​I recently asked my boyfriend for a shopping allowance. I rarely ask him for anything because he always provides for me when he feels the time is right. This time, the amount he offered was so small it would only cover a meal. I know it is his hard-earned money and I respect that, but now I am conflicted. Should I refuse it, or will that make me look ungrateful? Or should I just accept it? Note: He is financially stronger than me and even bought me a very expensive gift earlier this year.i am enjoying that gift and grateful for it.
