To make a long story short my boyfriend and I are in a very serious and loving long distance relationship of almost two years now. He is very sweet and giving and surprises me a lot with gifts or new games that he buys online for me because we play video games together. But I've recently ran into a rut, I am extremely low on money and I could totally use his help. I mean it's really rough for me right now but I feel so ashamed in asking him because quite frankly I just never have and our relationship has never been about that. I have this other friend who has openly said he's more than willing to help me out but I don't know why that just feels so wrong. I feel like my man should be helping me, not any other man. But at the same time I feel so ashamed to ask my boyfriend, I don't even know how that would work, he would have to wire it to me? I don't know, what should I do?

Overall I would love to see him help me, but I think it's a different ball park when I start asking for money. Please help!

How much time you two have spent together, in person?
Does he know about your financial problems?
