Search Results: should guys pay

I believe that relationships are 50/50 especially these days since the cost of living has gone up and secondly relationships should always involve both partners treating each other equally and taking care of each other and treating each other. Also if a couple is living together married or cohabitating both partners should contribute and there’s a better chance for a relationship to succeed like that and there won’t be any financial strain or resentments between the partners…….. So why would my mom think or expect that my boyfriend always pays for me?

ps - my boyfriend is a total sweetheart and gentleman to me and he’s an honest guy

Pros:
- Very thoughtful towards my family and spends time with them, pays for them when going out
- Loves me, always checks up on me and takes care of me.
-We also have fun joking around and talking to each other
- Sometimes surprise me with snacks so I don't stress out too much in school
-Very good with kids and always trying to make me happy when I communicate my needs and
concerns

Cons:
-Doesn't have similar interests together (I like sightseeing, exercising, and going out, he likes staying home and spend time with fam)
-Doesn't have a stable career or any ambition
(Makes minimum wage and tells me he will find a better job but nothing changed after a few years,
I'm still in school trying to become a nurse)
-Incompatible sex drives (I get sex deprived bc we only have sex when he wants it and we don't do it as much)
- Doesn't prioritize me (last minute cancelled on my bday bc he doesn't want to do what I want to do and is tired that day)

Overall it's not a bad relationship. He's a very sweet guy but sometimes I don't feel like we're compatible and lately, I feel like im slowly falling out of love. Especially since he's not even trying to improve himself with a better career. But then at the same time I still have so much love for him and don't want to regret leaving him. We've been together for a couple years so I don't know. Is this relationship worth staying in or should I find someone more compatible?
