'I'm a piggy bank rather than a partner': Boyfriend refuses to go on vacation with girlfriend after she fails to pay him back for their last two trips, she takes offense

When I first started dating my boyfriend, he was in a much better financial state than I was. He had a serious job with a steady income, and I was still a student who barely managed to squeeze in 2 shifts a week to make enough money to get by. So when we went out on dates, he paid for the majority of them, and after a while, I started to feel quite uncomfortable, mostly because I didn't want him to think that I was trying to take advantage of him. So every time we would go out and he would pull out his wallet, I tried to make it super clear that one day I would repay him.

When we started talking about taking our first trip abroad as a couple, I was firm about waiting until I could actually afford it. Even though he could have easily paid for both of us and had me pay him back when I could, I didn't want to cross that line. It felt wrong.

And after reading the story below, I am more grateful for that decision than ever.

The boyfriend in the story below is at a loss because he feels he is being used as a piggy bank, rather than being treated like an actual boyfriend. While his girlfriend recklessly spends her money on outings and takeouts, he is left paying for everything else, including all their trips together.
But now, the situation has finally reached a boiling point, which has made the boyfriend put his foot down.
