writes: Some opinions please. I feel very slighted by the following situation.My girlfriend asked me if I wanted to join her for dinner with her younger cousins. This was my first time meeting everyone but her sister ... So, besides her little cousins, there was also: her sister, other sister's boyfriend, and a friend of her's.At the end of the meal, myself and the other sister's boyfriend both put up what amounted to 1/4th of the bill each. My girlfriend told her sister's boyfriend to take the money back. But, she took mine to pay for the bill.I'm definitely not mad about the money. I think it was just the gesture of it ... considering I've paid for at least 90% of the meals every time we went out ... and numerous other things. Even if I were a multi-millionaire, I would've felt slighted by someone doing that ... Any thoughts? Thanks.

If she says BEFORE you go out that you're all splitting the bill equally, or that you have to pay for your own food, whatever.. But if she just invites you, she's offering to pay.

 It would appear she is trying to make herself look good with your money. You HAVE to talk to her about this. Please tell her how you feel, if you don't then resentment will eat away at you and the relationship will implode anyway!
