A woman’s relationship has been branded as “bizarre” and “creepy” after she revealed her ex-boyfriend’s unusual money management technique.
As 26-year-old Maddy from Toronto, Canada, explained, her ex-boyfriend sent her an extensive spreadsheet consisting of the things he paid for during their three-year relationship.
Categorized by months, the spreadsheet included hundreds of foods and items that the “toxic” ex expected his former girlfriend to repay.
Among other listings, there are entries such as Uber rides, juice, burgers, various meals at restaurants, and more. The boyfriend even listed minor things such as a single banana or a piece of bread he once got for his partner.
Though viewers immediately branded the sheet as a major red flag, Maddy insisted it didn’t shock her that much because her boyfriend gradually began introducing his shared expenses system into their relationship while they were still dating.
“It wasn’t this big discussion or this shocking email that I woke up to one morning. It was more so him gradually asking me to start splitting more things with him,” she added.
“Like, if he would bring over a bottle of wine on date night, he would ask me for $6. I know, that’s weird. It got to the point where there were so many expenses juggling around both of our heads that he was like, ‘This is easier if I write it down.’”
Maddy continued: “Since we were both working and both on our computers, he thought it would be best to send it in an email.
“That email would gradually turn into a document and then that turned into the infamous excel. This was all over the course of a couple years, so it wasn’t that shocking.”
Maddy also revealed that she only realized she had enough of the cheapskate after he asked her to pay $3.23 for a banana and a piece of bread that she ate while visiting his mother.
As the woman explained, she bought gifts for her boyfriend’s parents only to get charged for eating a small breakfast.
Soon enough, Maddy’s story went viral on TikTok where viewers found the man’s tactics far from normal.
“This is CRAZY. I would hate to live like this. I can barely remember my expenses each day much less to do this,” someone wrote.
“Splitting major (bills, groceries, vacations, etc.) expenses while living together is completely reasonable for two working adults. But asking you to pay for a banana and a toast at his mom’s is super weird,” another added.
A third said: “People who do this are not looking to build with their significant other. I’m an investment. Our life together is an investment that takes time.”
