How do I handle this situation without getting into a fight and breaking up?
Unfortunately, finding a girl where you don't pay for most stuff and don't feel like you're being taken for granted is considered an outlier. This is because the social norm is for the guy to provide, made even more pronounced when you're working and she isn't.

If you're feeling this now, just weigh if she's worth feeling like this for a long period. If not, try sounding it out, maybe it's not her intention. Otherwise, maybe find someone you're more comfortable with. But I'll tell u, it's a culture that guy's spending will always get taken for granted, just maybe it's to a lesser degree for some.
