Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on May 12, 2026

Asked by Anonymous - May 08, 2026Hindi
Relationship
I recently started dating my girlfriend, and naturally I wanted her to feel special and comfortable, so I've been spending quite a lot on outings, gifts, food, cabs, and small surprises - almost like treating her like a princess. I genuinely enjoy doing these things, but at the same time I'm also starting to worry about my own finances and limited pocket money. Sometimes I even end up borrowing money from friends just to keep up the same level of spending. Now I'm confused because I don't want the relationship to become too dependent on money or expensive treatment from my side. I also have a small fear in my mind - what if she slowly gets used to this lifestyle and keeps expecting the same all the time? How do I maintain a healthy balance between being caring and generous in a relationship while also staying financially practical and not putting pressure on myself?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
It is great that you have been spoiling your girlfriend with gifts, outings, etc. I am sure she appreciates them. But in a healthy relationship, the material things matter less than the effort and thought you are putting behind them. If you are in a solid relationship, your partner won't mind even if you are not giving her expensive gifts or taking her out to expensive restaurants. Moreover, what you are feeling right now is a healthy realization. Couples often confuse the initial bonding as something that needs constant spending of money. That does make your partner happy, but that is not exactly what makes her fall in love with you.

Now realistically, the biggest sign that your approach needs adjustment is that it's getting heavy on your pockets and you are borrowing money to keep up the experience. This is where it needs to be checked because this approach is not sustainable. Relationships are about emotional safety and comfort, not a financial performance. Too many expensive gestures can lead a couple to lose sight of the actual connection. Here's a healthier balance: cut down on the luxury; instead of an expensive restaurant, go for a cup of tea, maybe. See how she responds to the scaling down. If it really affects your relationship, it was never strong to last. Ideally, it should not matter. Don't build romance on financial stress. Moreover, if she ever mentions that you don't do the grand things you once did, it doesn't immediately mean she is materialistic. Sudden cutdown can feel like losing attention. Just communicate the financial aspect of it honestly. Let her know that as much as you loved doing them for her, it was really difficult to maintain, but are still doing everything but maybe in a smaller scale that fits your budget. There's nothing wrong in that, please remember that.

Hope this helps.
