I am not The OOP, OOP is u/moneyfight My [26F] boyfriend [28M] of 4 years is independently wealthy, but wants to split all of our expenses evenly. TRIGGER WARNING: exploitation, classism Original Post July 5, 2016 My boyfriend and I first met 5 years ago while we were both in school. He comes from a fairly wealthy family who paid for his entire education, both undergrad and graduate school, and have basically funded his entire life. Up until 3 years ago, I didn't know any of this. I, on the other hand, come from a solidly middle class family and have been supporting myself fully since I graduated. Before that my parents helped me out, but I also worked to put myself through college. When we first started dating, my boyfriend and I more or less split everything evenly. Barring a few circumstances, we always bought our own dinner, movie tickets, chipped in for gas on road trips, etc. He never once mentioned his or his family's money. After a year of dating, I met his parents and figured it all out. At the time I was a bit miffed that our date nights were still eating frozen pizza on the couch of my crappy apartment, but I loved him, not his money, so I went with it. I also justified it by it being his money and he can do what he wants with it, and also, at the time I figured his parents were just his meal ticket until he was out of school and then he would be more independent. We live together now. I've learned that is not the case. While he does work, his parents have no intention of ever cutting him off, and he has enough inheritance/whatever money to keep him afloat even if they did. I work, too, but make significantly less than him. And I definitely don't have a rich grandparent somewhere leaving me half the world. This leads us to our problem. My boyfriend has always lived a fairly modest life. He buys nice clothes and nice things for himself, but that's about it. We live in an apartment that we can afford to split 50/50. We have furniture that we can afford to split 50/50. All of this is not a problem, I guess. I do think relationships should be equal. But then there's the other stuff. His sister got married the end of May in Maine, about a 6 hour flight from where we live. Obviously he expected me to go, but I was responsible for all of my ticket and half the hotel/food/car rental. This was a serious strain on my finances. When we moved in together, he brought along his dog. Now, I love this animal and love having him in our apartment. But my boyfriend now considers it "our" dog now and expects me to pay for half his food and other expenses. If he didn't already have this dog, I would've held off on getting a dog of our own for another year or two, until I was a little more stable financially. And then there's things like groceries. My boyfriend will often complain about how we can't afford nicer groceries from Whole Foods or other specialty stores, because I'm paying half and my half just won't cover it. I've mentioned that he can pay for what he wants, but he just says that we need to split it and he knows I can't afford it. Which at least isn't hypocritical, I guess. He has also mentioned recently wanting to move to a nicer apartment in a nicer part of town. He has even toured a few places and leaves print outs on top of my lunch for work. While I could technically afford it, using that high of a percentage of my income for rent makes my head hurt. It goes against every fiber of my being. I've told him if he was willing to split it a bit more like 60/40 instead of 50/50 I would be willing, but he refuses. I understand where he is coming from. I don't want to be a gold digging girlfriend that asks for thousands to be spent on her. But it kind of annoys me that we're living a poor, recent graduate lifestyle when we could be living so much more nicely with no real added expense to him. Is this unreasonable? It also worries me for the future. I want to marry and have a family with this guy. Is he going to deny our kids a private school education because I can't afford half, when he could pay it five times over? Are we going to take them to lesser doctors because I can't afford half the insurance, when he could pay the entire visit out of pocket? I'm not saying we need to live lavishly, I just wish everything didn't have to be 50/50 when we're not financially equal. I just don't know if I'm being unreasonable. He seems to think that the wealth of a family should match the lowest common denominator. TL;DR: Wealthy boyfriend makes more than enough for us to live a nicer lifestyle, but chooses to split everything 50/50, leading us to live a life below what I believe our means allow. RELEVANT COMMENTS ginjjer To be honest, those actions make me think that he doesn't see this as his entire future. I get it. I wouldn't want to be seen as a gold digger, either. But wage disparity exists in lots of relationships, and sometimes one party is going to carry more of the financial weight. That's life and love. Also. I think the wedding thing really bothered me. I mean, if you want me to travel with you, why wouldn't you offer to help with the expense? Otherwise, I'll be at home and see you when you get back. I just can't imagine straining myself financially for someone who clearly is THAT concerned about money and how much they have and keeping it all to themselves. :( OOP Normally I would be inclined to agree with you, but he does want to get married. If things went his way we would be married by the end of this year. For my own reasons I never wanted to get married before 30, but I've been willing to compromise for him because I really do love him. We will probably be married within