Q&A-I CAN'T RELY ON HIM. WHAT NEXT?

11:31 AM Posted by MS.NOVA


My guy is great, nine times out of ten. Here is the story. I'm moving into a new place and he OFFERED to pay for the movers, a painter and a handyman. Great right!? I did the research, priced around but was uncomfortable bringing it up because I don't like talking about money with him. I finally get the nerve to say "The movers should come by on Saturday and the painter's estimate was $500." he freaks out.

Oh! I didn't mention that he is loaded and will gladly spend thousands at the bar or on a trip. But when it comes to me, it's like every quarter has a string attached. His excuse? "I thought it would be like $100 and that you would do only 1 wall. Can't you move things yourself? The independence will make you a stronger woman!" WHAT!?! He offered to pay for it, I tell him the price and now he is bailing, when I need him! Its summer, 10000 degrees and I can't move a couch by myself!

Because he has money I catch myself thinking "I'm so lucky to be with him, he could have any girl." I'll bite my tongue or act different or not be 100% myself around him. I love him, we've had issues in the past but he begged me back. So why act like this?

I can only rely on him to a point. What do I do?
