Am I wrong?

My boyfriend thinks that because I wont accept $5k from him, I’m not accepting his love or help. I told him I want his love in other ways. He wants me to take this so that I don’t have to work for the next few months. He doesn’t seem to understand how much money that is (he doesn’t earn much so I’m not sure how), or how it’ll make me feel like I owe him. I told him it’s like he’s buying me. Please help, how can I make him understand that I’d rather be working and he show me his love in other ways?
