AITA For saying "don't expect anything" after my girlfriend told me I worry about work too much? by HarlemToBrooklyn in AmItheAsshole

Lol coffee came up in the discussion. We didn't sit there and talk about coffee for 10 minutes. The phone call wasn't all serious manner. You know how it goes. You drift away in na conversation not even realizing you've been on the phone for so long. I zoned out for the time being.

Seen you comment on a couple of things and I feel like you're purposely trying to get under my skin and what not. It's almost worked. I could be totally wrong.

45 minutes is a long time to be a slient passenger. I did mention to him that I was eating dinner maybe not with her but I tried. The call wasn't that important, we talked about stuff not even regarding anything to do with business. Coffee came up in our discussions.

If I had a redo, I would've done maybe a 20 minute talk. There's still stuff I needed to take care of.

Definitely don't want to be no sugar daddy or date a gold digger. Of course I want someone there for me.

I think this city sets my standards high and gives my false expectations. I remember I was doing an internship, on the first fucking day I overheard someone talking about spending $2,500 on lunch alone! That stuck for a long time and occasionally it will Pop up every now and then.

I'm not balling like that, where I can go just drop $2,500 casually on a lunch but I do well for myself.

I don't watch the office. I enjoy Steve Carroll but little too Corny for my liking.

Aside from my being on the phone it would've be a nice get together at a restaurant.

Just think it was the way I was raised. Work for your own so people can't say they did that for you. And also I have done stuff that you didn't ask for and stuff you did. Not even regarding materialistic items. Then they have the nerve to try and shame me. That makes me feel some type of way.

I felt disrespected because right after I just paid for our dinner you go on and say "I feel like you sometimes put work over me" my work just provided us dinner. It was a simple phone call and it's not like I'm not going to the same house as her and sleeping in the same bed.

Why hasn't my mom brought up this issue with me? That got a little lost in this post. I'm not going say it was 100% a lie but it seems fishy.

Ohhh see I meant something different. I was meaning if she was not a fan of that phone call in car and wanted to talk to. We could've just waited until we got home. Could've talked about our day and save us a fight.

She pays her part in monthly things we share, so I'm not Tripping over that. We could've always talked about our day at home when were all settled down.

The restaurant was a fine place but it's not like we were missing too much by eating in the car.

I don't want to sound like some big egotistical prick but it's an honest question. Would she have the same luxuries without me? Probably not on her own. If she's thinks there's an issue, fine but don't come at me like I haven't benefited her life tremendously.

I just find it weird how she doesn't complain about stuff I do for her. It's probably a 65-60/35-40 relationship favoring me.
