“I love that you take care of me, I do, but we can’t go on like this.”

Shit.Right as Tristan had managed to convince himself Aiden’s behaviour was from the pain and didn’t have anything to do with their relationship, he’d drop the bomb. His stomach knotted. He had been right all along. He couldn’t make Aiden happy.
Aiden sighed again. “I want you to take me seriously—2rdquo;
“I do.” What the hell was he talking about? Tristan always took him seriously.
“Yes, I know, babe, but I want us to be equal.”
“We are.” Cold washed over him. Had he done anything to make Aiden think he didn’t see him as an equal?
“I mean financially. I can’t have you paying for me. You pay for almost everything, and I don’t want to be…that guy. So, I need to work more. I need more customers, and I can’t run off to the city to have my back fixed all the time.”