the next two years. The wedding thing did bug me, but I also kind of understand it. His sister and I get along very well and I consider her a good friend. I wouldn't want to miss out on her wedding. It's not like I was just his plus one at a random wedding. But I do wish he had helped me out a little, especially since paying for my ticket or even just paying for all of the rental car would've helped me out a lot and not even made a dent in his pocket. volupe_hermoine What's he going to do when you're married? Still insist you pay for half of everything? Or will you merge finances? OOP He wants to merge finances. We have a pretty strict budget right now, and it gets split 50/50 from our own money. When we get married he says that we will have a joint account that goes towards what we split now. Little, personal expenses (like haircuts, trips out with friends, etc) would be paid for from our own separate accounts. I just don't really see that happening given how strict he is now. If he wants to do something and I can't afford it, we don't do it. Which I get. I think that's reasonable. But I also think we've been together for four years...I'm not his pal bumming money for a cigarette. I'm his live-in girlfriend, and most of what I buy he benefits from, too, anyway. [deleted] That sounds like he'll have an endless supply of fun money and you'll have nothing. Marital expenses should be proportional in most cases. If you're living together, I think that would apply as well. OOP Our situation isn't quite as dire as that. I think a lot of this post made it sound like I'm dirt poor, when that isn't the case. But I've only been working for four years. We live in a rather expensive city. I do well for my age, but I'm definitely still very conscious of my spending habits, and I'm trying to build up my savings before I get to the age where I'm wanting to buy a house or start a family. I'm 26...I don't know too many 26 year olds who can afford fancy wine from fancy stores or fly across country and stay in nice hotels on short notice. At least not if they're smart about their money. I do agree they expenses should be proportional. I just don't know how to get him to see that. ~ Marzy-d How does he justify making you pay for his dog? Do you get half ownership of the dog? Visitation when you guys break up? Not cool. OOP When he moved in I kind of "assumed" equal ownership of the dog. We care for it equally, it's not like he's taking sole care of it. Whoever is up first feeds him, whoever is home first walks him, etc. So it kind of makes sense that we would both pay, but at the same time I agree with you. While I don't see us breaking up, it could happen, and the dog would definitely go with him. And there I am having spent thousands of dollars of the course of a few years for an animal I don't even have. We have a set budget, that gets split 50/50 for household things. The dog just got lumped in there. Marzy-d Well, unlump it. He needs to pay for his own dog. He is either incredibly naive about money, or he feels it is OK to take advantage of you. I would suggest that he probably eats more than half of the food he makes you pay half for as well. It fine to make sure that both people pull their weight financially. But he is causing you to spend extra money for him, even though he has far more money than you. Have you asked him why he thinks its ok to be selfish like this? OOP I don't really think of it as him being selfish, I guess. I was raised in a household where money was completely pooled, so I guess I'm just having a hard time adjusting. And I realize that we're not married. But we have been in a relationship for over 4 years and live together. I wouldn't ask him to spend a dime more if we were still just casually dating or living apart, or even if we lived together but had only been dating for a year or so. He is actually pretty smart about money, which I like about him. But it's not like he's totally frugal. He just bought himself a really nice watch "just because." Hell, even the gifts he buys me are always around the price point of what I could afford half of, even though I don't pay. And I feel absolutely awful for even mentioning that, because I truly do appreciate everything he has ever gotten me. But it's also kind of hurtful to seem him buy his sisters and family these really nice, luxury items, and then I get the same sub-$100 gifts he gets his friends. They're always thoughtful, which I appreciate, but at the same time...come on. I do agree that I need to stop paying for the dog. I just also have a sort of hard time actually saying that, because I do enjoy and benefit from the dog just as much as he does. I do love dogs and grew up with them, I'd want one again one day. I just didn't want one right now. ~ RaspberryBliss Tell him if he doesn't want to pay the difference between what you can afford and what he wants to have, then he needs to quit complaining about what you can afford. That's not a fair or nice thing to do to your partner. OOP He should be home from work within the next hour and I will be discussing everything with him then. I'm going to propose that we rework out original budget so that the percentage of income is even, rather than just split the cost of everything equally. OOP added this as a response to a comment He's 100% an "our money" person, and has said he wants to have a joint account to cover major expenses from after marriage. Small personal expenses would be covered independently, but even that would be out of ease (not having to check with the other spouse before getting a $50 haircut or buying a new pair of shoes, for example.) Otherwise what's