Been with DP for four years, no children and overall we're very happy. We hardly argue and usually communicate well. He earns a lot more than I do. He earns approx £6k a month and I earn £1700. I've been slowly climbing the career ladder and studying at night school.
We split all household bills 50/50, with him usually contributing significantly more to holidays. He likes top notch holidays which I simply cannot afford.
Anyway, for his birthday I pay for a city break somewhere for us. We went somewhere last year which he loved so I asked him if he'd like to go again as the flights were cheap.
We've just been cleaning the kitchen together and we were joking about and he says "you have it good with me, I take you out a lot, I treat you and we go for dinner a lot" which we do, there's no disputing that but he earns 6k!
I replied "I do things for us too, I'm taking you away again remember" and he laughed and said "I spend the same amount as the flights, on a meal out for us!!"
The flights were £120, so they're cheap but I work so hard every day. I would rather him enjoy an experience in a city he loves rather than a gadget that would never be used.
I guess I just feel inadequate now and need to rant. I'd never say that
