When two people start a new relationship, the differences between their financial states can become a gap that is hard to overlook, which can seriously affect the nature of the relationship. With one usually having more money than the other, any costly outing can become awkward and confusing for them both. However, all of that can be solved simply by good communication between the two. Suppose a couple simply talked about their financial differences and had a mature conversation about what they can do to deal with it. In that case, a lot of arguments can be prevented, like the argument in this Reddit story.

OP (original poster), and her boyfriend are not in the same place financially. He has his parents' support and she had to work her way through college. So when he suggested they go on vacation together, OP openly communicated with him that she could not afford it. He then insisted on paying for the whole thing, so OP reluctantly agreed. Now, a day into the vacation, OP's boyfriend feels they are spending too much too fast and decides to blame it on OP.
