A mixture of bitterness, resentment, anger but mostly is disappointment. I think both of us are feeling the same way. He perceived me as a materialistic and calculative girl. On the other hand, I do not trust his financial management and his branded mentality.
I have been keeping tabs on our expenditure, even drawing up a journal. 'Darling, let me show you something unbelievable!' I told him one fine day. He was apparently shocked that he could 'owe' me that much of money. I will never forget his I-cannot-believe-you look when I showed him the spreadsheet.
He was apparently dismayed that I even split the Ben & Jerry's bill to two. Each person supposes to pay $5.50. To him, this is just a small sum of money. Yes, it is but if you add up 'these kinds of small sums', it adds up to a hundred. Not forgetting that it is what ONE person should pay.
I also cannot believe my ears when he say that he does not even bother to ask me back for the movie's money back that he had paid. He could not understand how I can be that petty and count right down to the dollars and cents.
Simple. I paid by the hundreds and you paid by the tens. We have agreed to go dutch and the balance is what you owe.
PS: I did deduct whatever you paid for me. Even that $1.20 rose syrup drink.
