I believe in splitting cost but even when out for coffee or meal, i always have to get out my exact 50%.He says this normal but im not sure if its an excuse cos he is snyde with money? what does anyone think?

 If after two years he still taking out the calculator for coffee? No, it's not normal. Everyone makes compromises in a relationship including in money matters, but this is extreme. Take him out on Valentine's Day, say it's a surprise just for him. And get him a gift and take it on the date, give the gift during the dinner, then when the check comes tell him to annie up for his dinner plate and half the cost of the gift. Hopefully he'll get the picture. I hate to say it but I don't think he's changing anytime soon. Money issues play big parts in relationships as you already know because you guys argue about yours. As long as he's pinching pennies with you, prepare for more argueing. Best of luck to you.
