NEED ADVICE
So Iâve (31M) been dating this woman (29F) for almost 6 months now. I thought everything was going really well, we met each otherâs family for the holidays, but last night she starts saying that she isnât sure about us because I donât offer to pay for things like her getting her nails done, getting waxing, etc. Says she doesnât feel âsafeâ in instances where she is struggling to pay for these things and I havenât offered. Also added that people in the past she has dated offered to pay for her nails for example after two dates.
To be clear, I make a good living in finance, own my house (we donât live together), and paying for the things I described above are feasible. I guess I just wasnât offering as I) we havenât been dating for that long and II) she owns a business and has an income.
She then extrapolated this to if we were to get married, that she would want to be effectively SAH parent and wasnât sure Iâd be able to provide for us. We had discussed in the past my preference that the mother of my kids, whoever that is, would be able to be SAH initially but eventually Iâd want them to work again. She previously seemed okay with this but last night seemed like she wasnât.
So as the conversation went own she basically was saying that if we werenât on the same page in terms of money then we shouldnât continue the relationship, that she had been in a 4 year relationship previously that she knew year 1 wasnât going to work and didnât want to make the same mistake.
TBH I was blindsided by this conversation and thought we were falling in love. Now I feel like sheâs ready to just move to the next guy if I donât agree to this arrangement, which is pretty heartbreaking. Personally I would not even imply I wanted to break up over a disagreement like this, and I said I felt that for her to even say that indicated this is a situation where I like her more than she likes me. She in a roundabout way agreed, which was also heartbreaking.
Just needed to type this out. Everything was almost too good until this conversation, but feel like the proverbial mask slipped with how she went about this conversation. What would you do? Feel deep down if I have any self respect itâs over but want other peopleâs opinions.
Dump her
