[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I should add I am 31 and I'm starting to get scared. I don't want to be single but even I am (clearly, if I am posting here) starting to realize it might be time to call it quits and go back to being single, even at 31[/quote]

It sounds like you don’t like each other very much.
If he is saying ‘this one’s on you’ he CLEARLY feels like you are a gold digger - how are you not seeing that? You say you split things equally but are you sure that’s true? That kind of comment is only made by a man who feels taken advantage of. And the other comments about his birthday suggest also some depression and just lack of shared excitement about him as a person. He may be feeling like you are settling for him as a sensible option financially and getting resentful and depressed and irritated about it [/quote]

Maybe OP is cheap. We all know people like this. The ones who expect everyone else to pay for them. [/quote]

there could be many case scenarios but what I promise op is that people don't say 'this one's on you' if they haven't felt taken advantage of. They just don't. So in some way, on some level, you have created that scenario at least from his pov. It may be that your taste is more expensive than his and so where he wanted to be able to be chivalrous at the beginning, he wasn't expecting to have to spend at the level you expect. He is clearly resentful about something and irritated. What's on him, is not to articulate his feelings. That is actually the bigger issue. couples get mad at each other all the time, but resentment happens when it isn't spoken. [/quote]
