[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boyfriend badly insulted me and tried to play it off as a joke. He is in the process of house hunting. I will be moving in and we will be splitting costs. He really liked one place but crossed it off of his list. When I asked why, he told me I can’t afford it. This isn’t the first time he has put my job down. I feel very hurt. He is now claiming it’s a joke and he crossed it off the list for other reasons. I am seriously considering ending my relationship. [/quote]

He is saying it’s a joke *because* you were offended by his stating the facts, so now he has to pretend not to live in reality to spare your hurt feelings. He didn’t “put you down” or ridicule you are make fun of you or scoff at you. He simply informed you that the house was not affordable to you if you are expected to pay half of the rent. Sounds to me
like he is being mindful and conscientious. And you simply don’t like that he makes more money than you. And you especially don’t like being reminded of that—but you did ASK, OP. 
It sounds like you wanted him to lie.
When he told the truth, you chose to be offended and characterize it as a put-down.
You are a grown woman. Do you not know what you can afford?[/quote]
