26-year-old boyfriend doesn't want girlfriend to join him on vacation to Florida since she can't afford it, she says she'll ask money-insecure father instead: 'I know her family is struggling'

Relationships are usually imbalanced in some way. One of you might be older or younger and have more or less life experience. You might come from different educational backgrounds and thus have access to different kinds of jobs. One of you might be more attractive than the other and thus experience the world a little differently. And one of you might make more money than the other. That seems to be the most common kind of imbalance in a relationship. After all, who is making exactly the same amount as their partner forever?

These imbalances are inevitable. The way you navigate these imbalances, though, is what's worth considering. If you're on the same page as partners and are comfortable communicating with each other, then everything else should be okay. But this is easier said than done, especially when there are tender feelings surrounding certain subjects. That's what happened in this situation, where a couple found themselves disagreeing about money.
