I once spent like £70 or something on a bag and some perfume for xmas and then £80 for a charm bracelet and a charm the next xmas, but usually spent a bit less for her birthday for some reason lol. All in all though I didnt spend that much more on her than she did on me

I get the feeling I spend a little more because I do all the driving. Then again, I have more funds to spend (more loan/grant, and a better paid summer job) so I see that as only fair - especially cause a lot of that money I haven't exactly earnt myself! He would try to spend more on me, but I insist on paying him back.

There are occassions/periods where he will spend more (eg: receives a paycheck), and visa versa - but tbh we don't keep close tabs on it, because it is not that important. Ultimately my (our?) goal is for our finances to become shared, so in the long run it doesn't matter.. unless we split up in which case I won't feel hard done by cause as I say, it's roughly fair.

I resent the stereotype that all women want to milk their bfs for money. Sadly it is true that a large number of women think that this is their right just because they are female.. But equally I know many others like myself, and that's a growing trend.

Firstly it wouldn't be fair to my boyfriend to expect him to fork out, just because he is male. I view that as sexism.
Secondly, I feel it wouldn't be fair to my view of myself. I am a human being, capable of making my own means, and not to be purchased. I could never date someone who thought it was their place to lavish me with gifts, and my place to.. well, you know. I think that's where the culture of men paying for everything arises from, which is just further reason for me to dislike it, aside from egalitarianism ofc.

I will go anon, because I don't want to be seen to be boasting that I often spend more or disrespecting my bf in any way (I think our finances are rather our private matter) - I just want to help to disprove the stereotype.

My psycho ex got me £30 worth in monster energy drinks and that's about the most romantic thing anyone of my 'boyfriends' has done for me hahah
I don't like being paid for or being bought little gifts anyway,I'm more of a sentimental person like framed pictures etc, I could never ask a boyfriend to pay for my nails and hair and everything cosmetic, if I want it I'll pay for it myself :yep:
