For the males: how do you accept the fact that you spend more on your girl than she does on you? (Mainly money but also energy and time) - answer only if you can relate

Only money, and I feel GFs generally spend more time and energy if they’re really into you. Although it also depends on one’s attachment style, as mine has been avoidant.
Also I have always made more plus I actually enjoy taking care of my lady in joint activities 🤷

How much more do you spend? Like whats the split?

Kind of agree with Google. Yes, the gentleman thing is you spend more money. Red flag if you’re also putting in more energy, though

I’m fairly new to practice, however I’m in my third private firm, and all of my bosses have been men. My first two would make blatant statements about how they couldn’t invest in someone who would want to be having babies soon or that I didn’t need to worry about making much $ because I live with my bf and I have a provider, etc.. I’m on my third one now, who doesn’t make blatant statements, but speaks to me vastly diff than the male attorneys.. anyone else experience these issues?

My sister wants me to pay for my father's hospitalization and related costs

My parents planned a trip to the US and never told me. My sister helped then plan. In the US, my father fell sick and had to be hospitalized. They did have travel insurance but there were still a lot of out of pocket expenses and other expenses related to rescheduling tickets, etc.

My sister contacted me once she got the bills and told me "as their son" I should be paying for everything.

When to break-up with someone? I’ve been dating my gf for 6 years (2 long distance 1yr on a break and 3 living together. Nothing terrible about the relationship but I’m not happy and no longer feel in love. I’ve tried working it out but haven’t felt the relationship has gotten any better. I feel at this point the best thing to do for both of us is split (she shouldn’t be with someone that can’t love her fully). So here’s the options continued…

A question for the guys: was this a date?! Ran into a guy I knew in college at a bar, he technically asked me out (“we should get drinks sometime” etc), then paid for my drink. But as we were saying bye, it felt kinda platonic? Like just a hug and “good seeing you.” Or is he not interested? How often do you kiss on a first date?

In need of help or advice. GF barely wants to have sex any more. Both near 30s, dating for almost 4Y. First 2 years we avgd 2/week, but now down to 2-3/Month.

I’m willing to try new things and try romantic gestures but she is just not interested. Otherwise relationship is great and I would propose, but I don’t want a marriage like this

My gf and I are having a big discussion and I would love to get your thoughts on this. It’s about how much we keep in touch and communicate when I’m on the road.

I am not used to that and have the trust if she doesn’t text back, that it’s for good reasons, busy at work…. (Ctd)

Men, why ghost women on dating apps even though you showed interest? I matched with a guy on Hinge and he asked me out. We were supposed to meet Thursday night, but I forgot that I had something for work, so suggested a different day. Not only did he not respond, but he also changed the pictures on his profile multiple times, making it obvious that he was on the app/saw my messages! He then unmatched me. Never met him, so obviously not the love of my life, but just genuinely curious.

We’ve been together for a year and over time I’ve started to notice that a lot of his interests/things he does/quirks/etc are based off his ex. They were together for 4 years so I kind of understand, but at the same time I question if he has any sense of individuality. I haven’t been in any super serious relationship until this one so I’ve had time to find my independence. What do yall think?
