[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make 55, he makes 125+. I enjoy spending money on him, like I truly enjoy spoiling him. But I have never felt he does the same for me - ever. It kind of sucks. Maybe we shouldn't get married.[/quote]

If you only make $55k, you are crazy to be spending $1,500 on a birthday present. [/quote]

+1000.  I have to be missing something here.  You make less than half of what he does, you make most of the plans for dates/outings and pay for them, you are treating to $1500 birthday presents and seriously consider when he requests gifts in excess of $800 for Christmas?  Is the sex just that good?  Are you living together and he is paying some big expense like the rent/mortgage so this is freeing up an extra $1000 or so a month?  This makes no sense to me why else you would allow this craziness.  Why haven't you insisted long ago that you take turn for paying for outings?  Your FI has no problems being blunt asking you to help pay for things on your birthday no less.

I'm very curious how you guys plan to handle money when you get married - he apparently is making a decent salary but spends generously on himself with top of the line everything so who knows how much he saves, and you make much less, but are overly generous (maybe gifts are your love language) even if you would do better saving that money.
