He Contributes nothing But Expects To Be Fed
===My stingy boyfriend is giving me heachaches
I have a boyfriend I have been seeing for about two years.We both have good jobs and have houses. He just bought a new property,which I was helping to furnish and decorate with my own money.But he does not want to spend even a cent on me . I have tried to show him that l love him .If I see something nice that would suit his house ,I always buy it for him,When l ask for something ,he always keeps me waiting and never buys the stuff i want.When his daughter wants something,he will drop everything to make sure she gets it.I don't have even one thing i can say he bought for me .I don't mean that i believe in material things ,but he can afford to take me out to dinner or spend money on me .When i ask him to take me out ,he always says he does not have money or just doesn't answer me. He spends most of time at my place,meaning that I have to prepare food for him. He contributes nothing but expects a plate of food every day. One day he was asking for food ,and I got upset and told him he should buy food if he wanted it . We had an argument and he left my house that night and left my house keys behind. We are still together but now he will not ask for anyting when he is at my house .Do you hink this guy loves me or do i have a future with him? He always says i am too quick to judge.What must i do ?

----=========My love ,Momma certainly doesn't think you are too quick to judge.What you have is a boyfriend who is not only stingly but also seems to only look out for himself .Your man has some serious work to do if he intends to keep your relationship going. If you both have good jobs,what is this nonsense that you have to continuously pay for everything?yes ,we've moved on from the dark ages when men had to always foot the bill,and as independent modern women we believe in paying our share ,but your man is seriously taking advantage,A relationship is about give and take ,but now and then it would be nice if he could be a gentleman ,not to mention a romantic ,and treat you to something special like a dinner.Does Momma think you have a futurewith him? Well,honey,that's really up to you .Do you think your man is going to change ?Only you will be able to assess that.Sit him down and tell him that you would like to take some finanical responsibity because it's only fair.And being a couple means sharing.Ask him if he would expect any less if the roles were reversed. If he understands and agrees to contribute,then there is hope for him still.But if he is going to be a pig about the whole thing,then you must seriously think about whether you want to be with a man who can't begin to understand giving.
