Ok, here's the thing on my bf. Everytime he talks about buying something or anything like that he has to include how much it costs. Actually everything that comes out of his mouth has to have the price included in it.

It's really irritating and I just had to tell him...can't you talk about an item without including the price??? He said no. I told him when he does that that it gives people the impression that he's all about money and it's the only thing he cares about. That's the impression it gives me, anyways.

His reaction to that? No, he didn't deny anything. He just simply laid down on the couch and didn't utter another word about anything. Before that he was just chattering away. I know this bugged him.

I'm sorry but I just get so sick of it. It's almost as if he's shoving things in my face.

Examples: "My mom gave me everything I ever wanted growing up. She took 3 jobs to give me everything." "My dad was gonna give us his entertainment center. But I refused it. I wanted him to have it. It was $400." "Your dad should be making a lot more than he does. He has a good job and works hard. $15,000 isn't a lot of money a year."

Those are how most of his conversations are, too. Everything with the price or monetary amount included in them.

It really makes me feel bad because I can't afford any of the things his family can since they have money and him mentioning prices or incomes or whatever is coming across as his family being better than mine, who are very poor.
