How do I begin a conversation with my b/f about him contributing more to the bills. He doesn't pay near enuff

Question

We have lived together for a year now and he doesnt come close to paying half of the basic bills. We get along great but this is one thing that bothers me. How do I initiate this conversation?

Answer 1

were the terms discussed initially? how r ur finacial situation, do u make similar amounts? if yes than just tell him thats is fare to contribute eaqually.
does he spend money else where, is it on ur or himself?

Answer 2

Have a sit down when you are NOT upset at the moment and make sure it's a quiet day, no distractions allowed. Then do what I did, give him some bills, totally for him to pay. When or if you lose a commodity then tell him he should have paid the bill.

Or better yet, put some bills in his name. Then he gets the bill collectors calling, not you in the event he doesnt' pay them on time.

Answer 3

What I would do is put all your bills on paper with the total amount then divide. Guys need to see everything in front of them. I did this with my ex every time he asked about money things. I could point out anything I needed to. It worked great. He could see very plainly what I was saying and why.

Answer 4

Start asking him for money or to fill up your vehicle with gas of course. And when he ask you what happened to all your money tell him. "Since I pay the majority of the bills I am strapped for money. So from now on we will start paying half of all bills right down to the penny." That worked for me during two relationships.

Answer 5

Give him the bills and tell him he needs to pay them. They aren't going to pay themselves and he don't need to be getting any funny ideas that you're going to pay all of them.

Answer 6

give him a kiss and then look by ur cute eyes to him
then talk to him and be sure he will accept whatever u say

Answer 7

Find some quiet time..sit him down at the table and have at it...He may get mad, but fair is fair....
