Dear Diana,
I'm 27 and my girlfriend is 25. We've been going out for quite some time now and we've known each for more than five years. Initially, I thought she's wise when it comes to money. Turns out I was mistaken. I think she is a miser and it's difficult to be with her at times. I must admit that she is a remarkably nice person and cares for everyone around her. But at the same time, I feel she can loosen up a bit as she earns more than me.

Dear Amit,
Your girlfriend seems to be conscious of how she spends her money. If this habit of hers irks you, you should tell her nicely. She might have her own reasons that you are unaware of. Or perhaps you end up paying whenever you two are out together so she assumes that you will pick the tab and does not want to spend any money. Either way, talk to her about it so that she realises that this is something that affects you.
