My boyfriend told me that his family isn’t well off since he was young. When we go out for dates, at least he will make an effort to pay for the food and we always try to keep the bill to not more than 30 and sometimes we will go Dutch or take turns to pay. He earns at least 40% more than me.
However I start to worry that he will not be willing to spend a bit more even on daily necessities in future, and let’s say probably a piece of cake if I crave for it, even though I myself can afford it, but these occasional gestures seem nice and sweet. Other than that he’s still a nice guy which I do see a future with him.
How should I discuss this concern with him or self talk to not mind this matter so much?
Here are what netizens think:
- Even from the limited info, i believe that he is frugal n won’t spend much on himself, but he will probably dote on his family n will be OK with indulging his loved ones. Next time get married liao u will be his family. This type of guys is a good type to get married to.
- I am sure he will buy that slice of cake for you if you asks. He is making an effort to pay leh. I see this guy up. When you guys go out next, ask him if he wants to share a slice of cake together or if he can buy you both a slice, then update us here k
- Depending on how long you have been together. If the two of you are quite stable, I think you are justified to throw some big questions to him about the future such as house, children.If you have just gotten together, I suggest dating him longer to observe.
