Transcript

telling my boyfriend I want to pay for own shopping today to see how he reacts (he says it's his job to treat me) Um, I was just saying to the beautiful sales assistant that I'm gonna pay for my own shopping today. No, he's not. I'll pay for it. No, I'm. I'm I'm paying for my own shopping today. Stop. Don't let him pay for it. I am paying for it today. I'm gonna pay for it today, James. He's not. Yeah. No, no. James, I'm gonna pay for it. I'm gonna pay for it. I'm gonna pay for it. I'm gonna pay for it. Can I please, please let me pay for it? You don't need to. I want to pay for it. Just to get my own independence back. And just to do. Just to. I'm only joking. Oh. I'm only joking anyway. Right? It's not funny, is he? Just wanted to see what he would say. He's so protective about always paying. Paying for my clothes, aren't you? Okay. Love you. Ok I'll go and pay for them. I wouldn't do that to you. Thank you. James, just get, um. Get the receipt as well. Just for the accounts. Thank you. He never lets me pay for anything. He's a nightmare.
