When you’re in a relationship, sharing finances can spell trouble. Money remains one of the top reasons that couples fight with each other. Sure, it’s nice to treat your partner every now and then, but when things get out of balance, feelings can easily get hurt. Things might float along easily if you happen to be in similar financial situations, but if you’re not, then it’s hard to figure out just how much to support each other. And if one of you falls on hard times, it can create a tough dynamic. 

It’s also common to be in a negative situation that you think is normal until you start talking about it with other people. That’s one thing Reddit is good for: it allows you to appear before a jury of your peers and let them tell you that you should probably break up with your boyfriend. Who needs friends anyway?
