Hello, my name is Sam. There's a lot that I can say about myself, but if you'd like that then you could always message me and we can have a nice cup of tea together :D

I am not very old, so I might not have too much life experience, but I do like to help people. I know that life often throws unexpected blows at people, but I am so extremely optimistic. Hopefully some of my optimism will rub off on the people to whom I am giving advice. I am happy to help with anything! :)

Okay, let's face it. My boyfriend's family is from certain wealth, and it doesn't help that he has a very high paying job.

He wants to buy me stuff, expencive stuff. Like a new laptop and he wants to pay for the internet connection, things of that nature.

I was not born that way. I've had to earn everything I have and it makes me feel a little uncomfortable having him buy me all of this. I know it's practically pocket change to him, but I still don't like it.

I know it hurts him sometimes to have me argue with him over this, but I'm just confused now. What do you guys think? Should I just try and not argue over this anymore? (link)
I see what you mean, but honestly if it makes him happy to buy you all of this, then that's really sweet on his part. It shows that he is very caring and although his family is wealthy, he still has a generous nature. If the situation were different, he would probably still give you many gifts, but probably less expensive ones. Some people just love to give and if he is one of those then I wouldn't fight it. Especially if it makes him sad when you argue about it :(.

I'm sure he doesn't expect extravagant gifts from you and that he understands that your economic situations are different. But anyways, gifts should always come from the heart, and it sounds like his heart is all for giving to the girl he loves :).

Thanks, he's the most amazing guy and I love him to death, but it's just hard to take sometimes. Believe me when I say he'll be estatic when I stop arguing over this. I just hope he doesn't go too overboard, but knowing him, he will. *Laughs* Thanks again.
