OP wants that option. i don't even feel like she cares about the money that much. she just feels like she lost that power. like she put herself in a position to where if she doesn't pay, it will be awkward. she would be just fine paying as much as she does now if dude wasn't so sure she would pay. she lost that control and is frustrated about that. i honestly have no advice. i just think we (meaning people) are funny as fukk :pachaha:

That all makes sense... But our relationship is great aside for this issue we just started having. I will just talk to him about it.

The next guy I date I will make pay for everything and never contribute. I don't ever want to be too nice or generous, because I have to worry about a man not valuing me if I do.

Thanks for the help.

Love.
:mjlol:your boyfriend is carrying a L...

But That's the thing...

I DON'T WANT TO BE PROVIDED FOR.

I know it sounds like I am talking in circles, but let me try to explain...

I want it how it was in the beginning.

At first... When I contributed, it was a surprise and a nice gesture. (I did it sorta often, but not always)

Now BAE is spoiled, and it is EXPECTED as opposed to appreciated. Get it?

He really is a great boyfriend, but how do I say this without seeming like I am downing him? (he is a great boyfriend)

Forgive me, but why wouldn't he expect it if you've established a pattern of behavior?
That is... if he plays basketball with a crew on Wednesdays and has done so for the last year, wouldn't you expect him to continue to play basketball on Wednesdays?
Of course he's gotten comfortable, that's what happens in relationships.
It sounds like you want him to still make that surprised face when you chip in, but that ship has sailed. You've established that you're able and willing to pull some weight. Don't take his lack of :ohmy: as taking you for granted, rather it's a more quiet appreciation and muted sense of respect, I'm sure.
And seriously, if this is the biggest issue in your relationship, consider yourself lucky.

NO! It is not about extorting "more money" from a man.

It's about him appreciating my contributing and simply treating me better. financially, because he is GREAT to me other ways.

Just cheap.

You need to communicate this to him brehette. It looks like he is taking advantage of you.

I don't mind contributing. I have shown him that. However, I don't want to always have to.

Am I wrong for that?

nikka...what?

This fairy tale land yall females enjoy living in hilarious to me. "I don't want to always have to"...so he should be paying for the majority of the time yall go out.....WHY? Are yall not in a relationship, aren't yall partners? so why should you be exempt from doing your part? You contributing shouldn't be a "gesture" or a "suprise" to him, you;re both adults in a relationship....where you both have to do your part to make it work...get this "the men should provide, wine and dine me" bullshyt mentality out ya head....do your part.

I can understand if dude is becoming stingy with his bread and it worries you, but if he has been going half on dates and fell off that wagon..cool you have a point, but to say that you don't want to always have to do your part in the relationship is pure fukkery. You don't always have to put up money, there will be times where one of you will want to treat the other to a dinner or something, but if it ain't like that you should have no problem on splitting the check with him...that is your boyfriend, correct?

Now for the other issue...him starting to settle for you taking care of the check....just talk to him, its that simple, find out what is going on with him. It may not mean he is being cheap, maybe he is saving money or is having money issues, you don't need to run to the coli and belittle him by calling dude "cheap" if you don't understand the circumstance for him not spending money, that's corny. Also, you claim to not want someone to provide for you, but then you contradict that by saying he is not spending enough money on you...make up your mind.

stop slandering ya man to a bunch of anonymous people, log off and go talk to him...this shyt ain't rocket science
