One couple that had been together for many years started to feel the strain on their relationship when they found themselves starting to have very different values. He says he just wants to spend time out with her, not just her friends. She says she would prefer saving up their money that would be spent on 'going out' for travel and quality time.
My (29M) girlfriend (25F) have been together for a little over 5 years. She’s rather introverted and doesn’t drink or enjoy going out. She’d rather stay in and watch a movie or go to a nice dinner.
I don’t mind doing this sometimes, but sometimes I feel like it would be nice to have some drinks with my girlfriend. It feels like all she does is go to work, work on her dissertation, go to the gym, and sleep.
