I (24F) am so confused about him (26M)…
My (24F) bf (26M) and I have been dating for a little over 6 months. We are long distance.
He made a lot of plans together. At first I came see him because he lives in my home country and I live abroad for studies, and I did so because I had to visit my family as well.
I went and stayed for 3 months. No I’m back abroad, all nice, we talk every day, he asks to see me every day, he showers me with compliments, makes time for me, but there is an issue.
I asked him when he’d come see me, and he said it’ll take some time since he has to make some money. Now, mind you, a plane ticket is £50 and he can come stay at my place, which means he doesn’t pay for anything.
Although he did come once here when I went see him. He came back with me and stayed for 2 weeks or so then left for work.
I saw that he also asks people for money at times since he tends to run out and that it is a stressful time for him because of it.
Ok, I understand this. Everyone has issues. But 2 days ago he asked me if I wanted to contribute to buying a new car because he wanted to change his and that he’d put it under my name (there’s not much benefit for me here since I don’t drive, I don’t have a driver’s license and as of right now I don’t even live there). The sum was £3k.
I was stunned. I didn’t know what to say. I understand that he really liked the car and all and wants us to have a better car, but what about seeing me? Couldn’t he ask me for like £50 to come see me instead?
When I asked him this, he said that if he spend even 3 days abroad he loses like £200, which he cannot afford. Then, I asked him so what? You asked me for £3k… £200 is way less and even better if we can see each other. To which he responded: “yeah but asking you for money to come see you is weird.”
What???? What does that even mean??? He already told me he wants to visit but that’ll be a bit later as he wants to save up.
I was so sad about this whole situation and I said I really wanted to see him. He told me that I have to stop thinking I’m a top priority and that money is very important in his life right now since he covers a lot of stuff (our rent, his car, money for his firm, money for his grandma, etc.)…
I just… don’t understand. Am I being unreasonable? Even today he was searching for the price of his already-owned car to see for how much he can sell it, so he must be very into buying a new car instead of seeing me.
The exact same thing happened with the last guy I dated - but he was mostly scared of flying because he never did before.
Why do I attract this type of guys? What am I even doing wrong?
