Ladies , what do you think about stingy men?

I'm not a money grabbing person at all , just want to be treated well

My 'boyfriend' asked me to look for a cheap hotel deal so we can go away next week and I love finding bargains so looked everywhere online & found a hotel by the seaside for £24 for the both of us ( £12 each ) he said he needed a break out of London and I agreed it would do us both good and was looking forward to it

We also agreed that as I had something else I had to do on Valentines night that we would go out for a Valentines dinner on another day , so I found a cracking deal for a 2 course meal for 2 for £8 , that's just £4 each which is amazing since it included prawn starters & lamb main courses so was very happy & looking forward to our bargain dinner too...

He came round today to book it but fell asleep as soon as he got here but when he woke up he started moaning about the cost and prices of it all - I had already got us a £10 discount each on the train tickets and got just about what rock bottom bargain prices I could for everything!!!

He works extra hours and his rent is dirt cheap as he shares his room with another guy

Anyway he started moaning and said its all going to ''cost him a fortune'' and he 'forgot' he had to pay his rent on the first of the month , but he has been paying his rent on the 1st of every month for years on end so how would he forget??? lol

So he was proper moaning about the cost and I told him I was looking forward to it and lots of women wouldn't be happy about a £4 Valentines dinner but I didn't mind ( especially as I love fish / prawns & lamb! ) but he was moaning and getting reluctant to go ahead with it all EVEN THOUGH HE NEARLY BOUGHT A £34 JACKET & WAS LOOKING @ TRAINERS FOR HIMSELF ONLINE A FEW DAYS AGO , but he said he would get them next time he was here

HE wanted to go away for a nice trip , the first place I suggested cost £73 for 2 nights so I even got the trip down to just one night for £24 but that wasn't cheap enough obviously

So I decided I DIDN'T WANT TO GO WITH HIM ANYWAY as had put up with alot of **** already as have a major problem he was supposed to be helping cheer me up with but he wasn't actually anyway and I just changed my mind about EVERYTHING including being with HIM

Anyway , he wanted to go ahead with the £8 for 2 dinner but I said NO as I didn't want to go anymore anyway since he was moaning about it & he stormed out which is fine coz I don't want to be with him anyway

So ladies , how do you feel about proper stingy men??? I don't want a posh restaurant with champagne and caviar but to have him moan about a £4 Valentines dinner & a very cheap trip away which would have cost less than the trainers & jacket it makes me resentful because he was supposed to be looking forward to it , supposed to love me , and supposed to want to spend some quality time with the woman he loves even though it was on the cheap which I didn't mind at all

I got the cheapest prices possible and he was STILL moaning , and I do events and he gets free entry and free drinks which suits him well and I just get a packet of crisps from him on the way home when at least when I'm on my own I get myself chicken and chips and I hear other girls even get a KEBAB!!! LOL ;-)

He is a smoker like myself but he was resenting giving me a few of his fags when he visited so he stopped bringing his fags round and would buy them for himself on the way home! I needed a lighter today as have none in the house so was going to ask him to get me one but got nervous about it so was going to ask him to buy me a box of matches instead!!

I am pretty skint and smoke roll ups so it was nice to have a proper cigarette occasionally together and sometimes I don't think he would care if I was starving hungry and had no food in the house even though he works in a restaurant and gets free food to bring home whenever he likes but never brings me any and only did so on 2 occasions when he first met me when he was trying to impress me lol

I think its a ruddy joke personally - I just want the normal things and kindness is a lovely quality and I had already got him his Valentines card and present but he hasn't even THOUGHT about mine SO HE HAD TO GO and ''I love you'' don't crack it if he does nothing for me from his heart!

P.S His presents are going on Ebay :-) lol it is a bit hurtful though coz he makes me feel like I am worth nothing when I am worth WAY more than a £4 Valentines dinner and a Travelodge type hotel or a box of matches or a packet of crisps after a free night out! ( and he's got money for jackets and trainers for himself )

    If you are having this sort of money issues right now, it is not going to get better. It will more likely get worse, so I think you need to move on. Being frugal and being stingy are two different things. Frugal I can handle, but stingy I cannot handle. Nor can I handle being obsessed with money.
