In my clown 20s, I was in a long-term relationship with a man who earned $150k/year. We split many things (rent, groceries, tickets to events, etc.) 50/50, and I also thought I would marry him. I was a student for much of the time we were together, and if I'd been a little bit poorer, this post would literally have been my reality.
Thanks for the reminder that going 50/50 with a man can lead to this type of dystopian nightmare.

Yikes. Even my POS abusive, toxic, and manipulative ex had the decency to pay for our dates, groceries, and everything when I was a student and we were dating.
