How to ask for board?

I mentioned it a few of weeks ago about him contributing and he said ‘of course he would’ once he’s moved in and he asked how much. I said to him a couple of hundred would be fine (I deal with the family budget, all the bills come out of my bank/I do the all food shopping etc). He’s been living here for over a month and he’s not offered anything.

He’s offered to get sky and he buys food and cooks one night.

Aibu that he should have paid up by now and not having to be asked again.

With the sky it’s completely for his needs as we’re all happy with normal tv/Netflix and we’ve got a smart tv for catch up.

Who has moved in - your partner? If so he should be contributing to rent, food, utilities etc. Figure out his share and ask for it - you say you are paying the bills and his share is X and your banks details are etc etc.

Present him with the details of all the household bills including house insurance, heating costs, broadband, rent/mortgage, council tax etc and tell him he has to set up a standing order to reach your account by x date each month. Give him your bank details and stand waiting while he goes online to sort this out. Don't sell yourself short either - make sure he is paying a fair share. If you cannot openly discuss this then he shouldn't have moved in.

@Drum2018

I wrote a huge paragraph explaining the back story but deleted it as i didn’t think it was needed - guess I should have included that paragraph.
