>gf and I both in late 20s
>she earns a great deal more than me
>she comes from wealth. I don’t
>I’m always expected to pay when we out or or movies or whatever
>it’s really taking a toll, I just got my first job last year

Sick of this shit desu. How do I ask her to pay occasionally without sounding like a cheap fag? She is not struggling at all btW, she works in a field where they make amazing money but I’m just basically a doormat
Is there a right way to do this?

If she doesn't just do it naturally she either doesn't give a fuck about you or she is afraid of making you feel emasculated if she doesn't allow you to pay. You have to discern for yourself which case it actually is.

Even without an income gap, 21st Century etiquette says that after the first couple of dates, couples should share dating expenses - either splitting bills or, more usually, alternating paying. (Nobody keeps score down to the penny)

Even without the income gap, each should recognize when the other has budget limits, either temporary or continuing. A cheap date should be as welcome as a splurging one.

Take it from someone in the same situation, you'll feel like shit.
My ex also had one of those bullshit super high pay work from home answer 3 emails a week jobs that paid 3x my wage for no reason at all, and it made me feel like a loser for even waking up to work. Like I'm the town's bitch boy because I actually worked my ass off and even had overtime, and I still earned less than her for basically no reason. Main reason I broke up with her. Yeah I was too insecure, whatever

Underage girls should toughen up and stop crying about "molestation"

Tell that bitch she has more money to spend on bullshit. Shit is too expensive she better start paying up or you'll leave her dumb ass

>late 20s
>just got my first job last year
You probably have more money than the average anon if you were able to coast without working until your late 20s.
