Am I expecting too much or is this unfair?
So my boyfriend (21M) earns around 30k, and I’m still in college with no stable income. The thing is… we split the bill every single time. There’s never a moment where he just offers to treat me.
Once I was short by just 300 and he still asked me to pay him back. That didn’t sit right with me at all.
He also forgot our special day, even though I got him a thoughtful gift worth around 4k. And in the 9 months we’ve been together, I’ve asked him just once for flowers — just a small gesture — and he’s never done it.
Also, it’s not like he has major responsibilities — his family is well-off, so it’s not a financial pressure thing either.
I’m not asking for expensive things, just some effort and thoughtfulness once in a while.
Am I expecting too much, or is it fair to feel hurt about this?
