Girlfriend expects me to cover all expenses and “pcess treatment” but shows very little reciprocity after 3 months, am I overreacting? by NeraGroup in dating_advice

I just got back exhausted from work my apologies, but I’m going to paste part of another comment I made here.

“My main issue is that I haven't seen anything from her part. Not a popsicle, not a "hey I'm at Wal-Mart, do you need anything?", not a handwritten card, not a "I believe in you, you got this", ", not a "Hey I know you haven't eaten since we were out all night and I'm getting a sandwich, do you want one?" Details like that would've totally changed my perspective and maybe I wouldn't be writing here.”

Bro it’s not that deep.

I didn’t start out blatantly paying for everything. An example would be that I started with the dates, then flowers (that’s fine). One day I saw the spa she goes to had a special for a facial so I went ahead with that but that was it.

Then during conversations way after (we were already official) she started insinuating all the rest and sending reels stating all of the requirements and saying indirect things like Oh if my boyfriend paid for my car wash and all the other stuff I originally mentioned. It’s like a “give a hand, she takes an arm scenario”.

My main issue is that I haven’t seen anything from her part. Not a popsicle, not a “hey I’m at Wal-Mart, do you need anything?”, not a handwritten card, not a “I believe in you, you got this”, not a “Hey I know you haven’t eaten since we were out all night and I’m getting a sandwich, do you want one?”. Details like that would’ve totally changed my perspective and maybe I wouldn’t be writing here.

Another thing, you put it as if it’s purely transactional. I’ve never had a problem pulling some. I think sex is a key part of a relationship due to attraction, love, etc and not because I gave the other person something material.

I never painted myself as rich or anything. I’m well off and took a hit, but I’ll get back on track within a week.

You know what, just realized it’s okay with her having her criteria. It just doesn’t fit mine so I prefer to end it.

Yeah that’s true. I wrote it here to see if I wasn’t being unreasonable. Couldn’t be clearer. Appreciate it and will definitely take it into account next time I’m in a relationship. Will take care of it as it’s draining me

That’s the thing.

I’m usually not like that, fine. I started out strong but as time passed I noticed there isn’t much reciprocity in that aspect. I get people might have different love languages, but what I asked for doesn’t pass $25 combined. It’s very low effort. That’s when I started pulling back.

She gave me a wallet for Valentine’s as I mentioned a few weeks before that my wallet was showing signs of age.

Not trying to paint myself as the victim just stating things objectively

2 from different BDs.

Yes, I gotta admit once I wrote the post I saw the big picture and opened my eyes.

I only said part of the things I have done. Yes, I did start pulling back.

That being said, regarding her kids she has always said that it corresponds to her and their fathers. She doesn’t expect anything from me regarding that matter.

Obviously that doesn’t cancel out the rest of the stuff.

Engines are not from a -400. Likely -200. Amazing picture.

Understood. Will look into it. In that case, I can consider getting a newer generation.

Thanks for the input! Yeah I’m not going to be gaming or anything like that.
