He had offered to cover groceries because he earned far more, but after he told her that paying for groceries would count toward the debt, she took over that expense. \nShe wrote that he never corrected the agreement and watched her follow it while she covered most of their shared costs.\nThe OP wrote she covered between 80% and 90% of their groceries, averaging about $800 each month. She also paid for a monthly activity they did together, which cost between $400 and $800. \nBased on her calculations, her contributions totaled between $28,800 and $38,400 over two years. She wrote that she managed those expenses while believing she was following the repayment method he approved.\nTrending: Missed Tesla?

She added that conversations about repayment often led to conflict, which made her avoid raising the topic.\n\"I had faith it would level out and we'd find ways to make things a bit more balanced,\" the OP wrote. \"Or as assumed, I'm a complete idiot.\" \nA lot of comments responded to OP's situation, with many focusing on how the repayment was handled and whether she had records of what she paid. \"Not the a** hole – back date and invoice him for his share of the groceries and dates. Tell him since there was a misunderstanding, he needs to pay his share in cash,\" one Redditor wrote. \n\"She should look for her receipts, or card statements, but I don’t think OP is that financially savvy.
