A miser? Or just selfish?
| Wed, 09-03-2008 - 11:46am |
Hello,
I have an embarassing problem I can't turn anywhere else for help.
My boyfriend of almost four years appears to have extreme problems with spending any money at all on me.

Yeah he's a miser. Selfish, rude, clueless, inconsiderate. He doesn't make you pay for HIS dinner every time, does he?!
You probably won't be able to make him change if this is the way he treats his own life. It might help however to ask him to read Five Love Languages with you, by Gary Chapman, so he can understand how important generosity is to you.
You're not being unreasonable to want a partner who is more generous, but you're being unreasonable if you think THIS guy is going to change.
Welcome to the board differentbutsame,
Sorry I don't think it's a shallow reason to break off the relationship.
All,
Thank you for such prompt and wise responses!
Carrie,
Those are excellent suggestions, and I'm sure they would work - at least in terms of getting the check paid.
But, I guess what really bothers me is that he just doesn't WANT to pay for anything.
LOL.
