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

There is providing and there is providing. If you were living together then let him provide a roof over your head, utilities, food, some clothing, some entertainment and transportation. Then there is what you can provide, as well. A thank you for loving me meal either you cook or take him out. You will want to buy your own beauty supplies, some of your own clothes, entertainment and things of that nature.

That should strike a balance :)

Yeah I'd happily have that balance but since we don't live together now I can't offer him anything so can't for now :)
