Very Cheap Boyfriend?
Filed Under Singles & Dating
SparklingH2O asked:
I’ve been with my bf for about a year (its a long distance relationship, he lives in Alaska, I live in Illinois). Airline tickets are very expensive for him to visit me…I get that. But he makes lots of promises which he rarely keeps (he’s gonna take me on a trip to Mexico, trip to Las Vegas, trip to Germany etc, which never manifested). He never takes me out unless someone else is paying for it (friends of his sister have connections and often gets free tickets…free concerts…free coupons for food etc…). He has yet to buy me dinner during this entire year. He took me to the movies twice but didn’t buy food, offered to take me to Subway for lunch once (I suggested a better place), once took me to a sushi place but only spent about $10 as he didn’t eat himself and bought me takeout chinese food once. Most recently, in the past 5 months, he’s been claiming he’s working on a multi-million dollar deal. Each month it’s, “the deal is gonna come through this week or the next”. I’m not a materialistic person at all, but I do like to be treated some time, you know? What girl doesn’t? Well, he’s in town this entire summer (I insisted so I could see what he’s really made of — if not crap, lol). Well what really pissed me off is my car is really old, so I just drive in the neighborhood and my job which is very close to home. But my bf has been asking me to drive him all over town so he can look at houses because he says once he gets his “big money” he’s gonna move here (I insisted he pay for gas) and anyway, my car broke down, and I had to have it towed ($100 out of my pocket). The engine is ruined because of dirty oil. My bf is an engineer (supposedly)…shouldn’t he have checked the oil for me right? The last straw was the next day was my birthday. He said, “I guess when it rains it pours. The bank froze my account so I can’t take you out on your brithday”. So I we went out so as not to be depressed on my birthday, but I paid for it. I also paid for all the food for a 4th of July barbeque we hosted at my house the day before. So I’m feeling really used. The *** is off the chain but that’s pretty much it. Is this guy using me? Am I’m being unreasonable to expect to be taken out during these rough ecomonic times?
