New boyfriend earns substantially more than me and I can't keep up with him

He is very much a split everything down the middle person, and I am too, except I earn 25k a year, and he's on more than double what I earn. Im also very aware how women can look like scroungers to men when they dont pay half, I always pay my share and if we go on a night out and he's bought me more drinks than ive bought…

I’ve had married friends who do this, pay into a joint account and agreed amount to cover bills, kids costs etc and then keep what’s left to themselves. Generally it means one has a great life on the golf course and driving anAudi, while the other rarely goes out and drives a Fiat.
I said had, because all three couples are divorced and money was one of the main factors.
Get out now OP, life is too short.
