I earn more money than my boyfriend. I always wanted to travel with him, but he can't afford his own share, so I told him I don't mind paying for everything. He refused. I truly don't care about money, all I care about is sharing experiences with him. I don't know how to convince him to let me pay for things.
A bit. I mean as an adult I feel awkward letting my parents pay for a dinner if we're meeting up. Despite knowing that being able to do so makes them happy and that they are doing well. This is with me paying for them as if not more often.
A girlfriend is several times more sensitive. As guys we don't have the habit of having things paid for us.
Now logically I completely agree with you. I think you spending some money to make memories with the person you want to make them with is an obvious yes, especially if well off. You can earn more money but October 2022 or alike is not returning once it is gone.
I would feel a little awkward but could be convinced. Of course to some degree how much you make helps mitigate things.
I don't mind. Most of the time dating I paid. but there has been times where the girl paid, I was ok with it. She wanted to. And now my wife makes more money then I do, and in ok with that too.

If she and I were in an committed, boyfriend-girlfriend relationship and I was in a similar financial situation, I wouldn't have any issue at all with my partner wanting to take me on a vacation. She wants to bond even closer by having a lot of fun and creating amazing memories together.
My machoness wouldn't be threatened at all by the fact that she has access to more money than do I at the moment. I'm still the man. I'm HER man and she's my lady. She chooses to be with me.
So I wouldn't insult her by saying no.
I would not want to travel all the time regardless if it was free or not... It's not high on my priority list for what I want to spend my money on that's for sure. Shit gets old living out of a suitcase and I probably have better things to do with my time. That said, I don't care if a women wants to pay for a trip. If you organized it and payed for everything and ask if I can make time to go on a trip with you for a week to some location, I'd be OK with it so long as I didn't have prior arrangements that couldn't be rescheduled. That said, if she seemed financial irresponsible and was always blowing all her savings on traveling I probably wouldn't think too highly of her.
Honestly I’ve been screwed over by women too many times to trust being in that relationship dynamic. I’ve had women never pay me back money I gave them, women who left me completely by surprise without telling me so that suddenly I’m paying for all the bills and rent myself out of the blue, I’ve even had the same woman I lived with kick me out in winter because our relationship “wasn’t growing.” Oh and this was the same woman who wouldn’t drive me to the hospital when I had to have a procedure and be under anesthesia.
For all I know I could be on vacation some places with a woman and they kick me out of the hotel room. Now I’m stuck on my own, in, oh I don’t know, Bali. Or Switzerland. Wherever.
I don’t know. This is obviously me not fully trusting women, and you’re right. I don’t. And I’m reluctant to put myself in a position where I could get screwed over and left twisting in the wind.
It depends. I've dated attorneys who make double and triple what I do. If she's pulling $500K to $600K, then sure. If she is like many, struggling with roommates and making less than $50K or $60K (not much in this area), then if she wants to pay for some small thing here and there while I handle the bigger expenses, okay, but I don't want to be her budget killer.
No not at all as long as she accepts that I dont want it to happen to often because that would made me feel like I'm taking advantage of her.
But I also don"t want a golddigger on the other han. In a relationship you give and take
It makes me feel weird If I had a girlfriend who wanted to pay for everything cause I get money once a month. So hard for me to wonder about it.
Small stuff I don't mind, like food or the movies. But I'm with your boyfriend on the trip. It is too much money to be throwing around for me to feel comfortable.
That would not be a problem for me, so long as it's not a problem for her.
tbh I think in partners money shouldn't be a issue.
if a guy have more money then he should pay, but if a girl have more money then she can also pay for things.
not an issue to me at all.
but it can be done only after becoming official
i generally dislike to have shit paid for me. but if she's my girlfriend, i could accept that cause i will pay her back one way or another.
Small stuff like meals sure but when she wanted to drop £5,000 on a watch for me I had to say no
That would be sweet but once in the bluest of blue moons.
I will take care of her
I wouldn't mind.
However I'd like to make sure she doesn't feel like I am using her for money.
don't you'll regret it later. don't be a sucker
I wouldn't mind at all, hell you can pay my way
Not at all.
I don't mine
