No matter how in love a couple is, money is always an awkward matter. People get insecure about how much they make in comparison to their partner, and it creates uncomfortable settings. We wish we weren't weird about these things, but money is what makes the world work, and for that reason, we all want to get our hands on as much cash as possible. Couples, who we would assume spend a lot of time together, should be on the same page when it comes to money matters. Everyone handles money differently, but it should definitely be a conversation with your partner before the two get into something long-term. In today's 'Am I the A$$hole?' post, OP posted about how her fiance has very expensive taste, even though he doesn't have the salary he needs to meet his expensive taste. He's always asking her to cover expensive trinkets that he wants, and she's officially had enough. Scroll down to read all the details behind the drama.

    Font - Me (F/32) and my fiancè (M/30) Aaron have been together for 2 years. I have a high paying job and work long hours. he has (used to) a 3 week shift in a job that pay (ied) x5 less than mine. We're on pretty great terms on everything except money. He's a big spender and spends so much on fancy stuff although his job does not give him this luxury. He constantly likes, and wants new stuff like watches, gadgets, electronics and car accessories and I do my best to use every occasion (like chris

    Listen, we want nice things too, but we have to be realistic about how much we're able to actually spend.

    Organism - Lately, and after he lost his job, I've been noticing him tagging along whenever I go shopping then have me buy him expensive stuff right there and then. I end up paying to avoid causing a scene in public because he'd beg me then start throwing a fit if I refuse.

    Font - I talked to him about it since it seemed like a pattern but he said he "just happened" to see something he liked and thought I could pay for it. I told him that I no longer feel comfortable with this and that next time he tries to put me on the spot, then have me pay for something he likes then throw a tantrum if I refuse then I'd walk out and leave him there. He crossed his heart and said he'd NEVER do such thing.

    Font - On wednesday, we went to the mall to get a father's day gift for mt dad and we walked by the accessories store. Aaron told me to stop and follow him as he entered the store. I knew this wasn't going well because he repeatedly tried on this watch that was worth over 350$$,,,, and expressed his admiration for it. He then asked if I could pay for it but I said no and lied about having only 300 for my dad's gift which's why we were there in the first place. He started going on and on about ho

    Font - I got in my car and went home. He started calling me non stop but we didn't talk til he got home. He blew up saying I reacted ridiculously and selfishly after he begged me and I refused. he said that I then made a joke out of him by walking out and leaving him at the mall. I told him of what I said would happen if he decided to put me in this position again, he argued that all he was asking was for just 350$$ and even showed me a small notebook saying he's been writing down everything I p

    Font - He yelled at me then out to meet his friends. His best friend tried to get involved by shaming me for how I behaved at the mall and hinting that what I was doing was borderline financial control.

    Product - MuchProfessional7953 - 11 hr. ago I hate to tell you this but I doubt he has any intentions of getting another job while he's got you buying him whatever he wants. He needs to grow up. You need to dump him.

    Font - Lux_Brumalis 12 hr. ago Asshole Aficionado [18]] NTA. Do not marry this man. He doesn't want a wife/partner, he wants an ATM. He's not your fiancé, he's where your financial health goes to die.
