At this point I think you're having us on.

Making a point or something.

Yup. Assuming all these stories are accurate then the OP for sure isn't getting any tonight, but he didn't want to anyway, it is now just a power struggle.

What is left? Lots more drives where they park some place that requires money and each tries to make the other crack first while she searches half-heartedly for a card between heavy hints or they sit pretending they like listening to music at gas stations?

Stick a fork in this association, OP. And next time, no showing off, no implied bribes for sex, and no games.

Huh? So why would you even ask "how are we paying for it"? I don't get that. Wasn't it her car???

This is starting to smell.

Why even go to Taco Bell? Why not have soup and salad or grilled cheese at home? She knows how to grill a sandwich, doesn't she?

Didn't Rocky's girl like Taco Bell too? Who the hell goes to resorts and the opera and then starts pissing contests at Taco Bell and the gas station?
These have become some unpleasant dates, isn't it supposed to be fun and exciting, at least at first? What's the point.
Something stinks over here...

Yeah, that's the part of this that's made me think. It's one thing to plan less extravagant dates and generally cool it with the spending, but to flip a switch instantly from dropping thousands of dollars a weekend to freaking out over $5 or $10 just seems...off.

If all this is really happening, why are these people together anymore? Just end it.

I'm still wondering how he gets all this time off to go to resorts and vacations. Is he self-employed or retired?

Taco Bell, ah, being dead broke at 22 and looking forward to bean burritos and a cup of water for dinner. Nice change up from ramen.

Of course this smells. Duh.

I am all for the "modern dating". This isn't the 1950's anymore. If women wants equal rights/equal pay than a woman has to be willing to pull her own. You can't have it both ways.

When I was dating my husband in the 80's after the first several dates, I paid my share. We took turns. By no means did I expect him to pay for everything.

OP---move on. Money is the root to all evil. This is not going to end well. When money starts to be a problem, it is not going to get better.
