Argument between me and my man!

Hey ladies I need to vent about an something that turned into an argument between my bf a and I. I'm currently unemployed so I'm not financially stable at the moment. However whatever money I have, I always try to save it for things I need and may have to do. Earlier on in my relationship of 3+ years my boyfriend told me he doesnt believe in giving a woman money unless she is his wife. Now he is an amazing bf. We have a great relationship and like all relationships there are ups and downs but we always get through it. Honestly it bothered me that he said he dont believe in giving a woman money unless she is his wife but I didnt say so because I am and have always been independent so him giving me now or not wasnt a major issue. Recently I hit a rough patch and he gave me some money. I honestly appreciated it because I was down and out and he came to me genuinely and took money out his wallet and handed it to me. He told me when he gets paid he has all intention of giving me more money because he knows things are hard right now. I was grateful but knowing he is only giving me because things are hard makes me feel like a charity case and I expressed that to him. He said he doesnt want to make me feel bad and he is only giving me because it bothers him that I can't do certain things or get stuff I may need. Now I'm on my period and I'm hella emotional so I may have acted out irrationally. After telling him that I appreciate what he's doing for me but it's the way he's doing it and how he's saying he helping me, makes me feel like I'm a charity case. He then asked me twice (1st time I didnt respond) if it makes me uncomfortable, tell him if I want him to stop. My thing is I told him that how he's doing it made me uncomfortable not the fact he is actually giving me. So why ask me that. I got very frustrated and offended and told him just stop giving me because I am not his wife. I dont want anything from him or need any help. He still went on to say "okay, still tell me if you need anything" and I said No. It hurts that he is only giving me because I'm struggling. I'm not ungrateful but as my man, knowing I'm not working why not just hand me some cash and a kiss on the head and keep it pushing. Why he gotta say he's helping me because things hard. It makes me feel pathetic. Did I over react? Is he wrong? I'm just so hurt and my PMS makes it worse.
