My GF (who is wonderful despite the following) really has a habit of wanting to "grab a drink" after work. After doing some calculations I've come to a point were this must change.
Basically she has (1) a strong need to "not just go home" right after work and (2) being somewhere that is fun, which usually involves a place that serves alcohol. Even if we do stay at home, make a nice meal or something like that, the implication seems to be that we'll go out the next day which means we'll still be spending ~$60 every other day on drinks (alcohol isn't cheap were we live and she doesn't want to go to ordinary bars).
It's not so much an inability for me to come up with ideas for other things to do, its more that she has a difficulty enjoying these things more than hanging out in a cool bar. It has become repetitive to me and the cost pains me. We could be spending this money on travels, savings and other things.
I need some input, a new perspective, on how to go about this.
Thanks!
