My boyfriend tries too hard too prove that he's the man in the relationship..

boys will be boys anna. tell your bf that things ave changed now and women go hand i hand wiith men. tell him you would be very upset if he didn't acceppt you paying , he may agree. or else sit and discuss the matter, maybe each of yo ucould pay alternately.

men have egos. they have a very high level of pride in them. try to talk to your boyfriend. make sure that you will still love him with or without his money. tell him that it's okey if sometimes you get to pay the bills. make him feel secured that you love him because of who he is and not because of his money. you'll talk things through together. i know. just be there for him.

I think your boyfriend is trying too hard to impress you. Maybe he doesn't feel secure in the relationship as he spend a lot of money on you without caring for his financial health. I think you need to talk to him that he should stop trying too hard to impress as you are eight months in relationship and you will not give up on him. i think frank heart to heart talk is important to get through him that women are equal in a relationship and can take care of themselves and that he should focus to build love and trust into the relationship that will needed to sustain relationship in long run, money can't happiness and surely not your partner. tell him little things like holding hands, having fun, chatting, watching movie at home together can be as much fun. And that he needs to get priorities in life right. And that he needs to lead balanced mentally, financially life for better future. besides i feel you should find out if he has low esteem, low self confidence issues and try talking to counsellor to get it sorted out.

People have diverse characters. Anyway your boyfriend is definitely the man in the relationship. It cannot be you. Some people have an ego which is harmful. But you have to understand. Don't let him trail behind you. If you slow down he can't trail behind.

heya, thats sad to hear that he is behaving this way after so long. I suppose he got so used to the role he was in of the provider that he is having trouble adjusting. Maybe try to explain that you want your life together to be mutual, and that even though you enjoy the fact that he likes to provide for you that there is also no shame in doing it in moderation.

men are orgolious. But a realman must know when he renounce to his ego, for women he love. It may be such romantic to stay home and watching a movie, eating popcorn, kissing each other, but some men would not understand

Yes that's the wya to show love

I think your boyfriend's lifestyle need to be changed. he's sooo embarassed that he can't buy you dinner, and it's normal for men to be like that. but his next attitudes are unacceptable, I think it's because he's afraid you'll become more dominant in your relationship because he's broke and you have money..

Give your boyfriend a big smile and put your arms around his neck and tell him you want to tell him something really important to you. Then pretty much tell him what you just told us. My wife does this and it works with me. I'm grown up and happily married. If this fella is grown up enough for a serious relationship, it'll work with him, too.

its good that your boy friend is really loving you but eight month is now much to see all thing of life because you have to live and spend you r entire life after the mariage with him so first see and then decide all this things

He needs to relax. May he's a bit old school. On the other hand you are blessed to have someone willing to take you out and do nice things for you. At the same time when he's broke he needs to appreciate what you can do for him.

its okay in going around ,,watching movie .........talk to him n get a solution to it.....

You did not do anything wrong, sometimes in trying to impress we just cross limits without realising the reality. I think you give him some time and when he calms down, than you tell him that you are perfectly ok with what he is and he need not to spend so much on you.

he is trying to buy you! he does not want to be bought by you! he is too interested in money so he cannot be interested in anything else leave him for someone that cares more about you than money

your man has some serious issues.broke and not able to pay for dinner, i guess he has a reason for being guilty but that doesnt mean he has to ignore you.you have done nothing wrong, all you have to do is talk to this and resolve this issue by taking him into confidence. i guess he feels if he doesnt spends money on you then he doesnt deserve you or something like that.

That according to me is pretty normal for a guy. I mean I myself would have felt bad at letting my girlfriend pay for the dinner. But still he shouldn't be behaving in that manner with you. What you should do is talk to him and find out what actually the matter is ? maybe he might be facing some problem!! Talk to him and god will settle everything.

sit and discuss with him in a good mood...this could be easily solved.

Have you tried sitting down with him and talking to him about the way he acted? Also you should find out why he is this way and if he always has been. If you love him and he loves you then this is something that should be resolved before you go any further into your relationship with him.

Its tough to understand a Man's mind.Women sometimes misunderstand the extreme care that men show towards them.I treat my girlfriend like a fairy...because thats what i look for in a Woman.If she is like me then she would lose those qualities in her which i expect from her.Man like to live with an angel and not a super hero.Sometimes women get bored by the pamparing men do....Just let your man do what he thinks is the best.In one word...trust him blindly.

ya wat u say is true..even i being in relationship...and when i m broke..my girlfriend pays for me and thats normal..
