who hangs up the clothes to dry? Sheets, towels? Something not right here.
He probably has a dryer that is old and she doesn't like how it works so she is saying it's broken. I highly doubt he would go out to hang clothes on a line. Considering what his time is worth he would sort of be losing money doing that.
Exactly. If she made him do the laundry he would probably get another one so fast...
Jessica B. She’s probably doing his laundry for him if they have this controlling dynamic in their relationship where he won’t let her fix the dryer or buy one herself.
Buy the dryer and charge him to use it. 🤣
Move out! He's got all the power.
Jo Ann
Kick her out! You’ve got all the power.
I think boyfriend is tired of her & the dryer is just the beginning. I'll even bet she does his laundry. The moment she has a new dryer delivered, he's going to make her move out.
Our society is being eroded by this mentality that we are free to just do what we feel. Meanwhile our values & the family structure & norms are going away to our demise. 👎👎👎Quit shacking up especially for 8 years. It’s time to figure it out.
Feminism killed it. And with an eroding economy women will only be more disappointed by their unreal expectations. Family court nailed the coffin shut. Marriage is not worth the risk in the U.S. Half the women you run into are obese to top it all off.
Yes!
I think there is a lot of things that’s not working. Dave is spot on.
He's smart for not getting married lest that one million dollars and a house magically shrink to less than $500,000 and no house over "irreconcilable differences" also referred to as "I'm just bored with you and I want to go sample some new wood."
She doesn't want to get married either.
Dave was really goin off in this one 😂 Love when he gets angry and goofy like that but also love how he made a practical and logical case for marriage without just saying "God says it's good" and and quoting The Bible and what not.
Many people will make their life very completed when it doesn't have to be.
Complicated*
She struck gold on this one... On another note, buy the dryer. This shouldn't even be an argument.
No she didn't..
@@thewifelife007 She's on disability and found a dude that's a millionaire. WINNING!
This is the kinda attitude you can expect from a business partner who is devoid of any sense of morality. You reap what you sow. If you want a relationship, stop looking for a business partnership. You might want to look at the biblical point of view which encourages love, respect, and responsibility based on a Biblical morality.
We're All Thieves
I don’t see it.
@@SelimxBradley They aren't married though.. and she can't even buy a dryer under his leadership. Lol. That's not winning.
She ain't interested in listening.
Definitely a lot of other things doesn’t work there 😂😂
The dryer is probably working, but old. I highly doubt they are just using a clothesline. It's probably just old and she wants a new one.
You’d be surprised. My dad has used a clothesline in a basement for years more or less he never cared to have one.
@@stevenoneill9440 me too. I m from Germany...a lot of people don t have a dryer...it s does need too much energy. I dry outside or in the basement....works wonderful.
@@awpetersen5909 She has a disability. A dryer would be a lot easier than hanging up clothes on a line
