Do you think a girl is worth letting go of your important possessions and things you love?

I am a 19 year old girl and I have a boyfriend who is 22, let’s call him Max. Max and I are a little different in our belongings and hobbies. I am pretty materialistic and I value my belongings so much. I have definitely saved up a lot of money over the years to get the things I have now and sometimes I don’t really want to share it with anyone or give it up or be around people who would take it. <br><br>Max is a more free spirited guy who loves to let go of materialistic things and let go of things he loves. I don’t understand it personally and sometimes feel like he doesn’t deserve my stuff or things I have worked for because I feel like he doesn’t value them as much. He’s also like this with his own things and sometimes feels like I should be more willing to let go of my stuff and give it to others or give it to him. He feels like if I gave up my most valuable stuff or just let more people hold it/use it that I would let go of so much stress and anxiety. I feel like he just wants to take my things though and I don’t like it at all.<br><br>An example from Sunday is that I was at his house and he was in the swimming pool. He was throwing his cracka laptop in the water and he was like “throw me your phone too” and I didn’t want to and he was like “just let it go” and I didn’t wanna give it to him. But then I got second thoughts and like 5 seconds later he was like “too late” and then the phone went in the water. It was a very expensive phone and I was very upset and he said it was my fault for being slow and he said “it’s just a phone it’s materialistic” and I don’t know if this is just an attack on me being materialistic or not. <br><br>Sometimes I like to have my phone or laptop or certain expensive important things with me wherever I go because I feel safer that way, but Max doesn’t like letting me carry it around and he likes to take it from me and put it away when we’re with him. I just feel really annoyed that he thinks he has the right to touch my things and throw them away or move them out of the way to make himself feel better and I don’t think that he is right at all, I think that he should value my materialistic things just as much as I do. I don’t think that he is willing to ever change and I don’t know if I should just let it go and be more willing to let him borrow my stuff and not be upset if he breaks it, or if I should just end things with him. What do you guys think?
