What To Do About The Cheap Man In My Life?
I have been dating this guy for 9 months now. On our first date he paid and that is where it has stopped.
From DATE#2 we have always split the bill. Even though he may order beers and I don't.. I still get sucked into paying 1/2.
I have a job as does he but what really ticks me off is he will call me at work and say he wants to take me out for dinner and then when the bill comes he tells me how much my 1/2 is.
I buy his 2 kids clothes and stuff when they need it and I get no thanks. When he asks me to pick stuff up for him.. he ends up throwing the bill in the garbage as if he bought it. I have mentioned to him several times that he is cheap and he just says he can't provide with the lifestyle he wants to give me!
He is usually at my house every weekend.. eating my food. When we go anywhere.. I drive using my gas. His mother mentioned one time that it must be nice having a boyfriend who always takes me out... so I blurted out.. and let her know that when her so called lovely boy takes me out we split the bill.
He has money to go play poker with his buddies or go play hockey but when it comes to me I am crapped on.
Now whe we go out to eat I make sure I have lots of small bills and change because once when I threw a $20 on the table for my $15 contribution he took the $20 and put it with his $12 and said the waitress was good and that she deserved a big tip!! First of all he didn't pay his 1/2 and then he gave her $5 of my moneyas a tip. The bill was $26 and I thought we were paying $15 a piece including a tip.
We have discussed him moving in but I am really concerned. I love him but this kind of treatment I get is really starting to tick me off.
Any suggestions what I can do or should I break up with him. I really can't live like this for the rest of my life thinking he is getting a free ride on my wallet!! :rolleyes:
