45- What I would for a guy like that.... I adore a guy that will hold a door for a woman every time no matter what girl. I love a gentlemen and I appreciate it every time when someone does something as little as holding a door open for me :-)

Story of my life -_-

- @126 My fiance is great like that too. He always opens my car door first or any door and allows me to go in before him. Unlike OP's ex though he doesn't feel "emasculated" because I pay a bill or two.

You don't need to date a sexist like that OP, better off!

You're better off with someone who doesn't cry over the possibility of strangers thinking he is less of a man.

My girlfriend has done that to me. In this opportunities I use that extra money buying her something or going elsewhere :) that's what he sould have done

If he acted like that..... Sounds to me you didn't have much to "Emasculate" ! A bit childish to break up over something as simple as that !! What a whining pu$$y !

I wish I could find a girlfriend like you

Uh, why on earth would you do that? His reaction was a bit extreme. But at least he knows his place. He's the man, and if you don't stop acting like one; you will never find one.

I am always the gentlemen when I take a girl out on a date and will always pay the bill when it comes. But I would have no problem whatsoever if she wanted to be nice and pay it herself. I think what you did was wonderful and it shows what a kind and unselfish person you really are. This is NOT the 1950's where the "man" was in charge and was supposed to pay all the bills himself and the "woman" knew her place as housekeeper and mother. A relationship is an equal partnership where both the man and woman contribute. These days you almost can't survive anymore unless both are working full time jobs. If that's how he feels then forget that cry baby and his ego. Find someone who will accept you for who you are.
