My boyfriend is stingy, iin

My boyfriend of 1 year never buys me gifts,he asks me to pay for petrol when we went on first vacation together,i did pitch in with food etc,he then booked us into a hostel instead of a hotel which I didn't know until got there and then I paid half for that as well.In the beginning of relationship he paid for dates,we didn't go out every night once a week to a an inexpensive restaurant oof which I chose the cheapest dish and even drank water,he did take me out to cinema and pay for it and I paid for the snacks which were just as expensive .He recently told me he cant keep on paying for dates and thinks iam taking advatantage of him and insists I pay dutch for everything in the future.this guy is has a very good job and he always buying expensive gadgets for himself. iam and I recenty lost my job of 3 years so I thought he was very insensitive telling me that,iam not a gold digger just be nice if he wasn't keeping tabs on who pays what all the time.If a guy surprised me with nice gifts I do the same thing back but he does nothing I feel like his friend and not his girlfriend in the relationship.He also told me he dined at expensive restarants and expensive holidays with his exes and I feel that he not trying to impress me.selfishness is a horrible trait.I started going on free dates with him like park and hiking,but he wouldn't even buy me a bottle of water when I made the picnic.

    If after a year of dating this guy doesn't feel the need to pay when he asks you out, then chances are you won't even get an allowance when you are taking care of his kids on maternity leave. I can see your trying to manage your home on less money than he spends on internet porn each month.
    Time to look toward your future and leave this cheapskate in the the past.

    Dump the guy, and meet a real man. He doesn't feel the same as he use to, love. In my opinion, if he buys expensive gadgets for himself, but can't buy you a bottle of water for you, why are you even with this guy? If it hurts you to dump him, pain is temporary. You're the person who can decide how long that pain lasts. Either end it now and deal with less pain. Or keep giving him a chance, reach a dead end, and dead with pain that'll last longer.

    I think it's normal for some people, but I personally couldn't be with a guy like that.

    It's different if he is against gift-giving, money is tight, or some other reason. But for a wo/man to simply not buy their lover a gift because they didn't want to spend money? That's not a good prelude to what's going to need to happen if you guys get married and have kids.
