" My boyfriend makes a lot more money than I do. I pay for things when I can, I almost always pitch in when we go out, and I&amp;amp;#146;ve made it clear that I don&amp;amp;#146;t expect him to buy me expensive gifts. But every time we fight, he accuses me of dating him for his money. How can I show him that I&amp;amp;#146;m interested in him, not his paycheck? First of all, cut yourself some slack. It sounds like you&amp;amp;#146;re already doing all you can to show Richie Rich you&amp;amp;#146;re no gold digger &amp;amp;#151; which is why I think your boyfriend is just being manipulative. He&amp;amp;#146;s discovered that accusing you of dating him for his money is an easy way to get you to back down in a fight, and he&amp;amp;#146;s milking that little trick for all it&amp;amp;#146;s worth.  Next time he accuses you of loving his wallet more than him, respond by saying, &amp;amp;#147;You&amp;amp;#146;re wrong, but since this clearly bothers you so much, let&amp;amp;#146;s start scaling back how much money we spend together so we can split everything right down the middle.&amp;amp;#148; When he backs down &amp;amp;#151; and he will, since he has no interest in drastically altering your dating lifestyle when there&amp;amp;#146;s no need to &amp;amp;#151; remind him of all the ways you pitch in, and then explain to him that he can&amp;amp;#146;t have it both ways. He&amp;amp;#146;ll realize that if anyone should be feeling guilty for his or her behavior, it&amp;amp;#146;s him. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
