So many assumptions here. You dudes are kind of ridiculous. I don't pay more than 50% for anything. My fiance buys ever other meal, pays half my mortgage payments, and buys me gifts and stuff all the time. She's specifically asked for a pre-nup before marriage. This has nothing to do with money.
PD, c'mon man, you know this isn't anywhere near my first relationship wtf. I've been dating and in relationships non-stop for the last 5-6 years with a half-dozen+ girls. I'm with my fiance because she's the right one for me.
Like I've mentioned here, I only tend to post relationship stuff when I run into problems, same problems that most couples run into over time. Sometimes I go 3-4 months without posting once about my relationship, because everything's good and there's nothing to vent about. Sometimes are problems are rough, but we talk about them, work through them and find a solution like adults. Like the last thing I came for advice on where everyone was down on us was when her guy friend confessed to her. Well, it was weird for a couple of weeks when she told him she wasn't interested but let him keep in contact as she didn't know what to do because she didn't want to hurt him/lose him as a friend, but eventually she on her own came to the decision to tell him to fuck off and that his obsession with her is creepy and she's not interested and won't ever be. Everyone here was down on her for not doing that right away, to the point where most people wanted me to break up with her, but eventually she did exactly what everyone thought she should do. She took a little while because it was a tough situation and she had to think it through and compose herself to tell a longtime close friend to fuck off.
Life isn't black & white, it's complicated and so are the people in it. I'm happy, we're happy, and we're finally where we're comfortable letting people know we're engaged. My fiance got me a badass engagement ring and I'm wearing it with pride. We spent our relationship anniversary building furniture, cleaning the house and redecorating because having a clean, organized nice place to live is important to me and my fiance wanted to do something that meant a lot to me. It was a nice way to celebrate and now our house is a place we enjoy being at.
Good times.
