Being in a relationship or marrying someone means supporting each other through thick and thin. But just how many hardships can a couple endure? Most would be advised to leave the relationship when things go south.
If your significant other is in a lot of debt, would you even consider marrying them? This woman, unfortunately, is unsure about what to do after discovering that her boyfriend is in debt for RM500k.
A Malaysian photographer and entrepreneur who goes by Haffiz or @MHaffizJ on Twitter recently received a question from an anonymous user who had asked for relationship advice via the NGL link. According to the screenshot, the user was torn on whether or not she should marry her boyfriend who apparently is in debt with the Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) for RM500k because he failed his degree in the United States.
Concerned for the future and well-being of the anonymous woman, the photographer advised her to think carefully about what she might get herself into. “If you think his good characteristics and determination can REALLY compensate that HALF A MILLION RINGGIT DEBT, then yea sure [marry him] I guess 😐,” he tweeted. The tweet then went viral with over 584k views and over 600 quote tweets at the time of writing.

Netizens weighed in on the situation as well by suggesting to the woman to either wait for her partner to be financially stable or leave the 2-month relationship as the large debt could be detrimental to them in the long run. Many were flabbergasted by the unbelievable half-a-million debt and advised the woman to just forget about marriage.
Another anonymous user, presumably a friend of the original poster (OP), responded to the viral post via NGL to clear up some possible misunderstandings and criticise those who left rude comments under the viral tweet. Despite his neutral advice, Haffiz was also criticised by the user and was even accused of lacking empathy.
The businessman defended himself by reminding everyone that he actually encouraged the OP to make the decision based on what she thinks is best for her future. RM500k is, no joke, a lot of money so whatever the outcome of this relationship may be, we hope that it will be the best for the couple. May the boyfriend find a way to pay off that debt in the future.
