Depends on financial status, length of relationship. But generally $100 for my SO and I

How long have you been together?

We’ve been together for 1yr

I guess it depends on what your spending it on (dinner, drinks, activity, gift) I think less than $200 you can have an awesome time

How much do you make?

Advice needed! I interviewed with my favorite company 3 months ago for a role I was interested in but had no experience. They were looking for someone with experience so they passed on me.

I recently ended a 5 year relationship to someone I thought I was going to marry and everyday I worry I made the wrong decision. At the end of the day though our values weren’t in alignment - he became very conservative over the years (or more open about his perspectives on it).. such that he thought being gay is something not to be discussed/ encouraged, abortion should be illegal etc. And just felt an inconsistency with his level of compassion/empathy that was confusing bc it felt hot and cold
