Ladies, does anyone feel guilty if you partners takes you on a nice date? I know my partner is going through some financial struggles, so we try not to do anything extravagant. When we do, I feel so guilty (especially when he pays for it). I want to have this conversation with him without offending him but I am not sure what good it will do. I do well for myself, therefore things we want to do / can do may not always align.

A few times I appeared with a ‘gift card from work’ in order to share the $$ burden so that I didn’t have to have ‘the talk’. Once things smoothed out, I owned up and we had a big giggle about it together. I used prepaid visa gift cards.

I would probably feel guilty. But we’re married now, so not anymore. Lol. I like that gift card idea though.

Don't feel guilty, they're responsible for how they want to spend their money. However, when my husband and I went through this I tried 'subtle suggestion' by pointing out cheaper things that I would enjoy doing more. I like picnics and staying in so a fancy restaurant isn't really my thing, and he got the hint after a while. Sure it would've been nice to go out to those places, but it was a win/win situation.

I’d feel guilty but I like Manager 1’s response… at home dates can be just as nice!

I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.
