[quote=Anonymous]I’m guessing your partner is a woman, because if genders were reversed it would be completely absurd (higher earning man wanting to be taken out all the time).

I am a woman, 50s, with  higher earnings and NW than my boyfriend.  He does well by most standards but I had a high earning career and my ex did well too so I don’t have alimony and I share child support (unlike him), so I’m all around in a better position.  I wouldn’t call us LTR yet (a year but still “dating,” haven’t had the talk or anything).  But we take turns paying, and I  try to get the more expensive ones without making a show of it.  I would not be pleased in your shoes.

That said, my BF does other stuff to make me feel taken care of and appreciated (like always brings me coffee in bed, helps me with stuff in my house, would carry heavy stuff for me if I needed it, etc).  Who pays for dinner or even travel is a total non issue because I can afford it and I want to spend time doing these things with hik with him and he does other things that matter more to me than money.

If you are doing those things and sh still expects you to pay just because you’re the man, she doesn’t sound like a catch.  [/quote]
