|
|
| I am not a materisitce person. However, I do think it shows a lot about a guy, when he can put his money where his emotions are. I feel like I am not appreciated, and not important to him, and not worth anything to him. For Thanksgiving, I got him a box full of snacks. For Christmas I got him a card and gifts. I got nothing. For Valentin's day I bought him six of the books he was interested in and two cards. Nothing. For my Birthday, nothing. I used to pay for every date. Before Valentine's day I got fed up and told him we were through, because I was tired of paying for every date, and because I did not feel like I was worth anything to him, because he never bought me anything. Anything that he would nearly look at, I would buy for him. Before we went out, he gave some woman fifteen bucks, just to help her out. Since we have been together, I have bought him an inexpensive laptop, and a book, just because.We had a talk back in February, and he begged me to give him another chance. I did. He failed. Now, I am not talking to him, because I am fed up with him. How can I believe he really loves me?He can be real sweet in other ways, and loving. . . but now I think he is just a B. S. ing smooth talking loser. Thoughts? Are all guys like this?I just wanted him to get me something, so that I would not feel like his money was more important to him, than I was. I am frusterated. What would you do, or thinkAnother thing, when he asked me to marry him, he never even got me an engagement ring or anything. That hurts.For clarification sake, he gave the woman fifteen bucks, because he was trying hard to get her to go out with him, not really to help her out, but to get her. |

| No, not all guys are like this. I understand it hurts when you give and give and give and get little, if nothing in return. You don't want a relationship to be based on material things, but it is good every once in a while to get a nice surprise. Did he do things for you that didn't cost money such as opening the door, asking how you were doing, taking care of you when you were sick, taking you places/running errands, etc? If not, I would think twice before going back with him. From what you have told me this guy sounds like a user who is taking advantage of you and taking you for granted. |

| you need to be very clear and very abrupt with him. tell him that you dont feel important to him because he doesnt buy you things. if things are important to a guy he will pay for it (car video games food etc). then, STOP BUYING HIM THINGS. he is taking you for granted and using you. you guys need to do dates equally, pay equal parts. and tell him that if he asks you out on a date he should pay for you. make it very clear that if he thinks your worth it then he should show you he cares through paying for things. |

| Okay. First off..Its not right that YOU pay for all the dates. But do you offer? Just because a guy doesn't buy you anything. Doesn't mean he loves his money more than you. I BEG my boyfriend not to get me anything. Because naturally I know he'd go all out. And I don't take being spoiled by anyone too well. Tell him AGAIN that your fed up with his frugality or his just plain cheapness. But heres what I think that your boyfriend is doing. He sees you've got everything you need. And probably doesn't understand why you get him all the stuff you do. But you've got everything you need and probably alot of what you want. He sees that he doesn't have to take care of you in that materialistic way. He'd rather put his money into somewhere he KNOWS it will be NEEDED for basic necessities, clothes, food, shelter etc. The $15 he gave a woman just to help her out, was because he knew she NEEDED that money to survive. He sees that as a better investment of his money. Than in someone who already has everything she wants. As far as the engagement ring. That shouldn't be a big deal. This is why. When he asked you to marry him, he was basically saying "Okay, I'm going to leave my old life behind. To start a NEW one with you. Clean slate." He asked you if you were willing to do the same. And you looked at the fact that he didn't have an engagement ring! Who knows what that money for the ring was supposed to go to. What about a lovely honeymoon, or a great cruise. Or just money to be able to keep on your own two feet as a couple! You may say your not materialistic, but you sure sound like you are..Leelah |

| Glad I read past your title question!What concerns me is not that he doesn't buy you anything but that he apparently isn't even carrying his own weight in this relationship!Any girl that EXPECTS a guy to buy her stuff SHOULD be disappointed but any guy that mooches off his girlfriend SHOULD be kicked to the curb!He brings nothing to this relationship except his looks and his charm (both of which he must possess ALOT of for you to put up with it THIS LONG!) |
