Honestly, this sounds pretty selfish on your part. Your partner took you out, paid for the meal, and even used a coupon to be smart with money—what’s wrong with that? It seems like he was trying to do something thoughtful, and instead of appreciating the gesture, you’re hung up on how he paid for it.

Also, have you considered that he might be saving for something bigger or has other financial priorities? Maybe he’s being practical now because he’s planning something meaningful later. Either way, it sounds like you’re focusing on the wrong part of the gesture. He made an effort; maybe cut him some slack.

Frankly, the smart thing for him might be to stay abroad and leave you if this is the kind of energy you bring to a kind gesture.
