She’s Been Buying Herself Expensive Things, But Her Unemployed Boyfriend Is Making Her Feel Bad About It
Your money, your choice, right? Well, one young woman is learning that her boyfriend hardly feels this way.
Her boyfriend wound up losing his job several months back, and since then, he can’t stop commenting on how she’s choosing to spend her own hard-earned money.
Although her boyfriend has had a couple of interviews for different jobs, he refuses to work less than 20 hours a week so he’s left with no options.
In the meantime, he’s been collecting unemployment, and that money does pay for his part of their rent, his part of their utility bills, his food, and his car…but that’s it.
“Now when I bring home anything he comments that I could have treated us to a nice dinner with the money instead of blowing it,” she explained.
“Specifically he comments when I buy clothes, makeup or books but doesn’t care if I buy manga or board games which he uses too.”
“I bought some lululemon leggings which he get annoyed at me for after checking the label saying I was buying overpriced garbage.”
She then purchased socks for herself that happened to be $12 a pair, which her boyfriend also took issue over.
Oh, and when it was Christmas time, she purchased a large skincare kit and had to hide it away in between her clothing so that he wouldn’t see it and make mean comments about her spending her own money.

Interestingly enough, while her boyfriend was employed, he didn’t ever make remarks to her about her spending habits.
Now that he’s unemployed though, that has changed, and he’s incessantly talking about what she buys while thinking that she should be the one to pay for every single one of their dates since he doesn’t have money.
She did tell her boyfriend that she has no problem staying home to keep things affordable, but he’s the one who insists on “going out” to “have fun.”
She wishes that if their roles were reversed and she didn’t have a job that her boyfriend would step up and pay for her, but it’s hard to believe that would be the case since the comments he makes are so terrible.
Everything her boyfriend says about her spending is leaving her growing with resentment for him.
Yesterday evening, she even got into an enormous argument with her boyfriend after she bought herself a nice coat and attempted to “sneak” it into their home, yet he caught her.
She’s somehow wondering if she’s in the wrong for spending her money however she wants.
Do you think she is?
