I'm getting really frustrated about how cheap my bf is. I'll buy groceries for us and he won't offer to pay 50% but we take an Uber together and I have a Venmo request for half. If we go to bars and get drinks he will tip under 10% because 'this drink doesn't require that much effort to make.' like that's not the bartender's fault! Idk how to tell him he's cheap and needs to be fair especially if he's requesting money from me and not paying his share when I spend.

I would have a frank conversation. It shouldn’t be something to hold back on because being aligned on money habits is key for a LTR (I might literally start with something along the lines of “hey, I just wanted to take a moment to figure out our finances” which is easy and natural to bring up if you live together and/or have regular shared purchases). I suggest using Splitwise or something similar to keep track of things. At the very least, be proactive in adding his part to Splitwise or requesting his part of whatever you buy on Venmo because you shouldn’t be taken advantage of! :)

I moved back in with my parents in August, and my mom and stepfather have demanded monthly rent.

I bought a VR headset a couple weeks back and my mom increased the rent because “I can afford it.” Is this normal? I honestly feel used. Fwiw I’ve worked since I was 13, and hustled my entire life.

Google is obviously a better brand than my other offer, but I’m not sure if that is enough to make it worth it.

Trying out bumble bff. Met a girl for drinks last week and we seemed to hit it off. We mentioned doing something again and coordinating later in the week.

But she didn’t offer the weekend (which I feel is included in “this week”), didn’t say “lets do another time” or anything like that. Should I take the L and count her as not rly interested 🥲
