What is he doing?

In most cases, you deprive them of sex.

@Miram i don't like one of his girl friends. He gave her money a couple days ago cos she had 拢23 left and her parents money hadn't come through yet. It pissed me off so much cos he knows I don't like that they're friends and also I have 拢25 left in my account but never asked him for shit.

But he has paid for my groceries when we are together and always pay for me when we go out.

@Mermaid A man that helps out his friends is a good man. You have to learn to trust his judgement sometimes.

@Miram true, thanks 馃挄 Im just a jealous person
@Miram depriving him of sex is a good idea I guess as long as you don't mind if he then gets his sex elsewhere behind your back.
Miram31-35, F
@Mermaid Don't push him for that. But do tell him you get jealous. It's important to be open about your feelings 馃挄 you are welcome

The sex thing was a j o k e. Loosen up peeps.
Mermaid22-25, F
@Miram I did and he even thinks it's cute sometimes. It's torture for me though 馃槀

@Miram sex is not a joking matter 馃槨
@Mermaid He's going to have friends. A person that expects their girlfriend or boyfriend to drop their friends because of their personal opinion of them isn't ready to have a relationship. He helped her because he's a good friend.

You don't have much money in your account....but did you ASK for help? Do you think you're better because you didn't ask and she did?

Sounds like you're not ready for a relationship if you feel you have to control him or look for petty reasons to complain about.
@YouCanCallMeDan Guys that fall for that tactic aren't men.

@SW-User 馃槀 @EllaDisenchanted it's not up to any of us to decide whether or not others are ready for relationships, espacially based on things they are still learning.

@EllaDisenchanted I鈥檓 pretty sure most men in relationships just want an easy life. So sex does become a woman鈥檚 weapon of choice
@Miram You learn by making mistakes. Sometimes that mistake is to get involved in a relationship before you're ready. I'm merely pointing out a huuuuuuge sticking point in relationships that generally fail: Lack of respect for your partner to the point of telling them whom to associate with.

That's a person to immature to be in a relationship.

@EllaDisenchanted I think I did the better thing by not asking him because I respected that it's his money. But he knew I had barely any money. Ive never controlled him about anything, he's probably the most free guy who's in a relationship in the world lol. Nobody is ever ready for a relationship in that case because everybody has flaws. Jealousy is mine and he knows that. I never think that just because there's a little problem in a relationship that you should just drop it. I wouldn't be in love with him if I did that. I'm in love with him and that's why I will always try make it work. Like coming on here for advice.
@YouCanCallMeDan And men need to call women on it just like most of us are willing to call men on it. It's manipulation no matter whom it's from.

Personally, I lose respect when sex is used as a weapon.

@Mermaid You are very open minded. I think you are already showing maturity by being open to criticisms and being willing to discuss matters with him. I wish you both the best of luck 馃憤

@EllaDisenchanted it doesn鈥檛 work the other way around. Women like being in control more than they like sex
