[quote=Anonymous]When DW and I started dating, I was making 100K with pretty much no bills except for basics (rent, electricity, internet, etc).  DW was making 35K and had student loans on top of everything else.

I paid for pretty much all dates.  Often she would do a "lets grab a drink first" or  "lets grab dessert after" and she would pay.  Sometimes she'd pay for less expensive restaurants.  But the truth was I was in a better position to pay for things and we enjoyed going to nice places.  When we got serious, we had open conversations about it because she felt bad she couldn't contribute the same way I did.

When we moved in together, we worked out new systems for paying for things as our incomes were still very different.

Now that we are married we've worked out a system since our income levels are still quite different (and likely always will be).

I don't think there is a set time.  It's about each partner being respectful for their partner's feelings and where they are coming from.  Some women are more comfortable with guys picking up the tab all the time than others.  [/quote]
