Is my boyfriend being cheap? Or am I expecting too much from him?
All right, so I have been dating my boyfriend for about 9 months now. Things have been going good, but I have come to realise he really likes things to be 50/50. I don't mind paying for my own things, I have been doing so for quite some time now, I live on my own and go to school full time. He works as an accountant and lives with his parents.
The issue I am having with him right now is that we are going to my cousins wedding in July (im so excited, family is very important to me) he has agreed to pay his way there (50$), but refuses to pitch in on the cost of a gift and has also refused to help pay for the hotel room I booked to stay over night.
He has also refused to buy a 15$ ticket for my cousins stag party.. he says he doesn't know him so it wouldn't make sense to buy one. (Which is a HUGE no-no for people in my family... or for any french canadian family lol) I tried to explain to him the money raised from the ticket selling covers the costs of the wedding for the bride and groom and he just wasn't having any of it.
Is it me or does that seem cheap? Set aside he refuses to help pay for the hotel room or to pitch in on the gift... but now he refuses to even buy a stag ticket.
