To wish DP wouldn't keep on at me about owing him money?

[atomic1981]

We live seperately so finances are completely seperate. At the moment I am not working, he works full time. A few weeks ago he text me and asked me what size shoe I am, I told him so he text back saying "Ok, found some great walking boots for you, I'm buying you them". I thought "How sweet" until later he reminded me that I owed him the money for the boots.

He then asked me if I wanted to go and see two gigs. I agreed originally but it turns out I can't make the first one. He's already bought the tickets so I asked him to ask around and see if anyone else will go with him to save me paying for a ticket I can't use. He said he would but he's asked nobody and keeps reminding me that I owe him for the ticket.

And then he asked me IF i wanted to go and see a "big" band in November. I said yes but not to book the tickets until a) I had the money and b) I knew I could definately make it so he started nagging at me, saying they'd sell out etc I eventually caved and told him to buy the tickets so now I owe him £20 for that.

I'm sick of constantly owing him money, he doesn't seem to care that I'm struggling.

AIBU?

What with this and the other thread you started the other day, I'd have to say: why the fuck are you with this guy? He sounds like a twat.

I suppose the argument with the Michael Winner case, is that just because a woman's boyfriend is rich, he has no obligation legally or morally to support his girlfriend and her children financially. Especially if the relationship is casual. The state can't make random people responsible for other people's children.

Arguably though, the mother and father of the children should be available for work if they are claiming benefits (unless there are specific circumstances where they cannot work). That to me would mean not being on constant holidays.

I think we need another word instead of boy/girl friend to describe relationships where the couple are not committed as partners, but are not young. Describing MW as a boy anything seems wrong. That ship has sailed!
