When it comes to dating life, there are only two ends of a spectrum and that is either you&rsquo;re really single and you get to spend all your money for yourself or you&rsquo;re in a relationship and frequently pay for your significant other.
In today&rsquo;s realm of dating, we can&rsquo;t help but point out that chivalry is almost dead as almost no one ever opens or holds the doors, pulls the chair before you have a seat or pays the bill in full. However, the current generation has now evolved and couples are now splitting the expenses or taking turns paying for dates. Honestly speaking, that&rsquo;s the right way to do it as everyone has their own struggles and it&rsquo;s good that couples nowadays are more financially responsible.
But not all relationships and dates could go smoothly, especially when it comes to &ldquo;modern dating&rdquo;.
M&rsquo;sian Ends Up With RM27K Debt
Recently, a man took to Facebook to share his dilemma as to how he isn&rsquo;t willing to tell his girlfriend to split the bill. Because of his action, he is now left with financial trouble.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Ffollowxuanplay%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02PTu71aryj4B3WDbSZau6z2LRh2Dm9pLT64kpFMFRXkPdkB8dgvKpKStV64sW8j8Ll&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="659" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
In the post, the anonymous man shared that he had been dating his girlfriend for about 2 years and she has become accustomed to enjoying the finer things in life mainly due to coming from a wealthy family background.&nbsp;

His girlfriend insists that they should always go out to expensive cafes, have hotpots or even enjoy barbecue restaurants when it comes to going out for dates. Eateries like this are not cheap and a meal for 2 can sometimes cost over RM200 per meal according to the man. To add on to the cost, his girlfriend also insists on having short 2-3 days staycations during the long holidays.
Feels Bad To Tell Her

According to the man, he feels bad for asking his significant other to pay half of the expenses and decided to bare the cost of it all. But this led him to get into credit card debt after a year. Currently, he is only able to pay the minimum payments on his credit card which eventually led to worsening his financial situation.
&ldquo;I can only pay the minimum amount, the interest has been snowballing and now I have racked up a debt of RM27K,&rdquo; he said.
Though he wants to explain about his situation to his girlfriend, the thought of her feeling sad and the possibility of them breaking up had made him afraid to do so.
Netizens Advice The Man To Explain His Situation To His Girlfriend
Browsing through the comment section, many netizens pity the man and understand his dilemma. However, they do agree that hiding the issue isn&rsquo;t the right move as it could lead to more issues in the future. They even told him that he should be open to his girlfriend and tell her his current situation in hopes she understands it.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments: 
"You shouldn't have started by pretending to be someone you're not, you should be honest when times are tough. There's a reason why people say that we should marry someone who matches our social status. The person who truly loves you will understand you."
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1f948aaeadab312a01b5301bf2ba28e021bf5007fc66a8030b4505b9667ee5e4" />
"If two people cannot understand and support each other, how can their relationship last long? If you encounter financial difficulties, you should communicate honestly with your partner. If she truly loves you, she won't look down on you, but instead will go through it with you."
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/cd9eadba5d1ea37a49891324abb7f24d04ea37f62b2a11b56f8d30af7add3a83" />
"This is just my personal opinion... We should always be honest with each other. If we want to move forward together, we shouldn't deceive each other. If we want to hold hands and grow old together, can we bear the burden alone? In the future, we will live together... Shouldn't we have a mutual understanding about marriage, raising children, and other aspects of life? Otherwise, we will be left with a pile of chicken feathers... Let's move forward together with honesty and sincerity 🫶🏻."

"Just be honest with her. If you tell her the truth and she understands, then you are meant to continue together. Otherwise, you will be the one under a lot of pressure. If you are too afraid to tell her the truth, then breaking up is the best choice. You will have no stress, no worries, and no debt to pay off, and you will feel much lighter."
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/57d93d0122a3538d599ffb9eb460708c68d3be04efb9a4834b89934a2f09e3cd" />
Though it is great that the man tries to keep his girlfriend happy, there comes a point where he will need to tell the truth to his girlfriend to avoid any disappointment. Nowadays, it&rsquo;s been a trend for many to practice the &ldquo;buy now pay later&rdquo; scheme and by the looks of it, it&rsquo;s quite worrying to see how many of us will struggle to financially support ourselves in the future yet alone potentially needing to support a family if they get married.
Hopefully, the man reads the advice in the comment section and will finally come clean to his girlfriend. While staying on the topic, it&rsquo;s best that the youth should start planning their expenses better whether they&rsquo;re single or in a relationship ensuring they have enough to survive, even on a rainy day.
