Men, if you made significantly more money than your partner (like...a LOT more) and were in a long distance relationship, would you offer to pay for your partner’s flight to see you most of the time?

I don't get my points if she's flying....just saying...

funny

(When your partner is not traveling for work I.e. remote week and alt travel isn’t an option, and she offers to pay for her flight when it’s financially feasible)

Of course if you are serious.

Yes, not all the time, but definitely some of the time. The other option is you flying there, which could happen more often because you can afford it, but then you're paying anyways. Use alt travel/miles as much as possible too.

2nd Cousin has a Mexican boyfriend of 4 months and is 3 months pregnant - did not have conversations with her mother or her sister, close cousins before going forward.

There are definitely some red flags with the guy with his income and that he doesn’t speak English, curious what others would do - what would your parents say? Mine would flip!
