I Spend Way More than my Boyfriend?

So here is the thing...I have been dating my boyfriend for more than two months and he is not bought ONE thing for me! Forget anniversary gifts and whatnot, he has never bought me flowers! I mean I just graduated with my MASTER%26#039;S a few weeks ago and he met my parents for the first time. He didn%26#039;t even give me a graduation gift, I would have been happy with just a card! Generally, when we go out to eat or anything I end up paying or we end up splitting. I really want this relationship to last because I care a lot about him. I know he cares a lot about me too and trust me I am not high maintenance at all. Its just nice to be appreciated. But I am seriously afraid that my wallet is going to go bare! I understand that he does not make that much money, but he is able to afford gifts for his family members ALL the time, so how can he not afford to buy me a $15 flower bouquet? I am not anywhere close to being a gold digger. I just don%26#039;t get it! Any advice will help me. Thanks.

Have you told him how you feel? If you don%26#039;t talk about it with him it%26#039;s just going to bug you. If your afraid to flat out put him on the spot then why don%26#039;t you play it like this tell him your broke and you can%26#039;t afford to go out any more that you%26#039;ll have to just eat at home. If you make a disaster out of the meal if he%26#039;s hungry then he%26#039;ll take you out to dinner.
Reply:gift giving is always a sensitive issue, but paying for a meal is simple couriessness. talk to him. if you care about him as much as you say, then you should be able to have a serious conversation with him about it. tell him he needs to get in line. Tell him to watch a few lifetime movies and see how many times a guy pays for his date.
Reply:Good thing you just got a masters degree, that way you%26#039;ll be able to support him! Money isn%26#039;t everything, and if you two stick together then it will all be both of yours anyway. If you%26#039;re that serious about this relationship, be direct and ask him. You never know, he just might have good reason.
Reply:It has only been 2 months. Relax a little. Do you need gifts to validate his feelings for you? Think about what he%26#039;d do if he saw this question. He%26#039;d probably be mortified and SPLIT. Sorry to say. If you care about him, wait it out. If it is that important to you... move on. Congratulations on your masters by the way. It is a great accomplishment.
Reply:Oh Honey NO! Let him go he didn%26#039;t even get you a graduation present your masters at that! Lose him this whole paying for dinner everytime....no doesn%26#039;t work for me and shouldn%26#039;t work for you. I think he is using you what happens when you get that GREAT JOB with your new master degree (CONGRAT by the way) and start rolling in all that money..think about it! Lose him ASAP you can find someone else
Reply:I assume he knows you wanted flowers and a card? Because men can%26#039;t read minds.





If you keep paying for dinner, he will accept that. If you want him to pay, then you have to wait until he invites you, and then make sure he understands that %26quot;person who invites does the paying.%26quot; It%26#039;s a rule of etiquette.
Reply:lol me and my gf have kinda the opposite problem..we argue about who%26#039;s paying lol..buy err... budget problem? even though that doesn%26#039;t really solve the what...7 dollar card? hrm..thats a hard one...but good luck with that..sorry i can%26#039;t really give u an answer
Reply:am not materialistic either...but i know how you feel...its just you wanna feel loved and appreciated...!


maybe he%26#039;s too stingy i don%26#039;t know...sry about that!
Reply:YEA, SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT MATERIALISTICE LIKE ME.





THEYRE ARE MORE THINGS TO LIFE THAN THINGS ON OCCASIONS,,,FLOWERS DIE, CARDS ARE THROWN AWAY...WHOA I THIHNK I HAVE ISSUES TO HELP ME TOO LET ME KNOW WHAT HAPPENS
Reply:wat they said
Reply:Well ya%26#039;ll she%26#039;s smart enough to get a Master%26#039;s Degree but not smart enough to dump a loser.





Girl if you were mine, I would be showering you with Gold Diamonds, Flowers, Lingerie and Champangue.





But if I did that I would expect you to dump me for some broke @$$ loser with no job who lives with his mom who can give you EXCITEMENT while I am busting my balls at work to be a Good Provider.





Find someone with the same ambitions as you or suffer the consequences
Reply:Glad your only two months in because I think the guy your with is going to expect you to buy everything. If thats the relationship you want to be in then i hope your going to be making a lot of dough with that master you just recieved. If you want to be in a good relationship then watch out for the loser sign%26#039;s at the start to boot his but. You know what this means and how you feel about it or why else would you be on here asking?! good luck with that....
