" I ’m feeling kind of weird about using my winnings for something that does n’t involve me at all . "
How people choose to handle finances in relationships is a personal decision. Maybe one partner pays for dinners out while another pays for experiences and activities. Whatever the situation is, that’s between two people.
This boyfriend found himself in a situation regarding finances in his relationship, and he turned to the subredditr/AITAHtoaskif he was being an asshole to his girlfriend. Here’s his story:
“Alright, Reddit, I (27M) need some outside perspective. My girlfriend, Sarah (25F), and I have been together for three years. Recently, I won a bet on Stake and ended up with a decent chunk of spare cash. Naturally, I was pretty stoked about it. Been thinking about putting it towards something fun or maybe even a small getaway for the two of us.”
The OP continued by explaining, “Sarah’s friends are backing her up, saying I’m being a jerk for not wanting to support her. I’m starting to wonder if I’m in the wrong here. I do want her to have a good time, but I also don’t want to feel like I’m just a bank. So, AITA for not wanting to pay for my girlfriend’s girls' trip?”
This person had a very interesting take that I agree with.
Another person mentioned how the girlfriend’s friends shouldn’t be involved at all — which they shouldn’t be!
Lastly, this commenter pointed out that the OP has every right to do whatever he wants with his own money.
