The Last Thing I Learned

Summary

My girlfriend, Natalie Charlton, had one rule about everything. We always split the cost.

She believed nothing ruined a relationship faster than taking advantage of each other. She insisted that if we wanted to stay together, every expense had to be calculated and settled fairly.

For four years, we split every meal, bought our own movie tickets, and divided the cost of our Valentine's Day gifts. Whenever she bought me something, she asked me to transfer half of the money back to her.
