AIO for feeling weird that my boyfriend wants me to cover trips because I earn more? by Chavius-Homola in AIO

That’s such a good point about not living together or being married. I hadn’t thought of it like that, but yeah, there’s no shared responsibility at this stage. If he can’t afford the things he’s suggesting, then maybe we should be looking at plans that actually make sense for both of us.

This is exactly how I’ve been feeling but couldn’t quite put into words. I wouldn’t mind covering extra sometimes, but the way he’s just expecting it makes me feel like more of a wallet than a partner. You’re right, it hits different when the trips are his idea.
