C and I survived our first couples trip. The trip was great. We met members of each other's family and friends, and had fun exploring a different city.
This morning, we emailed about who should pay for what, and it was a bit uncomfortable. C has not had a girlfriend since grad school, and I am quite used to men paying for everything. We came to a resolution, but it's hard to gauge the satisfaction of that outcome given that the discussion was entirely over email.
Still, I can't help but think about the influence of money over a relationship. I don't think C and I will break up over this topic, but it will take some adjustment as we do spend money differently.
I am also assessing my own lifestyle needs. How I spend and save money is changing, and that will influence my choices in career and relationships. Hum...
