it sounds like you’re paying for a prostitute that won’t fuck you. how often do you get laid?

Did you even read the OP? Where did the sex even come from?

>>18663016
Bump

So what you're saying is you're jealous of your gf making more money than you. Get a better job?

>I didn't actually get to spend any of it on myself, since we had to put aside money for a trip to France next month, which is something I never would've done by myself.

but this IS for yourself as well isn't it? you're not paying for your gf's solo trip do france, you're going with her. why not think that by being with her you're doing all this new stuff that you never would've done by yourself? money comes and goes dude, you're supposed to spend it anyway

>>18662975

Wow she's even willing to pay for you?

You sound like a loser. Travel is something good. It doesn't sound like she's squeezing you out or asking you to buy her pointless expensive shit. I hope she leaves you.

>which is something I never would've done by myself

Clearly, because you're a fucking loser. How in the hell did she even pick you? Send her my way.

Exactly this, and not only that but this loser even has a travel partner who pays his part too. baka

OP I have no sympathy for you. It's not like you're throwing the money away. You're attending special events and traveling all with a gf that not only likes yu but is paying her fair share. What the fuck are you complaining about? It's not as if she's going on these trips by herself. If you really don't like spending the money, then dump her and go back to being a miserable hermit who lives off instant soup

If you both "love each other to bits" she will be able to handle your saying that you're having money problems and really can't afford even your 25%. Don't ask her to pay more - suggest cheaper things you can do together.

I am genuinely surprised by the feedback in this thread. OP, what you are experiencing is perfectly normal and it happens in many relationships. In my experience, it's typically a symptom of boredom. As a couple, you can only spend so much time together cooped up in your home before you end up mindlessly seeking activities to fill the time: trying out different restaurants, vacationing, going to see a movie/concert, etc...

And it's true on some level that these are things you probably would have not done by yourself. You'd probably just sit home on the computer playing a video game or doing something else that isn't a blatant attempt to fill the void of being bored with your GF

Just raise your concerns with her and explain how you feel. You guys can just do shit that is free and/or really cheap. Go hiking, go to the beach, go work out together, etc... Also, I would caution you to not confuse these feelings for a lack of interest in your GF or dwindling romance or any of that shit. This happens in EVERY relationship eventually

OP I am like you in that on my own, I spent next to nothing. I was happy eating chicken and rice. All I needed was a computer and utilities and I was good.

Anyways the question you need to ask yourself is if you enjoy experiencing things and spending time with her. Even tho I was cheap I didn't care about spending since the experience with my gf was worth more than the money I would've saved. We spend a lot of time at home but I regret nothing.

The fact that she's paying so much too means you should probly quit bitching as she's obviously very generous. If the problem is you are going broke then say something. Otherwise stfu and enjoy the time together or find a girl who is neet and won't bitch that you're a jew

This.

When I was single I rarely spent money besides food and vices. Once I got into a relationship that all changed. I spent alot of my savings on stuff that if I would have thought about it at the time I could have spent less but still had fun. As you go further in the relationship money really wont be much of an issue unless either party makes it one.

Spend wisely. Do things that are fun but also you don't have to spend a ton on. France sounds great but could doing something else satisfy both of you?
