He Broke Up With His Girlfriend Because She Expected Him To Pay For Absolutely Everything, Including Her Nose Job
If you’re a woman dating a man, you know there’s an old tradition that involves boyfriends or husbands paying for most dates and excursions with their girlfriends or wives.
However, in these times, while it’s nice to have a partner who wants to pay for certain things, there needs to be boundaries.
One man recently broke up with his girlfriend because he began paying not only for their dates but also for her personal expenses, and now he regrets it.
He’s 28 and recently broke up with his 28-year-old girlfriend of four years.
When he and his girlfriend first started dating, he automatically started paying for all of their dates and any small trips they took together as a couple.
These payments were fine with him, as he expected it in a relationship dynamic. However, red flags started popping up when he noticed that his girlfriend seemed to be doing pretty well money-wise. She lives a little over an hour away from him and drives a car that’s nicer than his.
Still, because he loved her and loved being in a relationship, he continued to pay for everything they did as a couple.
“Things became tricky when she came to me with expectations about money a year into the relationship,” he explained.
“She told me she expected me to start contributing to her bills, such as her phone bill, nails, etc. She also requested I pay for her special cosmetic skin treatments and help her with her car payments. When we first had this conversation, it hit me like a truck.”

At that point, he began to feel used and more like a piggybank than a boyfriend. When he tried expressing how uncomfortable that would make him, his girlfriend told him that men she’s dated in the past have paid all those bills for her and more. She even showed him receipts that proved it.
Then, his girlfriend told him this was how relationships were supposed to work and that instead of seeing the arrangement as her taking advantage of him, he should see it as his way of showing her love and appreciation.
Because he loved his girlfriend so much and she made him happy in all other aspects of their relationship, he tried his best to contribute to her personal expenses.
However, after a while, money became extremely tight. But whenever he expressed concern about his financial situation, his girlfriend would accuse him of disrespecting her.
“My breaking point was when she asked for a nose job. I told her I couldn’t afford it, and she said I could just get it on a payment plan,” he recalled.
“At that point, I told her I had enough, and we broke up. We were on and off for a few weeks because we were still close, and the love was mutual; however, eventually, we drifted away.”
Now, since being alone after the breakup, he’s beginning to regret his decision. He realizes that the relationship was toxic financially, but he misses having a partner and all the memories they made together.
Should he feel guilty or remorseful, or did he do the right thing?
