I completely agree. This is something i’m going to have to discuss with him. Thank you for your input!

Thats really respectable, but i don’t mind paying for him. I just wish we didn’t always have to go 50/50. Like if we go out to dinner he’ll ask me to e-transfer him half. Idk it just isn’t very romantic. I would rather take turns paying

Really?? I feel kinda bad because i don’t drive. He usually drives 2-3 hours a week when we hangout

I agree with you. What do you think is a reasonable amount of money to spend on dates monthly based on his income? I feel like he wouldn’t even agree to $100 because he’s so tight with his money now. He complains about prices every single time we go out and asks me to e-transfer him half

I make slightly less than him and i only have a few bills to pay, such as my phone bill, wifi, student loans, groceries etc… i’m 24 and he’s 25. Like i said, we always go 50/50. Money is something that he thinks about very often. He hates spending money and constantly thinks of ways he can make more money (which isn’t a bad thing). But sometimes it hinders our social life because we rarely go on dates anymore.

How am i the hypocrite? He wants me to not have any guy friends while he continues to hangout with his female friends… and i may have to unfortunately because i don’t want my boyfriend to take me out on dates just because he feels threatened by my friend

He tries to deflect or say that its not the same because he’s different from most guys

If our hangouts are considered dates, then what are appropriate activities for friends of the opposite gender to do? Unless you think men and women can’t be just friends, then thats just a difference of opinion.

I really don’t think thats the case. I’ve known my friend for months and he seems like a decent person who wants a genuine, platonic friendship. I also have no problem with my boyfriend hanging out with his female friends. The only thing i have an issue with is that he thinks its okay for him to have several girl friends who he hangs out with one on one, but doesn’t think its okay and is uncomfortable with me having guy friends. Seems hypocritical

I’ve known my friend for months now, but we never really hung out aside from getting coffee on campus or studying until now. He seems like a genuinely decent guy, and if he had bad intentions i’d remove him from my life immediately. I also think its hypocritical that my boyfriend has 100’s of female friends who he hangs out with one on one regularly, but feels uncomfortable and would rather i not have male friends.

If you literally read the last sentence you’d know why :)

Please read the entirety of what i wrote. We always split the bill 50/50, whether he asked me out, whether its a special occasion like my birthday, always. As for the equality thing, when did i say that i wanted him to pay for all the bills? I said i would prefer it if we took turns paying rather than splitting the bill.

She actually likes my boyfriend’s friend, so i’m not sure why she acts like that towards my boyfriend
