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!

Don’t join this company for salary and perks. The percentage hike and appraisal hike you get here is equal to the percentage of physical and mental health loss here. If you have no issues with health and work life balance then definitely join here but beware you will tested to your limits and one day definitely you will break. They fired QA but the QA managers are reframed as engineer manager and they are managing the development teams. You can think of how much they will help you if they can’t understand the work and technology. No learning opportunity you can’t even learn by your own as you will have no time even for sleep. Even if you will give 16 hours daily to this company you will be listen the words like your productivity is just 5 hours. Every team is being pushed to create AI agents without knowing the actual benefit and the area where it should be implemented. If you take leaves that are pre planned and communicated months ago, still those will not counted in sprint planning. I can go on talking about the cons.
