A group of four of us are going out of town. Is it weird to ask my girlfriend to pay for her part or do I pay for both of us? One of my friends got the place so we’d need to pay them.

Best to talk to her about it. Depends on a lot of things like how long you’ve been together, difference in how much money the two of you make, personal beliefs about money and gender roles, etc.

It’ll be awkward, but having those uncomfortable conversations now will make things easier down the road.

It shouldn’t be weird unless you’re forcing her against her will to go. Does she normally not pay for things?

I don’t think it’s weird (female here). Depending on how much/if the person booking is asking for the money asap/etc. my bf or I have def paid for the both of us and then separately between the two of us paid each other back

IMO no it’s not weird, even if you normally pay for things you do together. There’s a point where the cost is too much and I think it’s perfectly acceptable and normal to split. That point, is up to you to decide.

Personally, I only ask if I’m running far over on my monthly budget or if it was a last minute decision that I wasn’t able to adequately plan for. That being said I have asked a few times and she’s never pushed back and always been willing, despite her not having an income (in grad school).

How long has the relationship been? How connected are the both of you? If it’s long, and you both like and know each other well then skip the ask.

If you are still getting to know each other, then you can pay as a treat, or ask for payment of her share as usual.

I honestly think it depends on the female and how much we are talking about. Also, depends on how long you've been together.

Ask her how she wants to play that, you can pay the house and she the meals or the other way around, but ask if you feel that you don't want/ can't pay for both of you.

Pay.

How do you manage other trips or is this the first time you’re going away together?

Nothing wrong with asking her to chip in unless you told her previously you would take care of it

I keep having sex with my ex and want to get back together (this is a recent thought & he doesn’t know) but we live on opposite coasts now. We broke up in 2016 yet we manage to hook up pretty much every other time we see each other. It always starts w an innocent hangout but he still does boyfriend duties and we end up hooking up. It feels good but also wrong at the same time. Is this normal? Am I too old for this F/30? I don’t do this with any of my other exes. Not even attracted to them anymo.

There were times I wasn’t sure anything would change, and I worried maybe I was just wasting time… but he’s still proving he’s the right one :)

One of my friends only talks about their SO in conversations. She's done this since they started dating three years ago. She steers the conversation to talk about random stuff he does that's not even interesting and our friends have no clue what's going on with her life, because we only hear about the guy. It's literally stuff like "Adam just got some coffee but was too tired to drink it so he's been watching tv for an hr." How do we ask her to stop? I usually just ignore the stories.

I have a student with autism. He is mostly behavioral and at a lower learning level so he has to be in a separate classroom. We try to let him play with the students at recess or join in class parties. He has a sibling that attends school as well. When we were waiting in car line a group of girls talked about how they feel so bad for the sibling because of my student. Thankfully, neither student or sibling heard. But how do I respond to that as an adult? Especially, if they do hear?
