Hate when my boyfriend spends money on me

Even before we started dating, I always paid for him (food when we had lunch, ice cream etc) and even now I pay for everything. He doesn’t have a job at the moment which is fine by me because I love buying him things, especially food.

The issue is that I’m going to university and will be working a lot less. In the beginning of our relationship I told him he could pay for dates after I start school (I took a gap year and I wanted work to jobs for fun and extra money but now I’ll have to give that all up for school)

However now I don’t even like the idea of him doing that. I don’t want him to spend money on me, at all. I love spending money on him and even have some expensive gifts in mind but the idea of him spending a cent on me just makes me uncomfortable.

I don’t even want a birthday gift from him. Whenever he buys me food, I always pay him back, even if it’s shared between us.

I don’t even feel okay with him spending too much on a ring for me if our relationship gets that far. If he bought some cheap $2 ring from the flea market I’d be happy with that.

I don’t know why I’m like this but I’ve always been this way.

Are you some kind of reverse gold digger?

I guess we could call it gold giver?

Queens always spoils the kings but you gotta give him a window to prove himself as king. Good luck
