my boyfriend is a really good man, but he is very immature for his age 29!. He wears dirty clothes, broken shoes, pants hanging because forgot his belt, showers once a day its crazy. I have been guiding him. When we started dating 3 months ago, on out first date I offered to pay for food since he paid for the movies. he didn’t hesitated and agreed. Then invited me to a hockey game. he bought the tickets i helped with tolls and parking. I want to contribute. every once in a while i pay for everything. I even went grocery shopping with him and he picked some things and i paid, i didn’t care. I also have to be honest he pays most of the time. Lately we haven’t gone out because i asked him to come over my apartment and i cook dinner. yesterday he took me to a restaurant. The bill was $18. he paid with his card and asked me if i had cash for tips. i said i only had 2 dollars and he asked, don’t you have 5 dollars? i said no! i said why don’t you pay the tip with you card and he said no. but then he opened his wallet and had a bunch of 5, 1, 10, 20 dollars bills. i said so you have change why did you ask me if i had? he said well i am paying for the bill, you have to contribute with something!! I felt so offended. it was only $18 plus tip. when i cook for him i don’t ask him to help me with expenses. i really felt offended by what he said. WHAT DO YOU THINK? I even bought him clothes and stuffs for valentines. i think he is very cheap. what do you think? be honest?

Based on what you typed in your question, I think you are wrong.
-The precedent has been set in your relationship that you often contribute when the 2 of you go out. You say "I want to contribute."
-You also admit that most of the time, he pays for everything.
-I don't see any reason that you felt offended by him asking you to contribute this time. You seem to feel that you should only contribute if you feel like it, and the rest of the time it should all be on him. I don't think that's fair or right.
Honestly? I think you hooked up with a guy you THOUGHT you could fix. You've been, "guiding him" sounds more like "trying to change him". You knew right up front how he is so I am surprised that YOU are annoyed that you had to pay the tip. It's not a contest and it sounds like you're keep score of all the nice things you do for him.
