So when BF makes gestures to pay for things regarding my house or my kids... I get cranky because it DOES feel fuzzy to me. It isn't his job. I think it's nice and noble... but I don't want to be like my dad, kwis? It's one thing to accept help from my family (mother), but to accept it from BF, given the context of our R, doesn't seem or feel right to me.
I think you really put your finger on it when you quoted him as saying he thinks of you as his wife. But YOU never said, "I do."
