I have never been known to ask for money and infact I am consider myself very a giver and love to help. my boyfriend always pays when we go out he is a wonderful man, however why wont he offer help me financially when he has to know how i am struggling? Are there men out there that are afraid of helping woman financially key word HELP not support, without us woman having to ask? Please advise

I don't think he means to do it. Men aren't that good at seeing when they're needed. We want to be needed, but we can't see when we are actually needed. Don't worry about your pride right now.

There will be some men who would readily give money, even if not asked. There are some men who are utterly ruthless and wouldn't give a penny, even if you were on your knees begging. Then there are the men in the middle, who need to be asked.
He knows you're struggling, but if you haven't asked, he may well assume that you're just getting by. Maybe try talking to him again, and see if he will help you. If he does, all well and good. If not, then maybe he cares more about money than you.
