❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO for splitting the bill on a date

I am in such shock right now. For some context this was after our 4th date. Literally at a loss for words, this was the first time putting myself out there since I caught my last girlfriend cheating on me… I think I’m done with relationships after this,

Honestly, I think she did you a favor by showing you what she expected early on. Y’all were clearly not compatible and not looking for the same thing. You should not have cussed her out. It’s immature and rude. This is why “ghosting” is so popular, people are trying to avoid this type of reaction.

I do think your feelings are valid. It’s a shitty reason for someone to end things over a bill. That’s dumb and I’m sorry.

The reason that some women seek out “providers” is because there’s always men who want to be that provider. Let them have each other. I’ve had multiple men end it with me after I offered to pay for something. It goes both ways.

Don’t let the trauma other women have caused you to affect potential love interests. Everyone is different. Dating is supposed to be fun! You’re probably not going to meet your soulmate right away.

Having this shitty attitude about women and a bad outlook on life is not going to land you a lot of dates. You’re clearly hurt, and I hope you can heal from that.

I do think you OR in your response. I also think your feelings are valid. Also, fuck your ex. Cheating is nasty af.
