Its been about two months since I (25M) recently started dating a girl (27F) and it’s been going pretty well. I’m currently a PhD student so I don’t make a lot (~37k) and she has a regular job (~80k). I usually pay for all our dates and but she occasionally pitches in for things here and there. She also has a car and I don’t (planning on getting one soon though), so we use her vehicle which she pays gas for. I buy her gifts occasionally which aren’t crazy expensive, but they add up. I don’t think I’ve gotten anything from her yet. I feel like I am investing a lot more financially into this relationship which is putting some strain on me, and I am not sure how to bring this up to her. We are quite open about money, and I see a future with this woman which is why so far I have been okay paying for her, but I would like a more equitable distribution going forth. Any advice on how to navigate this conversation from folks who have gone through this? submitted by /u/Aniruddhb16
