I've met a guy who Ive been dating for a while now. He is lovely and we really get on well. He's funny and charming and we have lots in common, except that he probably earns about 10 times what I do (at a guess I don't know exactly).
I have a decent job and work hard but as a single parent with a house to run I don't have a lot left at the end of the month. He has no idea how much I earn as I work in sales and the salary for my job can vary massively. I'm not desperately short of cash and have money for nights out, nice meals etc but obviously no where near as much as he does. He likes fancy restaurants and expensive wine, designer clothes etc- all things I cannot really afford.
AIBU to have a chat with him and make him aware that my income doesn't stretch to his expensive tastes. I hate discussing money but as we are seeing each other quite a bit I feel like it's very close to me having to say "we can't go there I can't afford it". I don't like the idea of him paying for me (he always tries to but I always pay half.) But at the same time I think I need to be honest with him.
