He is stingy

If he has a hard time accepting that you only eat once a day, then he can help you plan a menu and help with expenses.

PS - you don't say where you moved, but there are food centers that give out free food in the USA.

No, but you should take better care of yourself. It's your responsibility to feed yourself so you do not go hungry. I don't know what went on in his head when you told him about your going hungry. Maybe he felt helpless and couldn't speak about his thoughts...but who knows?

If where you're living is too expensive, you should reconsider moving. Are you wanting him to support you? Do you have plans of marriage, living together as a permanent couple or do you have some sort of commitment agreement?

I came for my masters program, and we both agreed to get married when I get back in 2 years time

I came for my masters program, and we both agreed to get married when I get back in 2 years time, am a student, he is working, I just believes it's his responsibility to assist me once in a while.its so embarrassing when ordinary friends get bothered, and try to assist and he's not

Thanks , but am not that broke, to the extent of looking for centers that gives out free food.ok.and it will interest you to know that, I have never bothered him for stuffs before, just having challenges at the moment. That's all

I find it interesting that you cannot afford to eat, but you can afford to go online.

Then you need to speak up to him if you're not just a casual couple and are planning marriage. When you are hungry, you can't concentrate and surviving and being healthy is primary goal. If you both agree and happen to have this common goal of your gaining a degree, he should help you. But you need to help yourself if your living situation is not working out well enough - re-evaluate being there. That lifestyle is not acceptable or conducive to achieving your goal.

However, when you write:
So then your keeping yourself from eating properly because you're too proud to get donated food? Or your not making your budgetary efforts work?

You're not looking too credible any longer, sorry. He should assist you, instead?

Setanta am a student so we were given free sim cards and data alright

Are you hungry now? If so, what are you doing about it? Complaining to online strangers about his stinginess won't fix your problem.

Fixing the problem either means ...

1. Get donated food place and cook
or
2. Call b/f and have him send some money
or
3. find a job that allows you a better standard of living.

4. share food resources with local friends or neighbors

This is not about pride, Sir, I just don't think it has gotten to the extent of looking for free and donated food when I haven't exhausted my credible options.i think you are right that I need to discuss it with him,however since I gave him the hint,and am his fiancee.just felt he ought to show concern, moreover he has a good job.was I also working too before I got here,so never demanded a thing from him.thanks

I wish you well and having high hopes.

This is not mainly about "food", am mainly complaining about his insensitivity to my needs.am just scared of commiting to a man in marriage,who would expect me to ask him for support when am having financial issues.like I don't have to say it in black and white, before he knows he ought to help right? Thanks appreciate

Conversely, maybe he's scared of you not taking responsibility and maintain some independence?

Sounds like you are looking for a reason to break up with him. Think on it. If you are no longer happy with the relationship and can say you've done your best to make it work, then end it and get on with your life.

Have you discussed this belief with him?

I've been trying to be quiet on this thread but I have to speak up and say that eating only one meal a day is not wise for your nutrition in terms of your metabolic needs; it is very unwise. That is not a matter of poverty (I have been poor off and on in my life) but one of understanding the body's needs.

Food doesn't have to be very expensive to be good for you.
Do you have any facilities at all to cook, or to learn to cook?
Even if not and that you might hate the idea of cooking, there are still are good choices that can be made about nutrition and money in grocery stores.

As far as your having a fiance that you expect to be there for you in (what? two years?), I have my doubts from what I've read so far, in that you two should be sharing more of your thoughts, and listen to each other, if you want to make it. It is hard enough for people who do share thoughts to be distanced that long.

I planned going home every semester break, hence my reason for been careful with my spending .especially in the area of feeding, cos that's the most expensive thing here.just pissed he is not Involved financially, it's like am the only one making all the effort.Thanks

It's the very first man in my life and God knows I adore him, however my senses are still in fact despite my feelings for him, I just believe when you say you love someone it shows in your actions , like you are unhappy when they are unhappy, and you feel bad when they are not comfortable, and you don't wish them any discomfort of any sort .so many people has advised me to tell him what I expect of him, but hey do I have to beg before he knows he has to assist me? THANKS

Have you discussed your beliefs about his financial responsibilities with him? what we think about it doesn't matter. What matters is what you both think and how you have discussed it.
