In a relationship of any kind, one of the most important things is reciprocity. Being able to receive in equal measure, even if it is in a different way, as well as feeling the support of the other, especially if it is a sentimental partner.
Although it is true that for each person their priorities are different and there are those who accept it, others may simply not support the same things. Just as she happened to a TikTok user, that she ended her relationship of years due to a stingy attitude.
Through social networks, users from all over the world share their stories or life anecdotes, with the aim of letting off steam or seeking advice. This is how Jackie Li, a user of the aforementioned platform, recounted the time she ended her boyfriend, with whom she had been with for four years.
One day she had a cold, she felt very bad and she decided to call her boyfriend, who was working, so that when he returned home he would go through medicines, because he really felt very sick.
The boy did what his girlfriend asked him to, because when he got off work he went to CVS (a very famous drugstore chain in the United States) and bought her the medicines. Then he took them away, which Jackie clarifies was very nice and thanks him, but the problem came later.
The girl recounts that she thanked him, took the pills and then went to sleep to relieve the illness, but the next morning, as soon as she woke up, she realized that her boyfriend charged her seven dollars through a payment app, which was what he spent on medicine.

At this, Jackie was simply stunned, because she did not expect her boyfriend to be so stingy as not to want to support her with that expense even when she felt so bad. In addition, the girl says that this situation was what made her realize that “it wasn’t there”, because she also mentioned that it is better for her to have a relationship in which they support each other.
I think I prefer a relationship where it’s like, ‘hey, I’ll pay for this this time and you’ll pay for it next time,’ rather than tracking every dollar-for-dollar expense we make. Anyway, we’re not together anymore. We weren’t meant to be.
The clip went viral, reaching more than five million views, while in the comments section many netizens shared worse stories with their ex-boyfriends and others agreed that he ended it, because if he behaved like that right now, what? what would come next?
‘My ex of two years Venmoed me for the avocado I wanted from the grocery store while we were shopping for dinner’; ‘I split the receipt of bills, restaurant meals, but seven dollar cold medicine when you’re sick in bed?; ‘Flu medicine? I would even give it to an enemy’.
Those are just some of the comments that Jackie received, although there were those who supported the man, since they consider that he has the right to take care of his finances. What do you think? Do you think he made an exaggerated decision?
