I like helping my boyfriend financially and buying him things
I (33f) have a younger boyfriend (22m). I’ll start by saying that I’m totally sure that he’s not just using me for money. He was head over heels for me from day 1.
I said no to him a few times because of the age gap, but he kept trying really hard (without harassing me of course) for two months until I said yes. We’ve been together for a year.
I wouldn’t call myself rich, but I’m not poor either, both my parents are plastic surgeons. My boyfriend was/is in a very poor financial situation.
His parents stuggle financially, his mum can’t get jobs because she has health issues, his dad is the only source of income and he doesn’t make much.
I gave him the money to get a driving license and he looked really happy when he realized I was gonna help him. I won’t buy him a whole brand new car because I’d feel dumb, things need to be earned, but I’ll help his dad buy him a modest second hand car.
Sometimes I occasionally buy him things he can’t afford (even just videogames) because I like how he reacts like a happy kid when I do these things, he comes from a poor family and he’s not used to receiving gifts.
Idk, I get a sense of pleasure out if it because I love him and I just like making him happy without receiving anything in return.
Most men assume I look for money in a man because I’m not exactly an ugly woman. But the truth is that it’s actually the other way round, since I’ve never needed more money than I have, money is the last box a man has to tick on my priority list.
Even if one day our relationship ends (I hope not) I won’t regret these little things I’ve done.
