Sounds like a keeper

Today, it's been a week since my boyfriend has touched me or even paid attention to me, because I refuse to buy him a car. I do everything for him and he owes me $3,000 already, but when I cried about using my savings on him, he said, "That’s not my problem.” FML

Today, I asked my boyfriend to help me with groceries, since the last of my money went to last week's groceries. His response was to start a fight, then tell me it's my fault my daughter acts the way she does, which is when he finally got me to break down and cry. I'm pregnant with his kid, and I also pay 90% of our bills. FML

Today, my girlfriend and I are fighting because I refuse to buy a new car. Apparently, I should put myself balls-deep in debt instead of hunting for a bargain, because it's "embarrassing" for me to buy a used car. This coming from the woman who tries to reuse bath water. FML

Today, my boyfriend keeps mentioning how well his new job pays, while I don’t have any income. He then got upset when I expected him to pay for the groceries I got on my way to his new place. What I bought was stuff I needed so I could cook for him, and for me to eat while I’m there, cleaning and fixing stuff for him. FML

Today, my boyfriend wanted to take me to a movie after days of not seeing me. This long-awaited date involved me paying for food and my movie ticket when he ran out of cash again. He then dumped me as we left the theater walking to his car. Yes, I financed my own breakup date. FML

Today, my boyfriend used the "this isn't working, we need to talk" line on me. How nice of him to wait this long to do so, just days after we returned from the expensive Caribbean holiday that I paid for. FML

Independence day

Today, I got a text from my dad asking about my car in the shop. I'm trying to show them that I can actually be independent, but now they know that not only will it cost all my savings account to fix it, but also that my boyfriend will be driving me to work for the next month while the shop waits for the parts.

Today, my boyfriend asked me to pick up a few things from the store for him while he was at work. After picking up everything he asked for, I wasn't left with much money so I used $50 from my account. When he got home he then grumbled about me spending all of "his" money. FML

Today, my boyfriend left me after I'd been supporting him for 9 months while he "finds himself." Why? Because I wanted to go grocery shopping instead of him eating out every day with my money. FML

Get out. Red flags. Red flags everywhere. Your boyfriend sounds like an entitled brat. - He does not pay you back the money he owes you. - He does not pay for his stuff and expect people to do it. - When you tell him about your distress, he selfishly reacting ('not my problem' what kind of answer is that?). Well it is not your problem if he can't pay for his car. - He tries to manipulate you emotionally by neglecting you. I am pretty sure that count as abuse. As I said, get out. The only thing he seems good at is holding you back and leeching your money.

You need to leave him. Sounds like he’s financially dependent on you.

This man is abusing you. Just because he is not leaving physical signs of abuse on your body does not make what he is doing okay. He seems to have a control grip on your mind; and he makes you to feel like less then you are by denying any affection towards you. I have been there. I even begged my ex to hug me or just touch my shoulder. He refused. A different man was able to mentally abuse me also and could guilt trip me into spending absurd amounts of money on things which specifically benefited only him. Cell phone, traveling with his 'cousin', (was not his cousin), even connections to get a job. Which he was fired from. Those experiences are in my past now; and I am with a man who is very worthy of my love. Please know your worth. You can do it.

a little bit more info on how he was before because if he has changed to this, talk it out he may have issues like depression and I know this from experience as I am going through severe depression and anxiety. If he isn't going through any of issues he's probably with you for the money, remember talk it out don't assume, because assuming breaks relationships, so does taking your money and if he is with you for the money, dump him.

Leave him! This is my very first comment ever on this platform.. Your story hit me so hard that I had to write something.

Time to leave, if he cannot take care of himself and expects you to pay for everything GTFO. Because this won't be a one time thing this will be the case all the time. I speak from bitter experience. Please pack a bag and leave.
