Man expects girlfriend of 2 years to subsidize his children's grocery costs: ‘[He] has not been buying groceries for his kids with his own funds’

When did grocery prices get so darn high?! Who cares—the point is, they're expensive now. Even still, it's essential to shop for healthy foods our children can enjoy and ensure they're not putting bad stuff into their bodies every day.

As you enter a new relationship, especially dating as an adult, you want to make clear pretty early on what you expect your partner to do for your children (if any). There might be some confusion about whether your partner is partially financially responsible for your child, even though they are not their biological parent. Early in a relationship, this is usually not what happens. The woman in this next story made it pretty clear that she would not provide for her partner's kids, but he had other plans for her money.

The two share an account where they each deposit a fixed amount of funds each month. So, once their respective funds enter the account, it's for both of them. You'd think, however, that this means either partner would give the other a heads-up about how funds are being spent (and if it's okay to use them for whatever reason). The woman finds out that her partner has been dipping into their joint account to buy groceries for his kids without asking for her permission to do so. Scroll to read.
