Ok my boyfriend takes my cell phone to work with him 5 days a week from 7 to 4. And my cell phone bill was really high. I asked him if he could help me pay a little of it and he said no its my phone so i took it away from him and his mom and sisters called yelling at me saying im mean and selfish. Am I wrong?

Your boyfriend needs his own phone.
And you need a new boyfriend, one who's NOT selfish or inconsiderate, but would be glad to take care of the bill, that his wonderful girl let him have the priviledge of using, since he behind did not have his OWN phone...
P.S. Tell his mama to BUY her SON a phone, if she's so concerned, you seem like a nice girl that ppl might like to walk on, don't stand for it.

Absolutely! But only if you continue a relationship with him and his equally mooching family. If it isn't possible, for some reason, to leave the relationship immediately, suggest he get his own phone. That way there won't be any arguments about who owes what for who's phone. Believe me, this is the kind of guy who would have no qualms about telling you he's at work everyday so he can carry on an affair while you finance it. Are you sure he works? Why doesn't he have any money to pay bills?

This should be a red flag for you. You are now learning of the type of people you are dealing with. You do something nice by allowing him to use the phone and he takes advantage of you. Most real gentlemen would have offered up front to help out with the large bill he helped create. Then like a little boy, he ran to his momma. Think about that, every problem he has or you both have as a couple will be told to his mom and sisters. He sounds too immature to be in a serious relationship. Personally I can't believe he would allow his family to interfer with your business. Really consider what life will be like with all of them prying in on YOUR relationship, especially with him promoting it. Good Luck & God Bless!

You are absolutely NOT wrong. It's your phone. You pay the bill. You should be the one to use it and control it. You're doing something nice by letting him borrow it, and he's not being grateful. He's being immature and inconsiderate not to mention a bit untrustworthy. He needs to step up and pay for the time he used. As for his mom and sisters, do they understand the situation? Do they understand it's your phone? Next time they call, politely explain that you simply cannot afford all the extra minutes on your phone unless he chips in for the time he uses. Tell them you're happy to pass along messages until things financially improve.
If you get a poor response from them on this, then unfortunately you know the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree and perhaps you should look for someone with a better sense of how to treat a partner.

Excuse me - you loan him the phone, he runs up a bill during the timeframe that he has the phone and you are mean for asking for payment on the bill.
If this man old enough to work, he is old enough to get his own cell phone ...... get a pay as you go if nothing else dude!
Pull those bills out and make copies for him/them....they show the time of call, amount of time of call, charge for the call.
During his work timeframe, he should pay it or never be granted the favor again.
You need to learn about him from this circumstance.
Big message here!

I really don't think so. Why is he taking your phone, especially when he's not contributing to the bill? And what the heck is wrong with his Mom and sisters? I think they should step back and look who is really the selfish and mean one(s) ...it sure isn't you! That is your property and you have a right to do whatever you want with it.

Wait a minute here..... wait....just............ one minute.
Everybody is saying you are not wrong.
I take the position that there are two sides to this story. From the way you have written it you are not wrong in asking for money.
But in this story there is more to it - he is doing something for your benefit - may be? - he is looking after some of your financial affairs or is he doing something where you are involved entirely? He is helping you in anyway, is he by making all these calls? You were seeking his help to start with? Then, he is right in asking for you to pay.
No one is that stupid to say I used your property, I ran up the bill but you pay for it. I somehow can't believe this story. If this is true, then your b/f is downright daft.
Until his side is also heard I cannot say either you are right or wrong.
So there..............

No you are completely right to take it away. He can get his own phone. He is pretty cheap to make you pay the entire bill when he ran up the minutes. You may need to get rid of him and keep the phone!

Keep the cell phone - dump the boy friend. His whole family is selfish.
