Let me start by saying that I'm from the U.S. but my girlfriend is not (and we both live outside of the U.S. in her home country now). Her culture is a little behind the times, equality-of-sexes wise, and it is traditional here for men to pay for everything for a girlfriend/wife- to the point where the guy hands over their full paycheck to the GF/wife in some cases and just gets a daily stipend from them.

I understand why this works in some cases, but for our situation it doesn't seem to make any sense to me. She makes way more than I do, and has a lot of money in the bank. Whereas I still struggle to support myself, getting out from under student loans and monthly expenses, even though I've been progressively making more at my job.

&amp;#x200B;

But she still wants me to pay for everything, single-handedly, in our relationship. 100% rent, 100% food, 100% for the cat's stuff, 100% travel expenses, 100% everything else. Meanwhile, she will just continue to save her money 'for a rainy day' or to buy a house under her name only.

&amp;#x200B;

It seems really one sided, and I've gone for some things- like paying full rent and food. But I refuse to budge on other things. AITA since I'm living in her culture (though eventually we plan to move to the U.S.), or is this taking advantage of me?
