Because I'm starting to wonder why he doesn't pay my bills when I'm broke (college student), but he can spend his pay checks on video games.
*Although he fails to realize I will soon be the bread winner, and he'll want to borrow $ some day.

Or is it the sort of thing where, if you earn X amount.. X amount is yours and yours only.

yes he is being very stupid. You should look into another relationship he is probably not serious about the one he has now. You finances shouldnt be an issue if you love someone.

I like Suze Orman's take:
You total up the income and then determine the percentage of the total income each person earns. In my house, I bring home 2/3 and he brings home 1/3.
So, we divide the bills the same way. I pay 2/3 and he pays 1/3 of the rent, the bills, the groceries, etc. After I pay my 2/3 of the bills, I can use the rest of my money as I please.
If one of us makes more or less money, the percentage of what we make and what wew pay will change.
If you bring home 10% as a college student and he brings home 90%, he should pay 90% of the bills. When you eventually make more than him, you'll pay a greater percentage of the bills.
I think this is the fairest way.

Only if it is a marriage. If he really cares about you he would automatically assist with your needs. It does not sound as though he is very mature if he can only think of spending money on video games. you my need to take a deep look into your relationship. You may not have the right partner.

Do you want us to really tell you the answer? No, you don't, you already know. If it makes you feel any better we probably all feel sorry for you though and wish you luck and that it works out.
Edit: No, I'm sorry, this would only be if you're married to him or engaged, of course. If you are just dating then I would say you should be independent with your finances, if not you're a Judge Judy case in the making.

I believe in a relationship that everything is to shared 50-50. My husband thought that since he was the one working, than it was his $. Finally he saw the bills stacking up and realized that it is our $. So, yes I believe that it should be shared.

if you are in relationship with someone he should share his money with you because he is apart of your life. if he don't want to help you when you are in need he should go because he have the time to play games with his money and your bills are going up and it is an investment for the both you late.

When two people share a life together they share everything
from body, life,money. That is what makes a relationship a good one.If you don't share everything it isn't going to work'

Of course not! Ideally, you should be able to stand alone financially unless you'd like a one sided relationship....

i feel that if you are in need of money, then he should atleast offer to help and vice versa. but i dont think that money should be shared until you two are married, because then you two become one and share everything.
