AIBU to think he should've offered to contribute?

[KinkyAfro]

My car is in the garage, it's going to cost around £500 at the moment which includes the MOT which just happens to be due. There might also be a further cost if any other work needs doing for the MOT. The car is in my name, I pay for it, the insurance for me and DP, tax, tyres etc., and i use it for work. At the weekends we go out together in this car and/or DP uses it if he's got errands to run. DP doesn't have any other vehicle costs, he has a works van and a fuel card. I've told him how much the repairs etc will cost and that it's going to be a frugal time until next pay day. He's very sympathetic but didn't offer to contribute...AIBU to think he might've offered?

Oh great Kinky
Just seen update-I was just posting to say I didn't think it was odd and probably an oversight and to ask him.
I do think his heart's in it good luck with the move

Thanks Feral

To the pp who asked how often he uses the car, it can be a few times during the week after work, running errands at weekends etc, going to meet his friends who are on the other side of town. Generally places where he can't take his massive van really

I don't think it's odd that you don't share finances. Your set up sounds very similar to mine and my DP. As for the people saying his hearts not in it...ignore.

Either he's lovely, or he's a MNer

But do make sure you're more formally agreed on money matters by the time you buy the new house to protect you both. Even more important if you have a baby.

DH and I don't share finances atm, as hassle to change everything, but when I say I am short he transfers money and if he drives my car always fills it up (I hate petrol stations, and have been twice in three years)

No kids and no plans to, I'm 43 now, that ship has sailed 😊

I wouldn't see an issue with it tbh. If putting him on the insurance was only £20 for the year and he fills up occasionally and never leaves it empty it wouldn't occur to me to ask for any money towards normal mot, servicing or running costs.
It's thoughtful that he offered you the money anyway though, nice update.

If you like your separate finances and how things currently run feels generally fair then good for you. Dh and I have been together 10 years and still have separate finances, doesn't mean our marriage is any less.

I'm glad it's sorted out Kinky
