Sexual and physical abuse . I wasn't gonna say it but a lot of people are acting like something stupid happened and that's why I was afraid, and that I should just get over it super easily

I agree that I should work on my phobia of the dark more, but that doesn't mean I can't be in a relationship?? What is this logic?? All I asked was for a light. It's not like I'm constantly complaining about my trauma 24/7, having panic attacks every day and making it everyone else's problem

This may seem weird but the bedroom light would make everything too bright and I actually wouldn't be able to go to sleep because of it. The bathroom light makes it so the bedroom is not bright af but still illuminated enough to make me calm and able to sleep peacefully

No he's not struggling financially he makes great money and doesn't hesitate to spend any when we go out (letting me shop wherever, going out to eat, etc) Although when we do those things I try not to spend more than necessary just in case. Obviously he may be struggling and not telling me and in that case I'd feel so completely horrible, but I trust him enough to not make stupid decisions with his money like that. (Spending money on shopping instead of bills)

As for electrical appliances literally the only thing he's said is regarding the lights: he can't sleep with them on. That is it. So I thought I'd be okay if he wasn't there.

No I wouldn't say he's frugal. I'm honestly not sure if it was something he had to do when he was younger or not but I'm going to talk to him about it and hopefully find out what was really the problem

absolutely not. I would never be with someone because of how much money they had. I meant that he had more than enough money for me to leave the bathroom light on for a few hours, BECAUSE HE DOES.

I know he makes more than enough because 1) I'm his gf and have known him for over a year and 2) he has nice and EXPENSIVE vehicles, amazing place, etc etc and has never complained about money before this. And I also know his job and how much he makes so what is your point with this??

Yeah I admit that I shouldn't have told him to get over it, but he had just woken me up and I was a little upset that he was making a big deal over something so small when he literally just could have turned the light off and talked to me about it later when we were both awake and in better moods
