If you've had rows about this before then why do you still do it??
Its your bill you pay it!!
Tell him you like talking and as long as your paying for your calls its not really his problem...
however if its him that's footing the bills you need to stop!!
Good luck

If the bill has been huge and you already have had a few problems in the relationship about the matter, why aren't you doing a better job and controlling your impulses to talk on the phone? Is this a cellphone bill or land line? I suggest you stop initiating the calls, and use it during the non-peak hours etc. Another suggestion would be to increase your anytime minutes if this is within your budgets. If he can't trust you to keep the phonebill to a minimum after you all have discussed that it is a problem, then I believe you are communicating with the wrong people and need to pay attention to what he requests, or you may be SEEING more of your phone pals than talking to them, and maybe lose the trust in the relationship, and if you have been contemplating marriage, he may change his mind. You both have to be on the same page.

You need to tell him but before you do that have a little "escape plan" in your head - like how you will contribute to the phone bill to look like you are taking responsibility for at least some of it. Think of a way you will be able to make some money to put towards it (like doing a few hours overtime a day or a week, or seling something you don't use or just cutting back on other spending for a while) - and then tell him. It'll go down a lot better than just coming out with it.

If the bill has been huge and also you've were given already were given had some topics interior the relationship with connection with the priority, why at the on the spot are not you doing a much better useful pastime and controlling your impulses to communicate on the phone? is this a cellular telephone bill or land line? i suggestions you grant up beginning the calls, and use it for the era of the non-top hours etc. yet another advice may be to augment your each and every time minutes if it is interior your budgets. If he received't be able to believe you to maintain the phonebill to a minimum once you all have stated that it is a concern, then i have were given faith you're speaking with the incorrect people and would prefer to pay pastime on what he requests, or you're SEEING more desirable of your telephone pals than talking to them, and in all likelihood lose the believe interior the relationship, and once you've been pondering marriage, he may replace his ideas. You both may prefer to be on the similar website.

why dont you try changing your plan to unlimited minutes or to the plan where you can put your 5 favorite people and it would be unlimited. That would definitely help and not make the phone bills so high. Thats what I have because my fiance travels alot for business. But if it isnt a cellphone, its a house phone try digital phone by your local cable company if it avaliable only if your b/f is long distance from your place. I have that too, its pretty cool. Call anywhere in the U.S. and only pay a certain amount for it...no 5 cents a minute type of thing.
goodluck.

To be honest I think you are a very selfish little girl who should try growing up and realising that it's hard to earn money today. If you keep taking liberties with this chap, be prepared to have your cases packed one day when you get in, and personally I would'nt blame him. Put the boot on the other foot, how would you feel if you were the one who kept having to pay his phone bill that he'd run up talking a load of rubbish every day? Your not being fair, just taking the p... out of his generosity.

Well if you plan to pay for it as it was mainly your bill, it should be okay.
I don't blame your boyfriend to be upset, because if you are on the talking all the time. Then what kind of relationship and communication are you giving him? He maybe upset because he wants to spend more time with you.
Spend time talking to him and building on your relationship, other than chatting on the phone all the time - its cheaper!

Tell him straight. The longer you leave it the worse it will be. It will at least give him time to work out how he is going to pay it. How can you do this to him. You knew what you where doing, and you knew the cost. You need to eat big humble pie. My father and mother split up over my mothers reckless waste of money. It could happen to you if you don't stop.

Tell him you are going to switch to Talk Talk, you pay £9.99 per month for unlimited calls, even to Europe! Make him a special meal, dress sexy, then tell him, he won't be mad for long! GRIN!
