Tell him "I can't afford to keep buying all of this stuff for you. I like you and see a family with you too, but I can't afford to keep buying you all the stuff you ask me for. It's starting to feel like I'm a bank for you instead of a partner."

If he's serious about you, he should be receptive to how you feel here or have some sort of valid explanation as to why this happened. If he gets mad at you, think about this: why is he mad at you that you don't spend your own hard-earned money on him? Is this someone you really want to be with if this is how he looks at your money and opinions?

You need to talk to her and listen

Sounds life she was hanging out with her old friends. You sound incredibly jealous. I mean she tried talking to you about it while she was drunk and you freaked on her. You then doubled down again the next day.

Again you snooped through her phone instead of talking to her about it days later. What if you hadn't found anything?? And was it the first time you've snooped through her stuff because you felt suspicious?

You keep reacting irrationally. She has reason to be defensive and withhold telling you stuff if you're going to be volatile about it. And I doubt it's the first time you've been like this.

You need to communicate with her. And yeah she's going to be upset you went through her phone so please don't use it as excuse to make it okay because you think you found something. Trust runs both ways and there are issues on both sides.

She isn't going to change, I totally understand not wanting to be away from your child, but you will be wondering what she's really doing when she goes to the store, gas station, etc.... Without trust a relationship is done, I would walk away.

Unless you can live with her leading a double life... Some people can do it but I couldn't.

The biggest problem here is the lack of communication. If you want something real, you should have (and should) tell him exactly that. You said you started talking to the guy over social media, but what, are you just hoping for the best? That's not how relationships work. You need to use your words.

So now, he's told you exactly what he wants and what this is. That doesn't make him a bad person. He's being completely honest about what he wants. You said no to a movie and sex, but nothing else. It's like you're expecting that declining that will make him "wake up" and ask you out on a date and want a relationship.

You can only know where this is going if you ask. Stop guessing. Good luck.
