Her Boyfriend Basically Lives At Her House But He Does Not Want To Pay Any Rent
This twenty-four-year-old woman has been dating her boyfriend for about five months now.
Her boyfriend is a professional basketball player who typically plays overseas for about nine months each year and lives with his parents for the remaining three months here in the United States.
But this year, he decided to no longer play overseas and instead try his hand at making the NBA. This also means that since he has not “technically” signed a contract yet, he does not have an “active income.”
“However, he does have about seventy thousand dollars in the bank from his last season, twenty thousand dollars in stocks, and doesn’t pay rent to his parents,” she explained.
“I should also add that his family is very wealthy, and I think they give him money or pay for his coaches.”
She, on the other hand, has recently gone through two pretty tough situations. First, she sadly lost her brother. And afterward, she had to get an abortion.
And throughout that time, her boyfriend would stay at her apartment to be there for moral support. Plus, since his parent’s house is over an hour away from her apartment, he would stay at her place for a good amount of time– like five days at once– before going back to his house.
Time has since passed, though, and she is no longer in need of such constant support from her boyfriend. Moreover, she is now in school and working.
Nonetheless, her boyfriend does not want to go back to his parent’s house simply because he enjoys being at her apartment more.

And when he is there, he does buy groceries from time to time, cooks dinner, and pays for any date nights or outings. Still, though, she is starting to think that his contributions are not enough.
She is currently in graduate school and has about $58,000 out in loans right now. And ever since he has been staying at her apartment, she noticed that the electricity bill went through the roof.
But, after she brought it up to him and asked him to chip in, he kind of complained about it before reluctantly handing over some cash.
“And he doesn’t think he needs to pay for rent because he doesn’t have an ‘active income’ and because he technically lives at his parent’s house– even though he goes there maybe once a month,” she added.
So now, she is stuck in a pretty awkward situation. She realizes that her boyfriend chipping in for that one electricity bill is not enough to offset all of his living expenses at her apartment.
Nonetheless, she is not sure if it would be rude to ask him to actually pay rent every month.
What would you do in her situation? Do you think her boyfriend not wanting to pay rent is a red flag?
