why does he always bring up money during arguments?

Every time my boyfriend and I argue, he somehow ends up talking about how much money he’s spent on me. He says it's not about being cheap, but that he wants me to know how good he’s been to me. The thing is, I’m just trying to focus on the issue at hand, but he brings up the money—how much he’s spent and how he’s never asked for anything in return. He always tells me that he’s not hesitant to spend on me, but the constant mention of money during fights leaves me confused. Is this really his way of showing he cares? Or does it just mean he’s more focused on what he’s putting out financially than on the emotional aspect of our relationship? It just feels strange to me that money comes up every time things get tense. #MoneyInRelationships #EmotionalNeeds #RelationshipConfusion

why does he never comfort me during arguments? should I stay?

I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost two years now, and we keep having the same argument—he never comforts me when I’m upset. He says he’ll change, but nothing ever improves. He’s great in many ways, like always being generous with money, but when it comes to my emotions, especially during arguments, he just shuts down. He doesn’t see how much it hurts when he ignores me or even says the wrong things to make it worse. Last night, we had another fight, and I cried for hours. He went to bed at midnight and didn’t even check in with me. It’s really getting to me, and now I’m wondering if I should just break up or if I’m overreacting. I feel lost and unsure—should I be more understanding, or is this a deal-breaker? Any advice on what I can do, or if I should just let this relationship go? #RelationshipProblems #EmotionalNeeds #BreakupAdvice
