I pay for my boyfriend all the time?

Question

I earn good money, am quite ambitious and did well at uni. My boyfriend also did well at uni, but he did art. He is 7 yars older than me, I am only 23.
I pay for eveything for him, shopping, cover a fair amount of his ent, train tickets, travel, holidays, food.
I am strugglin with money now and it is a massive problem.
He has no concept of mony, it does not bother him, he is not stressed by it. His parents give him money also.
He does have a job but artists virtually earn zero.
I do love him, more than anyone, ever, but I am wondering if the practical side of money means that we are doomed.
I have lost a lot of confidence I think, I am always a stresshead about money nowadays and it's not a cool look for me. I have increasingly become paranoid about his ex-girlfriends and how they seemed more care-free and I just seem like a nag about money :-(

************BEST ANSWER HERE*************
The problem with this guy is what you mentioned - "His parents give him money also."
That means, he's never had REAL responsibility of his own - he's used his parents as a crutch when he's had financial difficulty.
The problem will continue, sadly, because both of you are mature in different ways.
He - his age. You - life experiences. Men develop maturity later in life - around late 20s, early 30s.
Maybe the relationship has served it's purpose, but it's definitely not where you want to be right now. I think having a talk with him and letting him know that it's time to move forward and end it.
Financial struggles are one thing, but add in his ex's and it enhances the insecurity - because who knows? Maybe he's using your money on them!

You love him, but he may not be your life partner. He's served his role in your life already. Time to bounce..........
