How do I believe she is broke when she is still buying things she wants and satisfying cravings?

[Kross]

So my partner just told me she is broke. And that I should send her some money. But I am not seeing her cutting back expenses or adjusting her lifestyle. She still buys what she wants to buy without hesitation and still satisfies cravings.

How am I supposed to believe she is broke so I can be convinced to send her money?

In my opinion, when someone says they're in a financial crisis but isn't making any visible efforts to cut back on spending, it's normal to be suspicious. Honesty is key in these situations, and if your partner isn't showing any changes in their behavior, it might seem like they're not being entirely truthful. It's important to have an open and clear conversation, asking them directly about their expenses and what they really need. It's not just about sending money without understanding the real situation, because that could lead to misunderstandings or them using the money for things that aren't priorities. You should also consider whether you feel comfortable helping in this situation, or if you'd prefer to offer emotional support or advice instead of just money. Trust is built on honesty and transparency, and if you feel something isn't right, it's okay to set boundaries and find a solution that's healthy for both of you.

She must not become a miser because she is broke. She might be genuinely broke but just can't drop her lifestyle. It is not easy for me to drop my lifestyle either.

She might just need money to sort out things. It isn't that you doesn't have money at all that's it

That particular lifestyle is why she is broke in the first place. So it might not be that she is lying, but she simply lacks the discipline to manage what comes her way.

The thing is that women always like to bill their men. That she says she is broke might not mean she doesn't have money to take care it herself and her needs.
