Dear Lover,
I would love to go away to Detroit with you. I hate saying no but you are expensive and I can’t afford it. (I pay for most of our nights out - meals, tickets, drinks - and I can’t save any of my already measly wages) At what point in a relationship do we start sharing the cost of nights out?
PS - We haven’t slept together since the night you fell asleep. (This could be my paranoia but is it because I’ve started blogging about us?)
Love,
Me.
At what point in a relationship do we start sharing the cost of nights out?
are you serious???
Maybe my phrasing isn’t great - but after adding everything up last week I became v. serious about it. At the end of each fortnight - I’m left with about €50 to save (or spend frivolously on myself)
Lover (who makes, on average, more than me) has the money to go to Detroit for 3 weeks because I’m paying for everything here…
I’m with you DLB. I think you should start sharing the cost of everything from day 1. But that’s me.
Although it is nice to be taken out on occasion.
i’m with Nutty, and i’ve never known a relationship to be any other way.
Rosie - I read your first comment in defence of Lover and thought I was going mad.
It was my own fault initially - I refused to let Lover put her hand in her pocket. Time for a change I think.
Do it nicely.
Fun blog!
Detroit is the armpit of America, you wouldn’t want to go for more than a day! Take it from someone who lived not too far away!
Hi Deborah - I can’t afford to go either way
