Am I expecting too much

Boyfriend of nearly a year has a good job , plenty of disposable income and a great lifestyle . I have a shit job, no money left over after rent and bills and a poor lifestyle. I just about get by. We meet twice a week , his decision as he has a very full and busy social life . I don’t. He doesn’t work in the summer and has lots of holidays going on. He will go on his third holiday at the weekend. All with his friends or family members . He has never invited me nor has he suggested we save or plan to do something In the future . He simply acknowledges that I have no disposable income so won’t be doing anything that costs a bit of money . He does take me on family weekends away for occasions eg christening, reunion, wedding etc in that he pays for accommodation which is normally split between ten people . He buys the odd dinner, lunch, cinema ticket etc but when it comes to concerts, travel, festivals, he goes away with friends. Are my expectations too high that he might invite me along. He has the money and knows I would love to join .both early 30’s

@Aria999 I've read the other thread to and it seems to be OP posting as her boyfriend. I suppose it's a way to perspective.

@Greenplasticchairs A knight on a white horse won't save you. I really few for you, you have had some great advice on this thread that you can progress with.

@CatInADoghouse how odd OP hasnt been back since you posted about the similarities.

Either op hates women and/MN is hoping to be able to prove we expect to put no effort into earning our own money.

Or was hoping for different responses by posting from another point of view.

Either way, pretty sad.

Hello and
Thanks for responses. I’ve digested all responses and see that I was expecting too much. I’ve since been researching some
Courses and jobs in the NHS and feel good about that. Those who decided that I was another poster were wrong but rather than advise , I suspect you prefer to spend your time picking holes in mine and others posters posts . Thanks for all the input .im feeling positive and looking forward to the future .
