SALARY WOES (dificuldades, problemas) | My high-earning (altos ganhos, renda elevada) girlfriend pays for our holidays and it makes me feel like less of a man.

DEAR DEIDRE: I’M treated to lavish (extravagante) holidays I can’t afford by my girlfriend, and it makes me feel like less of a man.

We both work in schools. She’s a head (diretora) , aged 39, and I am a 32-year-old PE (educação física) teacher.

Although she says her higher salary is not an issue, it is to me, especially when it comes to (quando se trata de) holidays.

When she suggested New York, I told her I’m up to my eyeballs (atolado) in debt and asked if we could go somewhere more affordable (acessível), like Majorca.

The next day she texts me saying it’s all booked (reservado) – her treat (agrado, mimo, presente).

She says I’m being ungrateful (ingrato) but I don’t feel comfortable with this.

DEIDRE SAYS: Being able to talk to your partner openly and honestly about everything, including money, is important.

Find a moment with your girlfriend to explain how you feel undermined (boicotar, sabotar, prejudicar).

Rarely do two people earn the exact same amount of money.

There are a lot of ways you can contribute to a relationship besides (além de, tirando) monetarily.
