I found out my boyfriend has been telling his friends I’m bad with money, and the funniest part is that I make almost twice his salary.
We’ve been together for eighteen months and split expenses based on income. I cover about 65% of our shared costs because I earn more.
I’m happy with that arrangement.
Last weekend, we had dinner with some of his friends. One of them made a joke about how my boyfriend must be broke because I apparently spend all his money.
I laughed because I assumed it was an inside joke.
Then his friend said, “No, seriously, he told us you have expensive taste.”
I asked my boyfriend about it in the car.
