How do I tell my bf of 5 years that I want to continue saving for our home, but I want a life too? Everytime I want to do something (e.g. go away for a long weekend) he says we can't afford it... I am so young and I feel like I have no life. We have been on a few holidays, but none of them have lasted more than about 5 days, and I have basically had to beg and plead to get him to go. I know he is only trying to do what is best for us, and I KNOW how important saving is, I have always been a saver, but I feel like the best years of my life are slipping by and I am missing out on so much. He lived his life to the absolute fullest when he was in his 20's (he's in his 40's now), and now he has run out of time and needs to save save save, and I feel like I am being held back.
I feel as if he isn't willing to compromise I will have to end it, but I don't want to. How do I handle this? I don't want to end a wonderful relationship over money
