She Just Dumped Her Boyfriend After He Became Financially Dependent On Her Even Though He Makes More Money
Being in a relationship with someone who doesn’t make the wisest financial decisions is challenging and exhausting.
One woman recently made the decision to leave her boyfriend after he became financially dependent on her even though he works a better job than her.
She’s 21 and was with her 24-year-old boyfriend for over a year. They moved in together six months ago, and the first few months were great. They were splitting their bills and rent equally, but she’d been paying for everything for the last two months.
Her boyfriend started struggling financially, which was surprising, considering he works a full-time job and makes more than she does as a student with a part-time job.
“The reason behind his financial struggles and his debt is because he got his car taken away for not paying rego and driving with an expired license,” she explained.
“His logical response was to gamble all of his savings away in an attempt to make more money to get his car back.”
Her boyfriend’s family gave him some money to get his car back, but he somehow spent all of that as well.
Since losing his car, her boyfriend has gotten paid twice but didn’t put any of it toward their bills. When she asked him what happened to the money, he said he had to help out his family or spent it all paying for other things he needed.
Despite it all, she continued to try and help her boyfriend. She applied for a loan to get his car back because he couldn’t qualify for one.

All she’s been met with is negativity and aggression from her boyfriend, who gets annoyed at her for not having the money he needs right away.
“I truly do love him, but it’s also taking a huge toll on me as I am struggling myself, and I don’t have the means to support a grown man who should be capable of taking care of himself,” she said.
“I’m doing the best I can to cover up his mess, but he’s not even appreciative.”
After reflecting on the situation, she decided she needed to leave her boyfriend and let him handle his own mess. When she did, he tried to make her feel guilty for leaving him at his lowest.
Should she feel bad for ending things with her dependent boyfriend, or was it for the best?
