I (21M) recently broke my foot in a dumb accident Since my insurance isn’t great, the medical bill was way more than I expected. I had to drain my savings just to cover it, which left me short on rent this month.

My girlfriend (23F) comes from a well-off family. She’s never had to worry about money, though she’s not spoiled or anything. When she found out I was struggling to make rent, she immediately offered to cover it. I told her no.

She kept insisting, saying it wasn’t a big deal for her and that she wanted to help. But for me, it is a big deal. I don’t want to feel like I owe her something, and I don’t want our relationship to turn into something where she’s bailing me out financially. I take pride in handling my own responsibilities, even if it’s hard.

We got into a small argument where she said I was being “stubborn for no reason” and making life harder for myself. I told her I appreciated the offer but wasn’t comfortable taking money from her. Now she’s upset, saying I don’t trust her and that I’m letting my pride come before our relationship.

AITA for refusing her help with rent?
