I'm going to assune good faith here, maybe it's a cultural thing, who knows?

Regardless, here in the US it is typical for couples to form a partnership in which both income and expenses are shared. Possibly the reason for the recent emergence of the term 'Partner' to describe one's Significant Other.

I'm from Europe and it struck me as odd that the subject of the sentence switched from singular to plural for no good reason.

>My girlfriend worked at Macys

>She was paid

>(She) was in a "union"

>Each month we would walk

>we paid "dues"

>we couldn't pay online

>we handed our check

>throw her check

I was just wondering if there was some hidden twist behind the change of subject, so I asked bluntly.
