While she wouldn’t normally mind, she works longer hours than he does and she feels like this is all really not so fair.
She would look at this differently if he really was staying over on occasion, but since he’s moved in with her and living there completely free it’s a different story, and she wishes this had been discussed before they took this step in their relationship.
She knows she needs to just sit him down and talk about everything, but she has some hesitations.
“Like I said – he makes much more money than me, so he pays for more things than me,” she said.
“For example, he took me on a trip to Mexico a couple weeks ago and paid for everything and pays for most of our dates.”
“The difference to me though is that he is choosing to pay for these fun things to do and he can afford to do so, but the burden of the bills and cleaning/cooking was placed on me without me directly choosing to do so.”
Her boyfriend is completely aware of her situation from a financial standpoint, and he is aware that she is extremely stressed out about money, so that’s why she’s shocked he’s gone months without even offering once to help her out with the bills.
She isn’t sure if he’s simply out of touch because he’s so wealthy, or if he’s really taking advantage of her.
As for the money he’s saving by living with her rent and expense-free, it’s all peanuts to him, so that also makes her wonder about it all.
She really has no idea how to bring this up to her boyfriend and she is concerned he’ll take it the wrong way and think she’s being tit for tat.
How would you feel in this situation?
