Why does my gf constantly ask me to buy her things? I kinda feel objectified. Like I’m just a wallet. Hopefully I can get some real answers this time instead of “now you know how it feels to be objectified” when I am very respectful to everyone and women

you needa have that talk with her, only she knows what she’s thinking. maybe she grew up in a traditional household where that kind of dynamic was normal. maybe she knows that you’ll say yes so she keeps doing it. it doesn’t necessarily mean that she’s only using you for your money or objectifying you, but if that’s how you feel then you need to communicate with her. not strangers on the internet

Talk with her. And wdym always asking to buy things? Like just on dates or having you buy unnecessary items? We don’t know your dynamic or either of your spending habits. It’s best to communicate with her how you’re feeling

So dump her if it bothers you and she won't listen to your concerns. Sounds like she doesn't value you as a partner

like any relationship, if you feel like you’re giving more than you’re receiving and they won’t respond to communication, just walk away

If you’ve talked with her and neither of you can come to an agreement, it’s simply not working. To preserve your dignity, I would leave her unless she gives you a set plan of how she wants to change (if that’s really what she wants). You should still leave if she’s changing just to change because that will cause resentment. I am a woman who likes men. Even though I’m becoming an MD, I want a man who enjoys providing for me. If he’s not happy doing this, I would also leave him. Best of luck, OP.

I’ve been through this too w multiple women, it’s like they just feel entitled to it like I’m their dad or something. Just leave her you’re probably being used

if you can’t have a serious conversation with your gf then you might need to reconsider the relationship

It doesn’t start that way. It starts when they figure out what I do for work, which I usually keep to myself for a while

& they’re not “the same type of woman” they’ve all been pretty different. Comfort and stability is just something that everyone seeks and a lot of ppl take advantage of

That’s part of the point, most men don’t mind paying for things and buying gifts but there’s a point where it goes too far and they’re being taken advantage of and that’s what OP seems to be describing

Im not so quick to throw away my relationships. I like to try and work things out instead of leaving after I said something once.
