19-year-old protests when boyfriend takes her to birthday dinner and expects her to pay for it: 'I pay for all our dates'

Whether they realize it or not, most people look for generosity in a partner.

This isn't always about finances; quite often, what is most important is that their special someone is generous in the time and effort that they put into making the relationship a worthwhile one. However, money matters can also play a significant role. Unless there is some kind of agreement in place, nobody wants to be with a freeloader.

Unfortunately, this fear that many have of being used for their resources is often realized in the form of a partner who goes out of their way to make sure they never foot the bill. This goes much further than the discourse of who should pay on the first date. Many create problems in their relationship because they refuse to make the financial contribution that their other half would like them to. It's hard to feel cared for in this instance.

In this story, a young woman was upset on her birthday after she ended up paying for the birthday meal that her boyfriend had taken her out for. She had told him that she didn't know what she wanted for her birthday, leading him to say that we would pick her up and take her out to eat.
However, she ended up paying when the check came, as he was unsure how much money he had on his card. This annoyed her, as she usually paid for their dates and felt like this stopped the celebration from feeling special. She wanted a second opinion on if her feelings were justified.
