I am thinking of basing the payments only on the proportion of money that each of us makes compared to the other.
Therefore I would be paying about 33% of the time.
Do you feel that this is acceptable for a male?  |
if she is the one that is offering/pressuring to be allowed to pay, by all means let her, it's a way of showing appreciation for you, just because you're a guy doesn't mean you have pay all the time. it sounds like you got a good one. my ex , when we were together she paid for dates/dinners sometimes. most of the time i paid cause i make more, but i'm sure she's aware of your financial situation and doesn't want to put a strain on you. this is a different world than it was 50 yrs ago, there are plenty of women out there making good money now & if she wants to pick up the tab, why not. it doesn't make you any less of a man at all
