I don’t want to pay for my boyfriend anymore.

Ashley

Okay girls I need some help. I’m too nice to my boyfriend. I’ve offered to pay for our food a few times at the beginning of our relationship and now after a few months, I pay for everything. I hate it. I’m going broke. He loves sushi and so he’ll order his $45 worth of fancy sushi and I get a $5 sweet potato roll and pay for all of it! Every. Time. I can see that I’ve really dug myself into a deep hole that I don’t know how to get out of. I HATE that it’s now expected of me. It really hit me today because I was over at his moms house because she’s sick and he’s like wanna go out with me to get coffee for her? So I drove us to Starbucks asked him what to order and he tells me both of their drinks, then says “and whatever you’d like.” So from this, it sounds like he’s paying, right? Wrong. We get up to the window and I look to him to hand me his card and he’s just staring down at his phone completely ignoring the situation. So I paid for myself, my boyfriend, and his mother. This is the straw that broke my back lol. Do not expect me to pay for everything. I’m not your sugar mama. I’m your girlfriend and I’d like to be treated like one. So please help me get out of this situation. Other than this issue he’s a great guy but I feel like I did this to myself and my fear of confrontation is causing this to go on longer than it should. Thank youuuuuu!
