AIBU to think I’m being shafted?

My partner and I are in our 50s and don’t live together. I have ‘enough’ money and he has considerably more than me. We share the cost of our meals out, trips away etc 50/50 but… when we go out for a meal or go to the pub he always has more to eat/drink than me. (2 or 3 pints and a starter or a couple of side dishes, for example.) Should I speak to him about this (awkward!) or am I being mean?

I’d say your trying to be a bit more careful with money so you are just paying your share going forward.

With a partner i wouldn't quibble the drinks bill. I'd quibble the mortgage

Oh I couldn't be with a man like this.
That's so disrespectful to you.

Very unattractive. He must be aware he eats and drinks more but doesnt offer a bit of extra cash to cover it - tight

Agree he’s tight! Why can’t he pay for your meal? You’re a couple aren’t you. Why is it strictly 50:50. He could share a bit here & there..

Just be honest that you can only just afford this and you need to pay for only your own share going forward.

Next time, just say you’re going to pay for what you’ve ordered. If he objects, you’re being shafted.
