Hi all
I am looking for relatable experience
I am highly successful corporate professional and my current gf earns a lot less than me. Let’s say she makes 100k cad and I made 200k
I met her last year on bumble and we have been together ever since. We have gone out for many many dates, dinners, lunches, activities etc
In addition to this we have done a lot of international travel for vacations and visited at least 6 to 7 places on different trips.
Throughout all this I paid for 90 to 95% of the costs
Now we are on the verge of moving in and her demand is that I should be the provider
She is from Russian culture and she told me in her culture men does everything: housing, food, groceries, travel, planning dates, flowers etc
She said I should bear most of these costs and she will only contribute if she has compacity
In some occasions recently I missed planning our weekly dates and missed bringing her flowers because I was tied up with my stressful job. She gave me hell in return and said that these things cannot be missed
What is this provider concept? Please can someone explain
My gf is a very good looking person and she gets tons of attention. She told me she is used to being cared for
She said that it’s important I should show her support through financial gestures
The other issue is that recently she had a house repair and she lives in this house with her mom. She complained that I didn’t find that repair
She said: boy friends are expected to do this
This relationship has taken a financial toll on me and I am really moving towards breaking up with her. Please advise
