My boyfriend called me a brat? Am I really being one?

[always_questioning]

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 6 months. I'm absolutely in love with him. But there is one thing that bothers me. Everytime we argue I'm constantly being called a brat. Today I got a little upset with him because I asked him to buy me makeup from my favorite makeup store and he said no. (Now I'm not a huge fan of being told no). I'm used to getting what I want. He said no he wouldn't buy it because he doesn't support me wearing makeup he likes me natural. I love the fact that he doesn't think I need makeup but i just don't like the fact that I buy him so many things yet the one time I ask for something he says no. (My bf doesn't have a job but he still ends up with at least $20 a week) I do have a job however I know I could buy my own makeup but I just thought it would have been sweet if he got it for me. I want him to spoil me sometimes. (I'm 16 he's 17). Do I really sound like a brat?

Yes.

No!

Sort of.

I think the once in a blue moon when you Do ask him for a favor, make sure it's Something he can afford and has No problem in spending his money on. Makeup was not one of them. You should have respected his wishes, although yes, 'Sweet' of You to buy him the world on a platter because you have a job.
No, I don't think it's right for him to call you this Name. However, it's better than being called a 'B*tch,' which many guys use when they're in a fight with their mate And-----More where That came from.
Kiss and Make up and try to compromise with no added 'Insult to injury.'
And try to be a little more understanding until he gets a job. If you want him to 'spoil' you sometimes, and I Do mean Sometimes, the best thing you can to even help yourself make that happen is-----Help him look for a job.
Good luck. xx

Yes, I think he was justified in calling you that. Of course, I can also understand why it may have hurt your feelings.

However, this whole thing about not liking to be told "no" is very unrealistic and rather "bratty." It's true. You have a job, he doesn't, so why should he spend what little money he has, on make-up for you? He shouldn't have to buy things to show you how "sweet" he is. Why do you need to be "spoiled"? You sound very demanding and needy.

Personally, I think you should take a step back, realize that sometimes you can't always have your way, and take steps to improve your behavior if you want your relationship to work.

Honestly now I feel like what you just said is making me see things more clearer. Thankyou!

Well if he calls you a 'brat' Everytime you argue he most likely doesn't mean it.. It's just a word he likes to chuck at you to insult you when you're both angry. I wouldn't consider you a brat for asking him to buy you something as long as it's not a 'daily' thing.. But if he says no you should respect his response and drop it, don't get all worked up over it after all he did say he prefers you 'without makeup' anyway and you do have a job at the end of the day so if you really do want the makeup you could buy it yourself? :)

Guys like to spoil girls whenever they are not expecting it, be patient..

Your boyfriend is correct. You can't demand gifts from people, and not be a spoiled brat.

If you can't hear the word no, and are used to getting your way. Then Yes I Would Say Your A brat.

Yes, you got mad because he didn’t wanna buy it. one, he has barely any money and you do. two, he said he likes you natural… it’s really no need to trip.
