I plan on asking my bf to give me money as a gift instead of purchasing me other expensive items.
Why do you think it is good to ask your boyfriend for money?
It is not exactly about the money at all. I really just want to find out if he really cares or not.
It is not right to ask your partner for money. This will make you look like you are in the relationship for the wrong reasons.
I deserve this money and I deserve his love. Why don't you want me to be happy.
I do, but you should just allow your boyfriend to get whatever gift he wants to get you for your birthday. Telling him to just give you money seems like you do not have confidence in him being thoughtful. Either way, it may be better off to just allow him the freedom to get you whatever gift he likes.
