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!

IBM Brand name attached now. Work Culture is good. People usually don't indulge in politics. Job security is excellent. No layoffs during the pandemic. Learning opportunities are there but you need to spend time in the organization to get that. Lots of emphasis on one's tenure in the organization. More the number of years spent, more respect the person gets. Management is good and pretty cool about things. No micro management.

Skill development - Good

Dislikes

Salary is on the lower side than the market. Also the appraisals are not consistent. Career growth will become stagnant is there is not much job role change when one gets promoted. There are less opportunities for IJP's Yet to get the benefit of being an IBM company. This should reflect in people getting more job opportunities to go to internally.

No appraisal cycle. Entirely up to manager whether to give appraisal and if the current manager leaves, then back to square one where need to prove yourself again. One needs to be extremely good at show-off. Do less and talk more as if the reverse is done thinking let the work speak then you are no way moving ahead.
