My boyfriend ( 20 M) and I ( 23 F) have been together for 1 year. We don’t live together and he also doesn’t work.
Long story short. In mid 2022 my boyfriend asked me if I had a spare phone I didn’t use because his was broken. Okay I have him an iPhone 11 I had but stopped using. The following day he tells me he doesn’t want it anymore because a lot of people have it and he wants a better phone because his friends have last years and this years phone. Then he comes up with the idea that instead of me buying myself the newest phone I should buy it for him and I should keep the phone I have now. Basically he wanted a android instead of the one that he asked me for. So my clueless self said yeah to the idea, but I didn’t have the money because I spent it on things I needed like clothes and stuff. He kept getting insistent, and I told him that he was getting annoying , being pushy and all that stuff, but he got mad and started crying. Days have passed and he kept being pushy and I didn’t know what to do, so I lied to him saying yeah I will give it to you this day , blah blah blah.
So today in the morning I told him the truth, that I didn’t have the money to get him the phone he wanted. However, he got mad at me and started saying that I played with his feelings and why I didn’t tell him the truth. I literally told him how would I tell him if he gets mad and that he even did the same thing over a concert he didn’t go to because I didn’t give the money to go. Now he is mad at me and doesn’t want to talk to me because he says I played with his feelings.
Was I in the wrong lying to my boyfriend about giving him money so he can buy himself a new phone when he kept being pushy about it?
