If I want money I have to ask and he never once dear thinks to himself let me give her a little extra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if I ask (for example) for a $20 you better believe it is just the $20 I&#8217;m getting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes he makes it seem as if it&#8217;s a problem for me to ask him because when I do ask, he has a weird attitude before he gives me.&nbsp;These things irritate me. I have never cheated on him but for how I feel he gives me the urge to do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have reached a point in which I believe I deserve better. Some people may not find what I complain about an issue but some would be in a similar position and understand exactly how I feel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>To the men out there if you have a good woman, treat her right, do things for her without her asking, be the man that you should be to earn all her respect, love and trust.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stranded<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dea Stranded,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a sad situation, if things are in fact as you state them. Not that I doubt your story but I am hoping for your sake that there is another side to this story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some say chivalry died long time ago but I am still hang on to some hope. I know your letter to me focused a lot on the aspect of transportation but I know that you just used this as a good example of the treatment meted out to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is clear to me though, that perhaps your man is losing feelings for you. This is evident in the fact that he doesn&#8217;t seem interested in going the extra-mile for you (no pun intended).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something tells me that he has not always been like this but I guess now that he has gotten what he wants he no longer values it. Its like a child with a new toy only to discard it after christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in salvaging this relationship you might want to discuss it with him but from the way it sounds your man is long gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<br> He seems to be immature&nbsp;and clueless about a relationship and what it should entail.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Talk to him about your concerns. Let him know that his interest in the relationship is too careless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>If he is really just clueless about the whole&nbsp;thing then he will try to change.&nbsp; If not then it&#8217;s time to hit the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Best&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Kate<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-460219325\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Kate, I need some advice on a little problem in my 3-year relationship.&nbsp; My boyfriend makes me wonder if he truly cares.
