Right now, they are living in a home her boyfriend bought since he has more money than she does. However, they split all their household expenses down the middle, and she keeps a running tab of what they both pay for.
A while ago, she borrowed money from her boyfriend to pay off one of her credit cards, and she still owes him $1,400, as she paid him back $3,000.
Last night, she told her boyfriend that she doesn’t think she should have to pay him back the $1,400 she owes him since she does everything around their house.
He wasn’t happy about that, even though she stated that if she charged him to cut his hair every month for the last 3 years, it would come out to $1,400.
“He proceeded to tell me [that] he couldn’t afford a maid and tried to get a quote online for one to disprove the value I was saying I bring with everything I do,” she added.
“…I feel that the value I have contributed surpasses anything I owe him. I think it hurts me a lot because I feel like we’re family at this point and should help take care of each other.”
“I feel like he looks at me purely from a transactional viewpoint and that nothing I do means anything to him. He’s extremely black and white; to him, I borrowed it, so, therefore, I owe it, and that’s it.”
She’s left wondering if it’s wrong of her to expect him to let the money she owes slide. What do you think?
