    Just as the title. I (24f) been together with my bf (27m) for one year now and he never pays everytime we go out. I feel unloved and unappreciated.

    The only time he pays is coffee on our first date and i ordered a small coffee. Based on his action. He hesitated to even pay cus i was late and made him wait .

    I cried in front of him and told him . I just want something cheap like mcdonald’s burger to show that he at least care about me. He did not have a job. I am paying for the groceries every month. We don’t live in but i go to his place most of the time and sleep over.

    Should i break up with him? Please help .

    Sounds like there’s two problems going on.

    One is that you have different love languages. Gifts make you feel appreciated. He has a different one. People often use the love language they appreciate most themselves to show affection, rather than the one the partner receives most as love. You can look this up online and try to discuss with him from there.

    The other problem is bigger. Are you supporting him by paying for everything? Is this a one-sided relationship where you’re pulling the weight and keeping it going while he enjoys the benefits with little effort? Has he been unemployed the entire time, and is it because he has no ambition? Have you lost respect for him because he’s not showing up as an equal partner? Does he always prioritize himself over you or put you down? Do you feel unappreciated because he’s not valuing you properly aside from money? It’s one thing if he’s not buying you things but he’s still making up for it in other ways, but it didn’t sound like it from your post. If the answers to any of those questions are yes, you should strongly consider breaking up.

    Some people can also be very stingy in life, and you may both be incompatible based on how you view money and frugality. But he may also just be selfish.

    some good points raised by the above posters. did he have a job when you first started dating? that’s imp. due to pandemic many people have lost jobs or finding it diff to stay afloat. so u need to factor that in. but generally i wouldn’t date a man who expects me to always pick up tabs. if you have to cry for a man to pay for a burger than should you even be in such a relationship? ur asking for reassurance of his love by begging for a burger?? seriously? just goes to show that he is unable to convince you that he loves you despite you paying all the bills. walk away lady.
