    Stop being so materialistic. My partner doesn't buy me flowers or chocolate. Hell, in the six and a half years we have been together we have seen one movie (that his mum paid for because we done some work for her) been out to dinner once (with his family, so that probably wouldn't count either) and i can count the amount of time he's given me flowers with my ears. He hasn't brought me an anniversary present in half a decade... And i couldn't be happier! Does he love you? Do you love him (not his income)? Is he honest? Is he faithful? If you can answer yes to these four questions, i don't think flowers are guna make the "big difference" you think they are. Granted a surprise every now and then is nice, but if he starts spoiling you all the time, you won't appreciate it as much.

    Money does NOT make a boyfriend!!! IF he's good to you & treats you with love & respect, that's worth ALL the money in the world!!! I don't know what you call making a "lot of money"; but, IF he indeed does make a lot of money & still needs to borrow from his family, that tells me that he does NOT handle his money very well!!! The one thing that I can tell you is...IF he's cheap with his money now...he will be even cheaper IF you 2 ever get married!!! IF it bothers you now...it's going to bother you more when you 2 finally get married!!!

    Maybe he is saving for the future. Stop spoiling him and save for yours. Don't pay for anything for him, pay equally.
