I have been dating my Chris for 1.5 years now and i love the man like nobody's business. He is the most caring man in the world, and always goes the extra mile to ensure that my life is easy in every way he can.
Nonetheless, he is poor and from a poor family, he was raised by a single mother in a tough country. I on the other hand am successful and was raised in a middle class family. By successful I am a 6 figure earner and he is in the creative industry and struggling. I knew this before we started dating but i chose to fall inlove, and fall inlove we did.
In this time, I have supported his career, sheltered him and got him jobs and improved his career by milestones. I have used my intellectual property and financial resources to help this man but he seems to not understand my boundaries.
For instance, I do not allow anyone to drive my car, not even my mother, why- because they are both not in a financial position to fix it and atm I do not want to spend on fixing or replacing a car if something goes wrong. I have told him several times, yet he uses my car when im not there.
Recently, he used my car without my consent, this is after i had told him in the past not to use it and in some cases asked him to go and park it. This time around i got really pissed of and i told him never to use my car again because. he is not in a financial position to fix it or replace it if something happens. Bear in mind that he is a new driver with less than a year experience. He has now taken offence to this and shared that I am materialistic and he would never do the same to me if the roles were reversed. My issue here is
We dont know if he would share everything with me because he has nothing of the same value.
I share everything with him except for this item (I even gave him my old car, although its been in repairs) why cant he just align to this boundary?
AITA for sending him that text?
