[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else find this joint entertainment account weird? I mean, it's not a horrible idea or anything, but I have never heard of anyone doing this.

So I want to know how this came about. Was there tension over who was paying for dates? [/quote]

OP here.  This should answer a number of questions.  The joint entertainment account arose because  the previous arrangement — my partner occasionally picking up checks — was clearly creating tension — are they going to pick up this check?  So I advocated the joint approach:  since we’re together forever, why shouldn't picking up restaurant checks be the same as married couples with one-pot finances — it matters not whose card is used to pay the bill.

But my partner, while seeing the (irrefutable) logic of this, was not a fan I think.  They were in a mindset of wanting to be taken out for dinner.[/quote]

Is this part of a larger pattern or is this literally their only issue in which they are like this?

Also, how expensive are their tastes and how often do you eat out?  What kind of expectations does this person have?  Do they make up bill splitting elsewhere?

If this is their one weird quirk and it's not terribly expensive, I'd roll with it.

If their expectations are very expensive or this is part of a larger pattern of them not contributing equally, I'd reconsider this relationship.[/quote]
