He Found Out His Girlfriend Had $40,000 Saved Up And Asked Her To Contribute To The Bills, But She Became Furious
This twenty-three-year-old man has been dating his girlfriend for five years now, and they are both part-time college students while working full-time in their fields.
He lucked out and was able to secure a good sales position where he makes between sixty and sixty-five thousand dollars per year. At the same time, his girlfriend works as a dental assistant and makes about thirty-seven thousand dollars a year with bonuses.
Anyway, due to their income differences, he has been paying for everything since they recently moved in together. After all, he claims he was under the impression that his girlfriend had no money and wanted her to start saving.
“And I didn’t want to burden her, as her schooling is more difficult than mine,” he added.
Plus, his girlfriend apparently always said that she had no money because of her bills. But, he was not sure what bills she was actually talking about.
Apparently, her car was paid for by her father, and her college tuition is covered for free by her employer. So, the only remaining bills are her car insurance and whatever charges she puts on her credit card.
“I, on the other hand, had to put down all the deposits for the apartment. I currently pay one thousand dollars for rent, plus roughly four hundred dollars for all other utilities,” he explained.
Additionally, he has other personal bills on top of that– such as his own car insurance and college tuition.
Still, he recognized that his girlfriend did help out with other expenses– such as groceries and laundromat expenses– and was fine with their arrangement for a while.

But that was until his girlfriend accidentally left one of her bank statements out in the apartment, and he found out that she actually had $40,000 in her savings account.
He was dumbfounded after seeing that and started questioning why he was paying so much more than her when she had way more money put away than he did.
So, he decided to bring up her savings account after they got into an argument about money, and his girlfriend was really angry.
In fact, she accused him of snooping around in her personal belongings. Then, she said that since he makes double her salary, he should be paying for most of the expenses.
So now, he is at a loss about what to do. He does not want to be covering everything if his girlfriend is able to contribute. Still, though, he is not sure if asking her to pitch in after seeing her back account was a jerky thing to do.
What would you do if you found out your partner really had more money than they let on? Do you think it is reasonable for him to ask his girlfriend to contribute or not? How would you handle this situation?
