Do you change what drink you want when doing rounds at the pub?

My OH gets the hump with me when we go to the pub as I order my favourite wine and it can cost between £6 - 8 for a large glass depending on where we are. His pint is usually £3 - 5.
He is a tight arse and I'm trying to come to terms with it, but I wonder if I should order a small glass or a cheaper drink when he's paying and order what I want when I pay.
He (half jokingly, I hope) said that I should buy him two pints when it's my round to make up for it. I told him that was ridiculous, but is it?

YABU - I should order a smaller/cheaper drink when it's not my round.

YANBU - order what I want

A friend would buy a soft drink for herself on her round and then a brandy when it's yours. You'd also have to wait ages after you'd finished your drink for her to get her round in!

I think that someone being mean with money most be the most unattractive quality!

I have no clue what a brandy costs or if it cost more than your drink. Nothing wrong with buying a cheaper drink on your own round, as long as what you are asking others to buy you is a similar cost to what you are buying them. No one should be significantly out of pocket buying rounds compared to if they had bought their own drinks all night, otherwise it isn't fair.

Do you really want to be with him as he's so tight? He clearly thinks you're not thoughtful enough too. You have a little relationship prob that needs ironing out imo.

However ref the question, order a smaller glass is the way to go when it's his round.
