So whenever my boyfriend and I go out to eat we have tried to split things, If its more than $20-$30 he will sometimes look at me and ask if I want to pay or ask "what should we do" He has paid for things but its for the small things. He's the one with the full time job and I'm getting there to get a job. I have discussed al of this to him and it has gotten better but i still find i'm paying for expensive things. When it comes to gifts he does spend money on me but when it comes to going out he seems to be really cheap. For example: when we went to the movies I paid for the tickets and he paid for the snacks. He ended up going to the game with a friend when tickets were cheaper. So basically i have noticed a pattern of whenever its more than $20-$30 max he will look at me to pay. I am totally down to split things but it's never made me feel "special" when it comes to him taking the initiative especially him with the job and me without a job. I just don't feel special and it feels like he doesn't want to spend money on me which he has but not to when it comes to going out. Is it normal to feel this way or am i being a "diva"?
What are your thoughts on this situation and is it normal to feel this way?
