[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been dating my boyfriend for 6 months. We are both middle aged and divorced. He is a kind and hardworking man and very smart. We have a great time together. He is also INSANELY cheap. We always go on cheap dates (think Chipotle) and do a lot of free stuff hiking museums, etc. I enjoy these low cost things but I also want to do nice stuff sometimes. This is the only issueI have with him. [b]Would you break up over this? [/b]The middle aged dating market has been a nightmare, and I do like his company. the idea of eventually marrying someone who is super cheap makes me nervous.[/quote]

It sounds like you are doing what he wants to do -- save money by only eating out at places like Chipotle, and by doing free activities. But he isn't ever doing what you want to do -- which is to occasionally do some nicer things that cost money. [b]You are being subsumed into his lifestyle instead of there being a compromise. [/b]That is no way to live in partnership, by doing things one person's way all the time. Add that to the fact that cheapness usually = control, and you have more than a red flag.

I'd break up with him. But I'd be okay with being alone. [/quote]

This is the real trouble. My husband is cheap, but he can compromise. [/quote]
