It doesn't really matter to me. When my husband and I first started dating we just took in turns paying for things- but we never split it.

I've been with men in the past who were very particular about paying exactly half for everything, or paying back an extremely specific amount of money - I went shopping with an ex-partner once and he sat me down for twenty minutes calculating what I owed him based on what I ate more of than him. I told him I'd rather just pay for the whole bloody thing than live with constantly trying to even everything out.