his is mine and vice versa. I guess I just think it's a little unreasonable to wait two years to get married to start doing that at all. I'm not saying we should pool our finances right now, but if he wants fancy meat from a specialty butcher for dinner one night, why doesn't he buy it? Yeah, I'll eat half of it, but we're both benefiting from it. If he wants to live in a nicer place, I don't think it's unreasonable that he picks up the difference. If I'm working late, I don't think it's crazy to ask him to go pick up shampoo/toothpaste/whatever and not ask me to pay him the $4 back. I would be happy to do the same for him. Update July 6, 2016 (Next Day) Original post here A couple people had asked for an update after I talked to my boyfriend today, so here goes: It's been a long afternoon. He got home early this afternoon (he had a dentist appointment and just came home after) and I had my "presentation" ready for him. He listened to everything I had to say about not thinking things were fair, how his wants were starting to cause a financial strain on me, how I wished we could work out some sort of new system. The conversation didn't last long. I laid it all out, he listened without saying a word. As soon as I was done he said he would not budge on the 50/50 split, that that is the way it will be until after we're married and it is not something he was willing to compromise on. I told him that if that was the case I did not know if I would be able to continue the relationship. He said that if that was the way I felt then that was the way it was going to be, because he wasn't budging. He did say we could get married very soon if it was that big of a deal to me, but at that point I was pretty much over it. I'm not going to marry someone before I'm ready just for financial security. So he left to take his dog for a walk, I packed up some of my things, and had a coworker with a truck come and help me load some stuff up. When I was ready to go my (ex)boyfriend handed me a check. Apparently during all of this he had figured out how much he "owed" me. Our apartment lease is up at the end of August, and we had prepaid. He had written out the check for my half, as well as what he estimated was left of the groceries that I would not be consuming and what he figured I had spent on dog expenses over the course of our relationship. Yeah. So I guess he was fair to the very end. I've told him I'll be back on Friday to get the rest of my things. For now I'm staying with a good friend who has an extra bedroom, and I'm hoping I can find a new apartment soon. So things definitely didn't go the way I planned. I'm not happy about it, but I guess I'm glad I figured out now instead of a year from now when I'm shopping for a wedding dress. Thanks to everyone for the advice. TL;DR: Boyfriend didn't want to budge. We broke up. I'm now single and hunting for my own apartment within my own price range. RELEVANT COMMENTS Fisgig I bet you anything that since this guy was old enough to realize the importance of money, he was drilled with lessons from his parents that you should never, under any circumstances, support someone financially until marriage. The 50/50 split was probably something he was taught as a way of protecting himself and his assets and he followed it to the letter. Unfortunately, like a lot of people from money, he did not realize the financial impact on you of raising your standard of living. This is where he needed to budge a little bit. OOP I think you are right. As horrible as all of this seems, he really isn't a bad guy. I wouldn't have stayed with him for nearly 5 years if he was. But his ideas about how money and relationships work are totally different than mine, and I can't compromise on everything. I'm not happy that it ended this way, but what's done is done. ~ cfdagola I will say this one thing despite the bad outcome. Of all the men in the world who go absolutely psycho and "work harder" and start stalking people or who generally just can't accept that their SO is leaving them and have mental break downs and all the things in between. this guy stroked a check like a business man handed it to her and went about his day. I mean that is both strange and rare. but it's so rare that you gotta wonder if there's some hidden issues. I could see Bruce Wayne doing this. But he's also Batman who has heavy mental and emotional issues. Like others have said bullet dodged on this one. OOP He wouldn't have been the man I fell in love with if he went crazy and tried to win me back. That's not the kind of relationship we had. Which isn't to say I don't think the check thing was totally bizarre, I do...but I think that was just his little way of saying "fuck you." Like when a kid is told to eat slower and then takes an hour to finish dinner or something. OOP to a deleted commenter Thanks to u/Competitive-Bed-91 for finding this comment He wanted things I couldn't afford. Which is fine. But I told he could pay a bit more and have those things, or 50/50 and live on my terms and what I can afford. He didn't want to budge. And then continued to complain or push for more expensive things. For instance, he knows what type of meat I can afford. We split groceries 50/50. And then he would come home with expensive cuts and ask for my half. That's not okay. He wanted a very pricy apartment. I said it wasn't going to work with my budget. He would continue to leave flyers for very expensive places on my lunch or in the hallway where I would see it. If he wants those things, then yeah, I don't think a 50/50 split is fair if it means he just gets to keep his money and I'm struggling to make ends meet.

