I see relationships as transactional? Or was my ex cheap?
Dated this man 38M 24F for a little more than one year, I have very high standards and we both come from very well off backgrounds.
He knew that the man before him gifted me an apartment even before he started dating me but he kept going on, throughout the relationship he gave me two gifts totaling 4500 dollars. After we parted I told him I always thought he was cheap and never felt cherished by him, that being with him made me let go of myself.
Am I being transactional? Because I expected him to spoil me for my time or was he cheap?
