[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's making me feel weird. I'm appreciative, but I don't want him to feel responsible for all the costs. Not sure if some of this is generational. He's 46.  We've been dating for about 6 months.

How am I supposed to pay sometimes without offending him? How do I deal with my own independence issues. [/quote]

You figure out a way to deal with your independence issues.

He might feel odd if you pay (the same way you feel odd about him always paying.)

When we were dating, I know money was tight with my DH, so we didn't go out. (I'm a homebody anyway. And we worked together and I didn't want people to find out about our relationship early on.) I would buy stuff and bring it over to make a special dinner. It was always unusual stuff that I know he wouldn't have in his home. Honestly, I also wanted to try out new recipes so this was a win win situation. I didn't want to hurt his feelings by making him feel like he was "poor."

By making him a meal, it was a positive for both of us.[/quote]
