I have a boyfriend, we have been together a year now, and I love him very much, but there is just something I am not sure about, this is a problem, let me explain, Everytime that I have money, I like to buy myself something nice, but when he knows this he asks for something too, he will pick something like a child in a candy store, I tell him I was going to buy me something with it, he says"It is only $50, besides I gave you money last time to spend, and I'm taking you to dinner. But for some reason I always have to give money. I hate this, what can I do??? Any help will be appreciated.

Don't let him know you're planning to shop for yourself. Go and shop alone or with a girl friend. Ask him what his problem is with you wanting to spend your money on yourself. It sounds to me as though he's trying to control your money. That's not right.
