My boyfriend and I broke up after living together for 15 months. I have not called him since we broke. A lot of it was because of financial problems. I helped him get on his feet. Now that he is making a lot more money he is being greedy with it. So I broke up with him. But now he is texting me telling me how much he misses me. What do I do? I still love him. I just feel so hurt by him cause he had nothing when I got with him. Now he is making more money then he has ever had. He doesn't want to share it. I have alway shared everything with him.

There is a point when you start to get on your feet that it is important to save almost everything and put it toward the career goal. But if that was the case, he should have been able to say that he knows how much you helped and when he gets through that startup phase, things will be different. Having said that, some guys are terrible at expressing themselves or they don't realize how good they had it until it's too late. If he's at that realization point and is sincere about it, then great (unless you're worried about being hurt twice). But you won't know unless you hear him out.

Tell him nearly these exact words:

If you wanna date him: I will get back together with you but you need to share some more and not be a hog.

If you don't wanna date him: I'm sorry, but I don't wanna go back to you being all greedy and stuff. Sorry.

Wow, that is a tough one. First of all I don't think you should take it personally that he is being tight with his money. Generally someone that is tight with their money has developed that attitude through their lifetime and its hard to break.

Secondly, you should think about what it is exactly you need from him. Do you need money to live/eat/survive, or are you just wanting him to buy you things. If you have the attitude that he should just by you material things as some sort of payback...then the issue might be with you. A strong and meaningful relationship should be based on love, never on money.

The only situation in which you should expect to share his money would be in the case that you are married, as this changes the situation greatly. If it ever gets to that point, you should feel comfortable asking him how you both plan to share the income you both bring in.

Question Asker Thank you for your input. What you have said helps me focus more on what I need to do at this time. I am going to stay away. As much as I love him, I feel like I would be better off without him. All I wanted was for him to appreciate me. - 9 months ago

Does it ever annoy you that you're single?
random-ren asked 3 days ago

Yes, most of the time! I really wish I had a boyfriend/girlfriend!

A little, because I feel left out.

Not really...

Nope! I have too much fun being single!

What's there to be annoyed about?

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
I would probably go to the movies on a first date and if I really like the guy and things go good it would end with a good night kiss probably just a tap though.

Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
Everything they need to know .

Would you date me?
