You are a senior already. Is getting a 1 year student loan that big of a problem? If the logic for him to prove his love is to pay for your tuition, I think it make more sense for you to prove your love to him by taking 1 year student loan and graduate.

OP, I wouldn't read anything into his failure to offer to help you. other than that he believes you should solve your own problems. Check out Rotary for college scholarships--maybe your home town chapters. If worse comes to worst, maybe you could drop back and go to school half-time, since you can only afford 1/2 the credits, and finish 1 semester late.

Of course it is: you get what you give.

What are the alternatives to this?

Just becuase you can doesn't mean you should. There s more to consider here than just how much money is floating around.

I can't answer the love question, I'm not him.
I can at the very most say he doesn't love you the way you feel he should.

Giving without expectation.

Commitment is a transaction. Love is not.

And lots of people never get back what they give in a relationship.

It really depends on the person. I would leave him. I mean, your education is and must be your priority right now and if he is not willing to help then move out. Does he know that? IF he does not help you, that you are likely to move out of state?

Your BF is not my type of guy. MY husband has proven to me that he is willing to support me. In fact I feel I am retired. I just work when I want to. When we were dating. He bought me 4 new tires coz he said he saw my tires are bald. And I did not even mention that to him. He just offered out of the blue. That was only within a month of dating.

There are times he biatches about our situation but i just ignore coz I know hours later we are back to normal.

He loves you, OP, maybe, just not like 'that'. You know that song, I would do anything for love, but I won't do that - meaning help you financially.

He knows you may have to move in order to finish school and he knows why.
If he hasn't volunteered to loan you the money so that isn't necessary, he's either confident your relationship can weather the separation or he's not to concerned about ending it.
Only you, not any of us, can tell which it is.
Don't mention it again and just do what you have to do.

As a senior, how much more tuition do you have left to pay? When is this sports program ending?

Have you spoken to him about the possibility that you may have to move out of state?

If not I think his opinion one way or the other will tell you quite a lot

I know it's not easy - but focus on finishing your education.
If you have to move, you have to move.
Don't let whether or not he loves you cloud your judgment.
You have some big decisions to make - focus on your education.
