I am a sgwm 40yo and I live in Kansas City. I earn a decent salary just over $50k and I do ok. I have to save money to take vacations, and live on a budget. I am simple country/cowboy type guy not into all the thrills and frills of a material world.
I have recently met a very nice man. He’s Canadian and 34yo. He is very handsome and makes me laugh. He is a good hearted person. However we come from different ends of the track. His earnings are several times what I earn. He has 2 personal assistants, a driver here in town. He lives the high life of spas, personal trainers and such. He jets off for his work to any number of metro areas and meets people like Madonna after their concerts with back stage or private parties.
Now he and I really do get along well, and so far the money and lifestyle differences haven’t been a HUGE issue at least here in KC. However, the other day he hinted at flying off to LA for some big opening. Heck yeah I would like to go, but not on my budget. If he offered to pay for the flight, hotel and such, yeah I could go. However then my pride gets in the way. Plus there is cost of a clothing for this event. I was told wear my wranglers a cool western shirt and I would fit in. He told me to be myself, he likes me that way. That in itself was a relief.
Now comes my PRIDE. I have always paid my own way in this world. My bills are paid, and most everything I have is as well. How can this work? Anyone been in a similar situation have any advice?
