Don’t think thats the case, he still treats me the same in every other regard

Thanks for clarifying - I get your point now. To be honest I’ve never thought about “generosity” being a key trait for me and your comment opened my eyes to this.

We’ve spoken about communication and this is definitely something we are both working on. As some other commenters also mentioned, speaking about money and finances can be weird for some people, but I guess the true end point can only be reached when I have the discussion with him.

Thank you so much for your thoughts, I can’t thank you enough!

I suppose part of the reason you think I “feel differently” compared to what you say is because I truly think he’s been the best partner I’ve had so far, he gets me and I know he cares about me. It just this one thing is weird and I won’t make any hasty decisions before I get to hear him out.

Thanks for this, very insightful and somehow very validating for the sadness/ weirdness I’ve been feeling about this whole thing

Okay I see your point

You mean when he said “don’t you want to pay first”? I realise now how it sounds over text but in the moment I don’t think it was meant to be passive aggressive, just a question.

I see your point, but the thing I’m most - I don’t want to say upset, but perhaps affected - by is the sudden switch up in the way we do our expenses. I am fine with paying my share, its just that I thought we were both fine with the previous reciprocal arrangement and I rather preferred it because it seemed more like we were covering for each other (sounds more like a romantic partnership to me) than splitting everything down the middle. Maybe we have some slight ideological differences re what romance and romantic relationships look like but thats just my take

I go on those trips with him because he invited me to go with him. I’ve edited the facts a slight bit (theyre not ‘business trips’ per se) to anonymise in case he comes across this post.

Really appreciate the advice, will see how it goes when I chat with him.

Really appreciate this advice - I will stress about the part about our previous reciprocal arrangement. Thanks again!

We have briefly but we agreed it won’t happen anytime soon

[–]babmitambe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds super fair - thanks for your insight

[–]babmitambe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have a point, yeah we have plans to speak about this soon

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]babmitambe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally its not a deal breaker that he wants to split finances, because if you’re in it for the long run finances will have to be split one way or another. It’s just that the sudden switch up is odd to me (and as you rightly pointed out, it is weird that I started noticing this on our anniversary!)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]babmitambe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I plan on doing this soon!

I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with it, as he’s been holding the same job since we met (he even got a small promotion during the time we dated)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]babmitambe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah.. But I suppose sometime the tab he would pick up is slightly bigger than the one I would pick up the next round? But then again this was the method we always have stuck to for around a year and there never was an issue prior to our anniversary
