So I love my girlfriend and I'm looking for advice.
I've been with my girlfriend going on 2 years. When we first met it was awesome, I was severely poor, she was poor as well, and we got back on cheap food and love(awwww.)
It's been 20 months and ive graduated college, been through 2 different jobs, my current one being of a good chunk of money. In the last 2 years, she has been going to college and taking a lot of credits. The amount of homework she has is astronomical compared to what I had. Everyweekend I drove 90 miles to pick her up on friday and drive her back monday morning early before I had to work. Everyweekend I paid for her food, the gas, the alcohol, laundry. I was fine with this because at the beginning of our relationship she had a job and kinda fed us.
But now she doesn't/can't work almost at all and paying for her stuff is still alright, but the other day just a simple statement made me irate. She can donate plasma every week and make 40 dollars, I use to do it aswell. When we go grocery shopping she always criticizes what I buy, and she is also able to put stuff of her interest in my cart which doesnt bother me because it keeps me from overeating and buying stupid stuff.
But when we were shopping for groceries the other day, I asked her if she could help pay and she got mad. She stated that she doesnt have a job and the money she gets she wants to use for stuff like clothes and food if Im not around.
I believe the word is resentment..
I was just wondering how you guys would approach this situation, I dont want to confront her and tell her its unfair, but thats the way I feel..
