‘You're overstepping your budget’: Man Accuses Girlfriend of Spending All His Money After He Insisted on Taking Her on a Vacation and Paying For It All

When two people start a new relationship, the differences between their financial states can become a gap that is hard to overlook, which can seriously affect the nature of the relationship. With one usually having more money than the other, any costly outing can become awkward and confusing for them both. However, all of that can be solved simply by good communication between the two.
