Ive had some financial problems in my family (just my mom and i) after my moms divorce and the courts ruled that my beautiful mom would get nothing ... (the courts where i live are known to be like this). My boyfriend and his family are more wealthy than i am and when we met my life kinda flipped from having everything to kinda of having to save (and im not saying i have it so badly but you know it was hard to switch) however my boyfriend has a tendency of letting me know what he has/ or what he has recieved ?

He is 20 btw and we were on the phone yesterday and he asked me sooo what did you get for christmas and well i obviously did not get a lot from my mom because well.. we dont have much money and i honestly didnt ask for anything. So i told him i got a few things and then well.. i asked him what about you? And he just went off about how his dad gave him 1k and then he got this and that and this and that. Im happy for him but he has a tendency to share about all the things he buys for himself and what not.

Also, when i was on the phone with him, he told me his dad got him this backgammon board set and i was actually planning on buying him one too and i said yoh well im glad i didnt get you one cause i was planning on it! And his next comment was like oh well this is like a 250$ one.

It upset me. I feel like these small comments are kind of tone deaf and quite possibly just rude sometimes. However i can never be truly upset cause he has helped my mom and i financially (so has his family). Is it normal for me to be kinda of annoyed that these comments were made? It just seems immature to me but once again, i want him to be happy and maybe these comments are just harmless. I just always am afraid that he thinks of me differently because of my financial situation, however i have experienced so much more than him before i had met him because i had grown up overseas and i have a different approach to the concept of “wealth” or “money” tbh.

Let me know what you think!