Honey I washed the kids shampoo bar. It started with it getting stuck in the tin so he just kept it in there and would just rub the whole thing on his head and when it got deeper, he just used his fingers to scoop a bit of the product out. Until one day, it suddenly turned translucent like this and he said it doesn't lather anymore 😂 submitted by /u/trudisbulilit to r/LushCosmetics [link] [comments]

I am currently using the lush shampoo bar, but my hair feels “squeaky clean” afterwards and I’m looking into getting a different bar (and I don’t like driving to the mall whenever I need a new one) I have been looking into ethique and kitsch, but wanted to get some curly haired people’s recommendations as well. TIA! Routine: Wash hair 2x a week using: Lush coconut rice cake shampoo bar Conditioner: redken all soft and Trader Joe’s shea butter and coconut oil hair mask After the shower: brush with bounce curl brush run cream through my hair, scrunch w/ tshirt, finger curl, and scrunch with mousse Cream: not your mothers curl cream OR mark anthony strictly curls lotion Mousse: not your mothers curl talk mousse Non hair washing routine: spray with water, scrunch with mousse as necessary, spray with leave in conditioner if I used mousse Non hair washing routine products: Mousse: shea moisture frizz free Leave in: mark anthony leave in conditioner submitted by /u/Ok-Virus-2035 to r/curlyhair [link] [comments]

I travel quite a bit and have spent quite a bit of time in hotels. I've noticed that hotels now for the most part have changed over from bars of soap and sample size options for shampoo and shower products to large pump dispensers of the same items. On the surface it makes sense as I'm sure they are wasting a lot of product that goes unused and is disposed of. On the other hand, I don't trust anyone that has been in that room before me. I have no way to know if anyone opened those containers and deposited anything in them. I've found really gross things in rooms, and this is just a recipe for disaster. The first thing I do before going to the hotel is stop and grab a bar of soap and shampoo so I can avoid the pump dispensers like the plague. I will say, and I can't recall what brand, I stayed in Florida at a place that had a locking mechanism that the bottles were held in to prevent them from being opened. Thoughts? Or am I just overreacting? submitted by /u/Agile_Sea_6447 to r/Vent [link] [comments]

Shower gel is the biggest scam ever, it doesn't even lather up properly and it gets used faster. A bar of soap lasts longer and is cheaper, like WAY cheaper. A bar of soap is like a dollar while a bottle of body wash is like 5-15 dollars. This does not apply to shampoo and conditioner, just body wash. submitted by /u/WinterMoist333 to r/Frugal [link] [comments]

I'm trying to switch to mostly bar shampoo and conditioner but I'm struggling to find something that doesn't dry out my skin due to my long hair. I have fine straight hair that gets oily within a day to a day 1/2 So far I've tried Basin: The Egg Noggin' shampoo bar dried out all the skin on my neck and caused it to peel for over a week, I also tried the Kombucha shampoo bar and had no issues with it but I don't remember particularly loving it either Currently I'm using Muun Rice Water Shampoo and my neck and hands had began to dry out again, so I think it is time for a change once more Any recommendations? submitted by /u/Adorable_Goat_2092 to r/ZeroWaste [link] [comments]
