My boyfriend loves to buy me things, but he can't always afford to buy them. More than a couple times, he has spent his entire paycheck (minus his bills, of course) on me. I don't ask for anything and, though I'm incredibly grateful to have such a giving boyfriend, I wish he'd save some of his money.
How do I tell him this without sounding ungrateful or insulting?
He's under the mistaken assumption that he can buy your affection and attention. It's understandable that you aren't for sale, but guys have always believe if they give a woman gifts, especially expensive one, they can hold onto the girl.
Tell him you would still feel the same for him even if he didn't buy you anything. Tell him your affection isn't for sale and neither are you. He's probably never thought of it like that before.
