>>Gf makes 3x my salary
I'd be happy for her, though a bit jealous I guess

>>I'm counting pennies to buy a house
eh, she didn't make minimum wage either. she COULD have saved. she had multiple options...

>>She insists she pay 50/50
I didn't insist. she asked me only once in 3 years..

>>That's fine because I love her, but it's frustrating because we could make up some other kind of agreement so she can hold a little more weight while I save up money for a house
I guess I fucked up with this, yeah. but again, I had a shit life. I was trying to fix it. even my moms house is shit, and then it's hers because of my help.

>>It's like she doesn't even see a future together
I gotta be honest here: the more I lived with her, the least I thought we had a future together, mostly because she was NOT able to help herself, to help me help her, to save money, to find a better job.
I DID try pushing her to find a better paid job and she only cried about it.
I did try finding a house in the same city we lived in, but she wanted us to live in parts of the city I didn't like (too far from our jobs, too shitty, whatever) or in relatively expensive parts, and I'm not rich for that shit.
I've been poor most of my life and I think things in terms of usefulness/functionality. I take decisions based on my needs, not in terms of feelings, what looks cool or whatever. it bothers me when someone thinks I'm rich just because of my wage. it doesn't work like that and a good wage does NOT ensure me a good future. that's something that bothered me of her: her mentality regarding money...
