My boyfriend gets mad when I refuse to let him pay for things. He recently quit from his previous job, but right now he's looking for a job. He gets upset when I tell him it's okay if he doesn't pay for me. And to be honest, I don't mind at all.
See, I know that he is tight on money right now. So I don't want his money to go down the drain for me, especially when I know that he's trying to save up to buy a car. (We also have trouble seeing each other cause we have no means of transportation to see each other unless a friend is willing to drive. But that's a different story.)
Tonight, he got upset with me because I paid for my meal at a fast food restaurant. I asked him why he gets so upset and he says it's because of his pride and he feels like I'm taking it away or something. But really, I'm just taking away his money...
I wish I could reason with him but I don't know what to say or do. I especially don't want him to waste his money on a measley old meal for me when he could be that much closer to buying his car.
What should I do?
