I can’t make this shit up. So my (23M) and my boyfriend (40M) -both males - have been together for almost a year. My car recently broke down and he’s been helping me to pay for reparations. This isn’t free because I told him that I will pay for everything as soon as I get my next paycheck. He told me that it was alright so I thought we had an agreement.
The thing is that it was way more than I expected, so when the mechanic disclosed the prices with us I was a little surprised, but this doesn’t matter since I have a job that’s not that bad and I live with my parents. I can easily pay that with like my next 3 or 4 paychecks. This was 1 week ago, I received my paycheck this last Friday so I sent him the money I owed him. He immediately sent the money back and messaged me asking me why did I send him money. After that I saw him at his place and I brought it up. I told him that even if I appreciate his kindness that i didn’t accept his help for free, that we accorded that I was going to pay for the reparations and that he agreed with that.
He said he wanted to help me and that he knew that I was going through a hard time since my father recently lost his job due to health problems and that helping me was the right thing to do. I told him that I can’t accept his money like that, it was almost $1,000 and that’s not fair, so I eventually sent part of the money again.
He’s now upset with me because I ignored what he was trying to say, I told him that he’s not a sugar daddy, he’s my bf so he needs to stop. He called me ignorant for thinking that almost $1,000 was a lot of money and told me that I can call him when I stopped being a baby. I’m honestly mad because I think I hurt his feelings. AITA for it? Because if I am I can accept my stubbornness :(
