Her Boyfriend Has Been Acting Cheap Ever Since He Found Out That Her Parents Are Rich

A 21-year-old woman has a boyfriend that she has been seeing for close to a year. 8 months ago, they took the next step in their relationship, which kind of backfired for her.
It was 8 months ago that she decided to bring her boyfriend to meet her mom and dad, and on that trip, her boyfriend suddenly saw that her parents are very rich.
She doesn’t consider herself to be “snobby” even though she comes from money, and after the trip to meet her parents, she did tell her boyfriend more about her mom and dad’s financial status.
As soon as her boyfriend got a handle on what kind of money her family has, he started “acting cheap.”
She currently attends college, and although her parents cover the cost of her rent and give her an allowance, that’s the limit of what they do for her money-wise.
Her mom and dad keep her on a tight leash when it comes to her being spoiled or getting anything beyond rent and her allowance.
“But my boyfriend thinks that I’m super-rich even though my parents are very strict about spoiling me,” she explained.
Lately, her boyfriend has been refusing to spend any kind of money on her or their dates, as she believes he thinks she can simply afford to foot the bill for everything.
This all began when her boyfriend asked her a bunch of times to buy dinner for both of them and bring it over to his home.

That wasn’t something that initially bothered her, but then he started saying they should go out to grab food and he would conveniently forget his wallet so she had to pick up the tab.
When they did return to her boyfriend’s place, he flat out refused to pay her back for the food, and he accused her of being the “cheap” one.
She isn’t cheap, but she does feel that her boyfriend is now treating her unfairly since he knows about her mom and dad’s money.
There have been instances since then where her boyfriend has made her pay for other things like coffee, and she is starting to feel used.
She did attempt to speak to him about her feelings, but he won’t engage with her.
Another part of their relationship that’s starting to weigh on her is that she drives an hour to his place every single weekend to see him, which does cost more since the price of gas has gone up.
“It isn’t that cheap and gas for the whole trip is usually $20-$30 and it hasn’t been an issue before but now I feel like it’s a huge difference in how much money we spend in the relationship,” she said.
“He never really takes me out on dates either but he has no problem going out to eat and drink with his friends 3-4 times a week.”
“I feel like I’m being played in some way and considering I’m very careful with my spending this has become alarming.”
