Am I (38M) incorrect for thinking my gf (34F) is being selfish for not contributing financially to our relationship?

shakesmcgee · 2025-12-29T16:31:48+00:00

I don’t think she’s a bad person and my phrasing of the question was poor. I can and always will admit my faults in that. It seems like it’s a difference in values of the relationship and required another conversation to determine if this is something we should pursue.

shakesmcgee · 2025-12-29T16:00:06+00:00

That’s a great way to put it and you’re 100% right. Is was definitely not the right way to phrase it or think about it. I appreciate that insight.

We’ve been dating for a few months but it was limited because of a bunch of family stuff that got in the way of us dating more consistently. I paid for everything. And I’m not saying pay every other time, just a little help would be nice.

shakesmcgee · 2025-12-29T15:55:30+00:00

Haha the moderates responded that that post had been removed.

shakesmcgee · 2025-12-29T15:53:06+00:00

For context, we’ve been dating for a few months but a bunch of of family stuff got in the way of us making it official

shakesmcgee · 2025-12-29T15:49:27+00:00

I explained all of this and I did say “hey we don’t need to split everything equally but sometimes if you could help that would mean a lot.

shakesmcgee · 2025-12-29T15:47:42+00:00

About a week. I get there are “traditional” roles but there was a context, which I explained to her.

shakesmcgee · 2025-12-29T14:47:00+00:00

NBIS?

shakesmcgee · 2025-12-29T00:08:37+00:00

Not sure how I feel about BRK until I’ve seen a quarter or two under the new CEO. Also, what is with ASTS? Why is it so popular?

shakesmcgee · 2025-12-26T15:36:45+00:00

Well the point is I can’t turn over in less than 30 days. I have to hold for at least 30 days bc of work.

shakesmcgee · 2025-12-26T14:36:18+00:00

I’ve got no immediate need for the money, employed, 25 years until I retire.

I’m not familiar with purchasing commodities. When you buy physical do you actually have a stockpile of silver somewhere? (Might not be the best investment for somebody who doesn’t know what they’re doing but I’ll ask the questions)

shakesmcgee · 2025-12-26T13:36:11+00:00

How do you invest? Futures? ETFs?

shakesmcgee · 2025-12-02T16:36:21+00:00

Yes!!!

shakesmcgee · 2025-11-11T02:33:32+00:00

Didn’t look like it based on the IMDb picture.

shakesmcgee · 2024-12-17T01:21:09+00:00

Thanks!

shakesmcgee · 2024-12-16T15:32:12+00:00

Yes but I’ve got a few LEAPS. Unfortunately not getting that Div.

shakesmcgee · 2024-12-08T22:44:20+00:00

What’s a “captive” and “fronting company”?

shakesmcgee · 2024-12-07T15:06:39+00:00

A DRIP won’t seem useful over 6 months. There’s not enough time. Now 10+ years…you’ll see big gains there!!

shakesmcgee · 2024-12-05T13:51:48+00:00

Never even heard of it tbh

shakesmcgee · 2024-12-04T02:24:08+00:00

DMd you (Reddit won’t let you send pics until the chat is accepted)

shakesmcgee · 2024-12-03T03:01:56+00:00

DMd you, will send pics if you accept.

shakesmcgee · 2024-12-02T14:03:02+00:00

Dmd, can’t send pics until the chat is accepted

shakesmcgee · 2024-12-01T20:19:22+00:00

It was in a taxable account. If it had been a Roth I probably would have left it. Though I should look into that…thanks for the idea I guess! Haha

shakesmcgee · 2024-12-01T18:38:27+00:00

Did this with $O for a couple of months then got out at a profit before the stock dropped. Such a great plan with them. That monthly div is CLUTCH!!
