If you’re competing with his last girlfriend to see who gets him to buy you the most stuff, you may be in this relationship for the wrong reasons. But if you really are interested in him and a relationship with him, then you have to stop comparing what he buys you with what he bought her. It’s the wrong game. 🙁
Your boyfriend is either really burned because he was rejected by his last girlfriend and has decided that he’s never going to put his heart or his wallet on the line again because he thinks that will protect himself — or else he’s decided to test all future girlfriends to see if they want him for richer or poorer by not spending money on them to see if they stay.
You can judge what he’s doing, but that won’t get you anywhere. What will work is to accept that he’s bummed out right now and his reaction is to close up his wallet. If you want to be with him, you don’t have to be a victim. You can accept dates with him or not. You don’t have to agree to stay in the house with him. There are lots of things to do that don’t cost money or are pretty economical like hiking, going to the beach, walking in the park, picnicking, window shopping, going to museums on free days, going to matinee movies and getting discount theater tickets — to name a few! I’ve even got a bunch of budget dates in my book, Ideas For A Fun Date, that you can purchase here: [url]https://www.askapril.com/relationship-dating-advice/ideas-for-a-fun-date.html[/url]! 😀
If you really want to be with him and you care about his feelings as well as your own, make your dates out of the house, but economical and see if that works for both of you! 🙂
Let me know how things go — I really hope this helps you.
