Is my boyfriend cheap?

I moved in with my boyfriend about 7 months ago. He owns the house we live in and I agreed to help out with the bills when I moved in. He originally wanted me to pay for half of every bill but I just cannot afford this. I make 30,000 a year and he makes 95,000! I am currently paying over 1/3 of what the bills are but I also have students loans/car payment/insurance/credit cards etc. By the time I am done paying bills for the month and buying some groceries i have about $50 left to my name. I tell him I just cannot afford to keep paying him this much and he always has his hand out for money. He also hates going out bc he does not want to pay for anything but when he does pay for something for me, he likes to constantly remind me that he paid for that time we went out. Also, for Christmas he will only spend as much on me as what i can afford to buy for him. He claims he never has any money but whenever he wants something he buys it and is currently looking at buy a $55,000 car while I am struggling to get by. Am I greedy or is he really just cheap?

I will give a little advice to make you seem sophisticated and smart when you are in discussion, never personal attack the individual you are debating with, if you disagree, disagree. if you don't like it, keep your cool, people disagree all the time because personal attacks shows weakness and it has nothing to do with the topic.
You can say I am crazy feminist or any thing has to do with the topic but that? is just childish


Not to beat a dead horse, but here is a little advice to help you seem sophisticated and smart when you are in a discussion; "If the discussion board is in English...LEARN HOW TO SPEAK IT BEFORE YOU GO SPOUTING OFF." I am pretty sure what everyone is getting at with their comments towards you is that they can't make heads or tails of the gibberish word vomit you are putting in your posts. Top to bottom, left to right, group words together as sentences. :-) Work on it and I am sure you will have better luck next time.

God, why are you so mad? I speak English fine first, and second, do you know what www means? it world wide web s, it is not only for English spoken people and am sure you understand my points but you chose to be like Truefaith go on to attack personally, be sensible. We were talking about an issue and because I am disagreeing with you, you say that? God, how childish and poor way to respond, you can say whatever you want about me, you are just proving how childish you are.

Nadia...I was trying to help you out by explaining why everyone had a tough time with your responses and you are in the RED right now. If you TYPE English so well, then maybe you should proof read? Most of your posts on this topic have NOT ONE complete sentence or thought. I am not ATTACKING you I was trying to help you understand SO YOU DIDN'T HAVE A REPEAT OF THIS ON ANOTHER POST! I am not angry at all, if you read my posts almost everyone is light hearted. I can comprehend that this is the WORLD WIDE WEB. I wasn't arguing that point. I don't go onto Spanish wedsites though and try to convery my thoughts on serious matters just because I can speak the language. You just need to roll your words and thoughts into complete thoughts that don't make you look like a mindless ninny. When you don't type complete thoughts it is very tough to decipher your "tone" in the post and often times leads to misunderstandings.

Sorry for trying to help you. Bitter, bitter, bitter, person!

Don't be so defensive!

Comments on this post
TrueFaith agrees: agreed :D
bizygurl agrees: I got the general idea of what she was trying to say, mostly. On the subject of "personal attacks"..saying "all the men on here should try to be gay"because they didn't agree with you,IS a personal attack.Dont complain then turn around and do it 2.

Bitter about what? if you did n't understand what I said you wouldn't have responded at all, a lot of people on the post understood what I said.
I don't have to use big words to talk about topics, and don't try to change your tone, first was attack (beating a dead horse, mindless ninny) you're funny, and now sarcastic.
Well, you can be sarcastic all you want, I don't care it just shows the level of your mentality and how very simpleton you are, when someone disagree with you, you attack personally, and I won't even dignify to respond to your following attack or sarcasm.
Have a nice weekend

I'm on the other end of the same situation. I think contribution to dates, bills, etc. should come from both ends of the relationship.

How could I have been so blind? NOTE-- This was to be read as pure sarcasm
Well, before we spout too much sarcasm, let me put it this way ; her $50 leftover at the end of the month is more than what I have left over for myself at the end of the month. And I make almost as much as the boyfriend who is the subject of the original post. Of course, I'm supporting a wife and children. If I was single and making what I'm making I'd be living high off the hog too! As it is, I'm content if I have enough gas in my car to get me to and from work for the week and a few beers in the refrigerator. That's about all I can realistically hope for after the bills are paid. I'm sorry, but I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for the original poster. As has been suggested in other posts, I think she's young and naive and is just now learning about life in the real world and doesn't seem to like it too much. Again, that's just my take on it. I also reiterate the point that she doesn't have to be in this position if she doesn't want to. With an income of $30,000 (which is more than I ever made when I was single), she could live with her parents, pay them $200/month room and board and have plenty of money left over to do whatever she wants with it. If she doesn't want to live at home she could rent a one-bedroom efficiency for around $600/month and still have a lot more than $50/month to spend however she pleases. And she wouldn't even have to answer to anyone as to how she spends her money.

Comments on this post
wewed100606 agrees: Right on! I honestly think the issue is one of naivity by the poster to the responsibilities of life. Not saying she is unlike anyother 20 something out of college, but it isn't anyone elses fault but her own.

nadia999, I know this has nothing to do with the topic at hand. But you are also guilty of "personal attacks." Or at least "a" personal attack. Its easy to do when you disagree with someone and feel strongly on a matter. So Im not faulting you for that.

BUT to say the men on this thread ,that happen not to agree with you, "they should try to be gay" and to call them "cheap" is a personal attack. Is it your opinion, absolutely! And again im not saying you cant say or feel how you want to.

We are all guilty of slinging stones at eachother, but Dont sling stones and then act hurt or surpized when someone slings them back. Again, just my feeling on it and only my opinion.
