Generally, a man pays for the date, especially when you’re officially in a relationship with your partner. Sometimes, they go Dutch but as someone who is still in a relationship, how much do you pay for your partner?
In a recent FB post by Xuan Play, a man who earns RM20,000 per month said that he has been dating a pharmacist, who earns around RM5,000 for 6 months now. They are currently living together and financially, the man is responsible for every single payment in the relationship.
“I pay for everything. Dine in, the rental, home essentials, everything. The bills are all on me.”
For illustration purposes only
The man is 38 this year and is currently working as a manager for a company. His partner is 10 years younger. He admitted that he doesn’t mind being responsible financially but he couldn’t help to feel odd when he noticed that his girlfriend has never helped in paying for anything. At all.
“One meal out there costs me around RM100. With the commitments and the home essentials, that’s another RM8,000 for me,” he explained.
“Not even my birthday”
Throughout the 6 months, the man has done what he can to make his partner happy, including surprising her with small gifts. However, it’s a little baffling to him that his GF has never done the same.
Not even celebrating the man’s birthday.
“I’m not expecting anything fancy, but a small act of love once in a while.”
His concern has led to more worries – is she meant for him? Or is she merely using him for money?
“Maybe she thinks that I’m earning a lot, that’s why she has never bought anything for me. But I’m also worried that she’s using me for money.”
It’s sweet of the man to pay for everything in the relationship. However, to those lovebirds out there, do you think this is a red flag that he should not ignore, or should he continue doing what he has been doing?
