I do live in the US but prior to that I lived in Europe. In my experience people don’t just give other people money, especially large amounts, on neither continent. Yes some people support their spouses if one stays home with young children or someone became disabled etc people also support their kids when they are young or elderly parents and so on. I rarely ever met people on either continent who supported others in different circumstances, even if they were wealthy.

Some people do support others of course but it’s not common at all. Usually these things are discussed ahead of time when people enter committed relationship: how are people going to split finances and in what circumstances they’d support each other. Then people see if they are compatible. Looks like he doesn’t believe he has to support you. I don’t think you can change his mind

honestly I’d be livid if my husband gave some woman 6000 or even 600 or even 60. That would be absolutely ridiculous. But we share finances and household bills and have common financial plans etc Our money belongs to us both so we can’t just throw it around without consulting with each (of course we spend what we want with regular purchases but not with large amounts like thousands of dollars!)

But your boyfriend likely felt he can do what he wants with his money. He doesn’t think it’s something you two had to discuss or that money belongs to you both. He is who he is. Do you think he is capable of changing?
