HI salukigirl,
I was raised exactly the same way you were. But you know what? That doesn't necessarily make it the only right way. It took me years to understand this. It is a good thing to be able to generally take care of yourself. I did this for a very long time and still do to a certain degree. But my husband doesn't mind helping me at all. And this is the first time I've ever known it like this.
Taking money from someone who cares about you when you need it is a good thing. It means that you have the ability to care for yourself. No one looks down on you for doing that. And i'm sure your boyfriend is happy to do it.
All the rest of the stuff you've had to go through recently sucks. No one would be happy about it. So, let yourself enjoy a little help. It's not much but it is a little help. And there is nothing wrong with that.
