We all know that relationships are an investment, but one guy took this more literally than most by making a spreadsheet to track how much he was spending on his girlfriend.
He decided to use a spreadsheet to keep track of everything he spent on his girlfriend. Up to the very last penny.
Maddy, the guy’s ex-girlfriend, then went on TikTok to talk about how sad he was or how well he could organize things (depending on your opinion).
She wrote the caption over the video:
When my ex-bf charged me $3 for a banana and a piece of toast and sent me monthly excel spreadsheets of the money I owed him and I had no idea that’s not how normal relationships worked.
The song lyrics went along with this:
I remember when I lost my mind.
It shows a sad-looking Natalie, and a little digging revealed that this viral video was a follow-up to an earlier one where she talked about the spreadsheet itself (and provided evidence of one).
Maddy said that she got the spreadsheets once a month and that they were color-coded so she could easily see what she owed her ex.
He would send me about one of these a month and as you can see he was nice enough to colour code it,
she revealed.
That was great and then at the bottom of this – I think it got cut out – would be the total.
At the beginning of the video, she made it clear that a romantic interest would never treat her like this.
As you might expect, neither of these videos went unnoticed on the social media website. Both were seen at least 2.4 million times by shocked viewers.

For anyone who does not know, this is all a huge red flag.
Splitting major (bills, groceries, vacations, etc) expenses while living together is completely reasonable for two working adults,” remarked a second. “But asking you to pay for a banana & a toast is super weird.
A third joked:
It’s like you’re living in a hotel and these are your mini bar charges.
Prayers and condolences to all impacted,
said a fourth person while a fifth added:
The biggest ick of all time.
So, if you were thinking about making a spreadsheet for your relationships, this is probably a sign that you shouldn’t.
