Dear Abby advises a man who told his girlfriend her birthday order was too expensive, and a man who can’t get over his girlfriend’s past.
Every year my girlfriend and I take each other out for dinner on our birthdays and bring a gift. This year, even though I am currently experiencing financial hardship, I bought her a gift and offered her dinner.
She then said she’d pay for her own meal. I declined her offer and paid, but now I’m wondering if I was wrong. She did pay for half the appetizer, which I didn’t want or eat, and she left the tip. Should have told her before we went out to dinner that I was on a tighter budget? Can our relationship be saved?Strong relationships thrive when there is honest communication. You and the Birthday Girl have been seeing each other for an extended period of time.
