| My bf always pays when we go out together. |

i always bring a couple of $20s and give them to him to put in his wallet. sometimes we spend them, and sometimes he gives them back to me the next day.
i think if he made more money he'd be the type to never take my money. i think it honestly bothers him to spend my money sometiems when we go out but i don't care. what's mine is his and vice versa. i like keeping separate accounts and stuff and we each pay our own bills but i still pretty much consider anything i have to be his too if he needs it. |

I've just never been one for chivalry outside of the bedroom. We try to split everything down the middle as much as possible, but of course we don't like, keep a spreadsheet or something. :stongue:
//Though of course if one of us were to suddenly make a whole lot more than the other, things would probably change. |

| I dunno...I think that's just the way it is. When I had more money to spare than my bf, I was the one paying extra for him. Now that it's the other way around, he covers my ass. We don't even question it really. |

Yeah, he makes 3 or 4x what I make in a year, so he has no problem paying for me. If we go out (to dinner, to a club, anywhere), he pays. The only thing I insist on paying for is part of our vacation trips... but we set up savings account and put money in it each month just for vacations and we just pull money out of there. Everything we're remodeling for the house, I pick out & he pays for :stongue:
But I take care of him in other ways. I make him dinner every night, I keep the house clean, I give him massages after a long day... etc |

This has always seemed the best, natural way to go about things.
I can say though, I love my girlfriend, but were she to suddenly quit her job, move in with me, and expect me to front all of the bills, she'd be ing out.
All I am saying is that love is one thing, but it's not everything. |

why?? that means your love is conditional then. that. i moved in with my bf cuz i didnt want to sign another lease on my apt and i wasn't ready to shell out 2500 bucks to move into a new place. then i got laid off while living here and he is fine with it. but then again, i'm not like "oh pay my bills". i'm still managing. i'm even ready to go shopping right now for a jacket and dress pants for him for this wedding we're going to next weekend. i didn't ask him for money for it. he'll pay me back later or just pay for the next couple of dinners we go to and call it even. |

Well now that's just ridiculous. We moved in together and I don't pay for anything except groceries, but that's just how it is. He sees himself as the "head of the household" and doesn't want me to pay. Says I have better things to do with my money lol.
If I lost my job though, I know he'd help me until I found a new one. I see nothing wrong with that. |

| For sure man. I agree with you. I don't even know why anyone would question why one wouldn't date someone with no money/job/independence. As an adult with goals and responsibilities, it makes perfect sense why most people wouldn't date a brokeass. |
