overthinking

overthinking

I have been dating my boyfriend for like 2 weeks, its a new relationship and i have been overthinking a lot. Hes been like perfect, calling me pretty, saying he loves me, and never making me cry like i do in previous relationships. Why am i overthinking if hes so perfect you ask? im overthinking because im not sure if he actually loves me.

He says he loves me only when i offer him money when hes having money troubles. When i dont give him money his energy kinda changes, but thats probably just me. Also, when we talk its kinda dry and im like really trying to pull conversation out, and so does he but im used to toxic relationships where we can make fun of each other and laugh about it. I called him stupid as a joke and he said "ok".

I dont wanna end the relationship bc i actually do love him a lot, and maybe bc its a new relationship and im not used to it? But idk if i can keep this relationship going, hes like so dry sometimes and there are times where i just dont wanna talk to him at all bc of how dry he is. Im not good with carrying conversations so its awkward for me.

Im like overthinking if hes bored of this relationship bc of the dryness of the conversations. Im not sure what to even do here, maybe we just arent meant to be together and we're forcing it? i know that i do love him but im not sure if he even loves me even tho he does say it. I forgot to mention that he trauma dumps too and i feel bad bc im not even sure how to help.

His brother told me he had a stroke (i wrote about this in my other posts) and my boyfriend told me his mom has cancer and has 3 months to live, thats why hes been so stressed bc he wants to get a plane ticket to see her in Arizona. (From North Carolina to Arizona is like $400-$500) and hes broke too. Of course i feel bad but i feel like hes putting it on me and im not sure what to do, i dont have that kind of money.

He doesnt even have a job and im sure he isnt even looking for one, im also sure that if i ask him if he's looking for a job he'll get mad knowing how sensitive he can be. I also promised to spoil him bc i wasnt comfortable saying no when he tells me his struggles, so the least i can do is at least help a bit.

Me and my mom have a linked bank account and she saw i was sending money (she doesnt know of him) and stopped talking to me for 3 days but now im even more lost bc i want to be a supportive girlfriend but i also want my mom to talk to me.

Trust that in a few years you’ll look back and realize how stupid this plight is.

His lack of resourcefulness isn’t your problem nor should it ever be. If he really needs money, he can grow a pair of balls and go work for it. You don’t have the financial means to make a pour investment in a loser.

That’s as little as I can possibly sugar coat it for you.

Don’t date a loser. Don’t take a two week old relationship seriously.

Honest answer is ditch the boyfriend, apologise to your mum for sending the money. Reconciliation with her means much more and something a parent will appreciate. Expect that you may need to pay her the money back if it is her money you sent. You will need to be open on what happened as you breached her trust. You need to start showing her she can trust you again. It wont be easy but it is worth it in the long run. We all make mistakes but now it is important we learn from them.

I'd suggest it is also a time to reflect and mature. If you don't have a bank account of your own it is time to set one up. If you are old enough to work getting a job will also help you see and value money.

Although it is sad the situation the person you met is in he needs to grow up and seek the right help. His brother or wider family can sort the air fare and you have no obligation to help him.

You will meet someone better in the future and you have plenty of time.
You probably shouldn't be giving him money.
You say you want to be a supportive girlfriend, but that doesn't mean you should be carrying him. You probably will have other boyfriends, but you only have one mother. 🤗

A relationship based on money is not a relationship and likely a scam

@Bearsfan67 its not based on money, i offered him money bc he told me his struggles, but now i think hes just used to it and held me to my promise to spoil him

@entitylie just be careful. Trust your gut feeling. What would happen if you stopped paying him. If he’s cool with that and still loves you then it’s real. If not then you’ll know for sure.
