Is my boyfriend cheap?

Kate51283 · Jan 31, 2008, 03:03 PM

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?

Once again sorry for the missing letters...my laptop keyboard has an issue or three.

Like I said she has to come back to clarify because either way is assumption

Besides if she has to buy HER groceries and not his then to me that still shows that he is
being petty with money and still a business relationship than a relationship which is my main point.

And how is she going to grocery shop and split the his and her grocery thing?

Wow, could we get more off topic, and I thought I was the bad one

. I started the new post so that we could feel free to discuss this topic without basing it on this OP, I think the other post is going very well, no name calling no back stabbing (so far

)

I'm like the rest of you, I promised myself I wouldn't post anything further here but I can't help myself. Come on everyone, lets try to be nice to eachother, I know that we sometimes say things before thinking it through, I know I have, but let's let by-gones be by-gones and realize that we aren't going to agree on this because of our past experiences. We aren't therapists, we cannot answer these questions without emotion, really, let it go, the OP doesn't even care what we have to say. I wish all of you the best. Wear your friendship bracelets and start singing.
