I don't really know how relationships go so help???

I was talking about how I'm gonna get a job and my boyfriend said if I work I'll only need to for 1-2 months because in 1-2 months he'll be making good money and will send me stuff. I was like aw that's nice but I can get it myself. Then he was like no you can get it for yourself but you're not supposed to, you're my girl. I was saying that's sweet but its better if I work for myself. Then he was saying no you're my responsibility. You'll be taken care of as long as you're my girl, that's not up for debate馃槉. Again I said no and he said he feels worthless when he doesn't provide for me or protect me, that he doesn't feel like a man. I don't want him to provide for me I feel wayyy too guilty and I don't understand why he wants to 'provide for me'馃槱 How do I get him to listen because I also want a job because it's nice to be productive

You can tell him that you appreciate what he's saying, and that's he's a good man for wanting to take care of you, but like him, you need to work and carry your weight too. You're not an object to possess. You're a woman who needs to feel productive, and be able to purchase things and pay for bills too. You don't want to ask him for money all the time, as that will make him resentful.
