Hi, so I have a girlfriend. I have always expected myself to pay whenever we go out together to get takeaway or go out to eat or do activities together such as cinema, arcade etc which I usually do. However, she also expects me to pay for her personal expenses, for example everytime we are together and she goes to a supermarket to get herself make up and skincare which is usually once or twice a month, she expects me to pay. I believe, unless I have offered to pay, then she should not expect me to pay and expect herself to pay because they are her expenses after all. If I would like to pay for it then I should, but if I don't then I don't and it shouldn't be used against me. If I decide to treat her, that should be up to me, but if I don't then I don't. If I decide to take her shopping then I pay, but if she wants to go shopping for herself then she should intend to pay unless I feel like paying. Obviously I understand certain situations where I would be expected to pay for her shopping such as a special occasion such as birthday. But this is more to do with everyday occasions.
DILEMMA WITH GIRLFRIED, IS THE BOYFRIEND EXPECTED TO PAY FOR ALL HER EXPENSES, NOT TALKING JUST DATE NIGHT, BUT HER GENERAL SHOPPING SUCH AS MAKE UP?
