Boyfriend refuses to buy girlfriend a $60 steak, even though had $100 of a credit card bonus to spend on the meal: ‘I said it was too expensive, and offered her a $40 salmon instead.’

Why is he penny-pinching over $20? Deciding who should be paying for things in a relationship is always tricky. It feels pretty unromantic to Venmo a date $16 for sushi, even if it’s technically paying for exactly what you ate. Many couples have a «I’ll get you this time, you’ll get me next time» dynamic …

22-year-old girlfriend scolds 22-year-old boyfriend for spending $360 on 18 gallons of grape juice: ‘She said I can’t spend that type of money without first discussing it with her.’

Is he spending too much, or is she being too controlling?  It doesn’t matter how much money you bring home: it’s essential to keep a budget. I’m not one of those people who writes out exactly how much I’m going to spend on every expense, though that’s probably the most optimal way to budget. I …

Girlfriend breaks up with boyfriend after he bought her a $10K ring without consulting her: ‘I have ALWAYS said I hate diamonds.’

Which one of them was in the wrong here?  When I was younger, I thought every engagement ring was bought by a partner who was trying their best but ultimately didn’t know exactly what their partner wanted. I thought every guy was just winging it with a proposal, hoping that she wouldn’t say no to …

23-year-old girlfriend working 20 hours a week demands that 25-year-old boyfriend working 50 hours a week financially support her whole family: ‘She sees it as a sacrifice couples make.’

He is being taken advantage of, and he needs to leave.  If there’s one piece of relationship advice that everyone should follow, it’s that you shouldn’t financially support someone you’re not married to. It’s understandable to want to help pay your partner’s bills if they’re struggling, but it’s a red flag if they’re asking you …

Boyfriend proudly admits to stealing groceries from his girlfriend’s parent’s pantry, calls it a ‘financial hack’ that reduces their grocery budget to $0: ‘He says it’s not stealing because my parents are rich.’

She needs to run like the wind, far, far away from this guy. Who is it okay to steal from? If you said, «nobody,» that’s a pretty good answer as far as I’m concerned. A lot of people out there liken themselves to Robin Hood, who stole from the rich to give to the poor. …

Camping with the right people feels like slipping into a hoodie that survived 3 moves, 2 breakups, and a 1-year stay in a car trunk. Doing any activity where everyone knows the routine, the jokes don’t need setup, and the decisions happen on a telepathic level requiring only a nod is just the best, whether …

Friends Exclude Woman From Plans Because She Talks Through Movies, She Flips Out When They Tell Her the Truth

Would you be friends with someone who talked through a movie? Talking through a movie is a huge sin if you ask me.
