My boyfriend asked if he could stay with me for a couple weeks before he found a good apartment near work, and of course I said yes. I still go to school and live with my parents. They didn’t mind him staying at our house, and my mother even told him that he could stay with us as long as he wanted to since he just started making money—therefore he started living in my parents’ house!
He is sweet and polite with my parents, and he loves cooking. HOWEVER, he only paid for a 30 dollar grocery bill once during the past month. Every time we go grocery shopping, he liked to get a lot of snacks and things he liked, but I was always the one paying for them, except that one time he paid 30 dollars and said “it doesn’t feel right to let my girlfriend pay for everything”… 30 out of at least 300 that we spent together though?? P.S. he has his own room in my house and eats with us…
Also, the only time that he asked me if I’d like to meet with his friends and have dinner with them, he wanted me to split the cost….. I was shocked when he asked me to pay for myself after dinner, and I just paid for both of us because I wanted him to feel embarrassed that a girl was more generous than him... Did it work? I don’t know… He paid for a couple meals below 20 dollars, but when I offered to treat him for dinner, He picked a restaurant where I easily spent about 80 dollars. He also tries to drive my car when we go out…
He got me a white gold bracelet for my birthday though… Maybe he thinks that the bracelet covers the utilities of living and eating at my parents’ house for free? His family is wealthier than mine, and he has a well-paid job. He gives his mother 1000 dollars every month, and he just bought himself a luxury watch... My mom thinks that I should talk to him and ask him to chip in or to move out, but I’m afraid to hurt our relationship since we have only been together for several months…. He told me that he loves me, and he wants to pay me back by treating me like a princess... I don't feel it though... What should I do? Should I talk to him?
