When His Raise Became My Financial Nightmare 😡💸

You know what’s wild? My boyfriend (29) and I (27) have been together for over four years, living together for two. I bust my butt at two jobs and take care of my son, juggling bills and barely keeping my head above water. When he landed a high-paying second job, I thought, "Finally, we can breathe!" For a hot minute, he was generous—dinners, gifts, even offering to support me if I wanted to go part-time. But that lasted, what, two months? Now, he’s suddenly keeping score, pushing me to pay for everything from dinners to groceries, even though he’s swimming in savings and has way fewer bills than I do. Last night at a pizza place in Brooklyn, he made me pay for dinner again, then argued over who owed what at the bar. I ended up sleeping on the couch, feeling like a roommate instead of a partner. How do I even bring this up without starting World War III? Is it too much to want to feel like a team? Help me out, bestie! 😤🥲 #RelationshipProblems #MoneyMatters #FinancialFairness #ModernLove #RomanticRelationships
