'You make good money, so what's the big deal?': 24-year-old woman spends boyfriend's money without permission, spending hundreds of dollars on shopping, leading him to demand a breakup

My boyfriend's income is bigger than mine, but never have I ever spent his money because of that. Sure, his contribution to the rent is slightly bigger, and during tighter months, he takes care of the bills, but I would never use his money to buy myself stuff that I don't really need. 

If I can't afford it on my own, there is no reason he should buy it for me.

That is the mantra the girl in the story should have followed if she wanted to keep her boyfriend around. Most couples don't have equal earnings, so setting boundaries and ground rules is crucial if they want the relationship to succeed. If any one of them disrespects the other's income, the chances they would be able to take care of a household together are slim. Which is exactly why the couple in the story below failed.

This young man grew tired of the way his girlfriend treats his money, and she refused to admit that she takes advantage of their differences in income. Keep scrolling to read the full tale.
