I’ve been with my s/o for 9 months and our relationship is great. I’ve lived at home off and on for the last 3 years. I got an apartment 4 months ago. He still technically lives at home but he’s with me every night. Having him there costs me an extra $200 a month that I really don’t have. Money has been tight lately and it’s left me very irritable.
Last night I mentioned that I don’t have much money. He asked me why, in a tone that was suggesting I was blowing money or something. I just snapped! I told him that this isn’t fair and it pissed me off when he asked why I don’t have any money. I told him he has no idea what it costs to be independent and take care of yourself. It’s really hard. I said I want a partner, not another person to take care of. I also said that it pisses me off that I have to work 40 hours, go to school 12 hours, and stress about money when life is bliss for him. He’s only working 10 hours and goes to school for 9. Even his parents have said something to him.
He’s not a bad guy. He’s just lazy. Will I have to push him forever? Was I wrong to say anything?
He pays when we go out to eat, which is rarely. He does clean my apartment a lot. If he’s going to be there everyday then I think we should make it official and split the bills.
