I have been living with my boyfriend for almost a year. Every once in a while he doesn't do his own grocery shopping and eats my food. When I try to talk to him about it, he freaks out. He says he has been lazy?? He does buy other household supplies once in a while............He does have money. I am worried that he is using me. Need HELP!

If you two are living together, then I do not see why you should be buying separate grocery and house supplies.
Put aside an agreed amount (50/50) for house expenses each month. This way, neither of you has to have doubts as to what is going on.
Trust me, the fewer relationship issues you two have to deal with or fuss about, the better.

Excuse me... are you living with a boyfriend or a roommate? If you guys are living together as a couple - why do you have "your food" and "my food"? Either be a couple and work as a team - or go "roommate" all the way, split everything right down the middle, live in separate rooms. This is the weirdest thing I've ever heard.

Are you living together as a couple or as roommates? why do you have separate food? If you are living together as a couple you should both share in the finances of the household. Set up a budget with your expenses for rent, utilities, food, entertainment, etc and then decide how much each contributes to each. The it isn't "my food" and "his food" - it is your food together.
If you are living as roommates, you shouldn't be on here asking the question.

Do you know the implications of "living together as a couple"? You are talking about him eating your stuff ONCE A WHILE,not every day. If you can't handle this minor infractions, you really should live together.

Maybe he's just a guy that hates grocery shopping.
Tell him you'll make him a deal.
You'll do all the grocery shopping, then you guys settle on what each of you are going to contribute to the weekly grocery fund.

Eats your food? I thought you guys were a couple so it should be both of your food no matter who pays...but go with him to the supermarket and make sure he pays on occasion too...

Better look for someone else. If you have that "insecure" feeling it means something is not right, but... you already tried talking to him about it and got no where
