GF salary Vs. My salary

Me and my gf have been dating for 5 years. Back in 2020, I started my career with a package of ₹5 LPA. Over the years, I’ve reached ₹22 LPA in 2025. She started her journey with ₹3 LPA(2020) and is now earning ₹8 LPA(2025). We’ve been in a live-in relationship for around 2 years, and the idea was to share expenses equally. But, equal sharing never really happened. If we go to a café she likes, especially with friends, I will pay the entire bill. We only split the house rent and grocery bills. I told her lots of time to cut down these costly cafe expenses or earn more money, increase your package, study and work hard, but.....she is now in her comfort zone. Being from a tech background, I have seen people upgrade their skills and package for a good life in metro cities. I am ready to support her in her studies, but she is like I am earning enough for myself.... No, you are not. I love her, but I don't know how to overcome this issue between us. Please suggest!

Dislikes

Toxic hierarchical culture at least in the Networking Business Unit (NBU). Little to no trust in employees and a lot of micromanagement at all levels in the chain. Incompetent managers who are constantly distracted and don't have clear action plans for meeting their goals. They pass this on to their direct reports and don't know what it means to stand for their team. Often feels like a school setup where the VP chides you for being a minute late to a meeting and schools you on every little thing. Overall this group has no intentions of understanding f what it takes to keep employee morale up.
