I at all times should share relationship bills with my overseas boyfriend who doesn’t enable us to have any meal that prices greater than VND500,000 ($21), even on anniversaries.
I’m 32, and my boyfriend is 37. He has lived in Vietnam for 15 years, is fluent in Vietnamese, and is working as a instructor at a kindergarten.
He made it clear with me since our first date that he needed us to equally share our relationship bills. I didn’t thoughts it since I believed sharing was “civilized,” however I’ve began doubting that as he nonetheless insists on going Dutch even after six months of relationship.
He typically pays for me on our particular celebrations and anniversaries, nevertheless, he acknowledged that we aren’t allowed to spend greater than VND500,000 for a date.
He has by no means given me something on my birthday both, as he mentioned having a meal collectively is already sufficient of a celebration for a birthday now that we’re in our 30s already.
I don’t assume I’m a materialistic girl, and that is the one downside I’ve with him in our relationship. Nonetheless, taking a look at how my pals’ boyfriends deal with them makes me pity myself typically.
Ought to I ignore this and maintain my relationship with him? Or ought to I quit and discover somebody who can deal with me the best way I need?
