<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

I live off food stamps; he's a one percent-er. We come from very different worlds and pride is deeply ingrained in me--you don't ask people for money and it's not okay for them to offer. He seems to forget that our situations are so discrepant (he did help me with a bill once, but I paid him back right away).

We generally split the cost of dinner, movies, and other things we do together. It's hard on my wallet, honestly, even to go out a couple times a week.  However, I would not feel comfortable saying something like, "I can't have dinner with you because I can barely afford boxed macaroni." Awkward. It hasn't gotten that bad yet, but I fear it. I also never want to take advantage of him or make him change his lifestyle.

I plan to be with him for a long time. What do people in this kind of situation, and at what point do you bring it up?
<bot>: I'm broke as a joke; SO is loaded. How do we split costs while being fair and at what point do I bring it up?
