It's my birthday next month and my partner suggested going to see a show (live theatre). My favourite show is on at a local venue on the day of my actual birthday, so it all sounded wonderful.
We went online earlier this week to buy the tickets and my partner asked if we could put them on my credit card, and he would transfer me the money. Well, today he transferred me the money just for the 1 ticket (his ticket!). So I have bought my own ticket to a birthday treat which was his idea for me.
AIBU to feel a bit annoyed? Can't work out if he is tight/stingy or both. Or if I am being unreasonable. If money was an issue then I wouldn't think twice - I wouldn't expect him to pay for my ticket if he was struggling. But we live together, split all bills equally 50:50, and every month when he gets paid he spends between £100-£200 on clothes and video games. Last month we went to see a similar show, and I paid for both tickets. Not to be "tit for tat", but ultimately this show we are going to next month was his suggestion as a birthday idea for me..
We both earn a very similar wage.
AIBU or is he?
