“Is it right for my boyfriend to expect me to contribute to paying for meals?”
▼Apparently, she said that he was a stingy boyfriend.
“For almost every other date that we go on, he will suggest that we split the cost, which is something that I can’t stand, because, why does he have to be so stingy lol.”
▼According to her, Man pays for dates is considered of chivalry, even though the woman is well off.
“It’s not like I cant afford to pay, but I have told him before that it is my belief that the guy should pay for dates because of chivalry and all.”
▼She also added that he also supports his family as well since they are not well off.
“Granted that I earn slightly more that he and I don’t have to support my parents, whereas he comes from a lower-income family and needs to give more money to his parents.”
▼Is he a problematic boyfriend or not?
“But i still find it very insincere when he asks me to contribute and pay. How can I make him understand my position, or is he a lost case?”
▼She also said that she pays according to what she eats. Furthermore in their relationship, he never bought gifts for her.
“Whenever I refuse to pay, he will tell me that it is “my suggestion to go to such an expensive restaurant” and that i “chose the more expensive dish” and all. Besides, he has never bought me any gifts like handbags or jewelry, so I feel that it is only right that he treats me.”
