So, after ups and downs and a lot of planning I am finally closing the distance in about a month or so. The planning has been difficult, especially trying to scrounge up money given his city is larger/more expensive than mine. The thing is, when I tell people I am moving and working a lot and saving up a lot of people ask me "Why doesn't he give you money/help with rent/find a place for you?" This really upsets and offends me! He has been helpful in giving me advice on places to live in the city, how to much things will cost and average (I've visited several times so I have an idea), has gone with me to apartment viewings and things like that, but I would never dream of asking him to help me out financially!
Am I wrong to feel people are rude for assuming he's a jerk or doesn't really care about me because he's not giving me money to help me move? Why do people assume he should foot the bill when I decided to move and chose the date for me? Has anyone ever said that to you and how did you handle it?
