AIBU not cooking for him

I have been with my partner for a couple of years and have a teenage son from a previous relationship. I do not live with my partner but we see each other most days. The cost of food these days is not cheap and I have to maintain my house and son on a reasonable budget.

I tend to buy enough food for just me and my son with a few extras. My partner says I should cook an evening meal for him to ensure he eats a healthy diet. I found this astonishing. Whilst I offer him a plate when there are leftovers, I simply cannot afford to buy additional food. My 15 year old son eats me out of house and Home.

I asked if he would like to contribute financially to the shopping budget to enable me to cook extras but I don’t think he was keen.

Am I being u reasonable not to cook him a daily meal?!

Tell him to cook his own meal, he is being a CF

Does he turn hip empty handed at meal times expecting to be fed?

Not only would you not be unreasonable not cooking for him, you'd be quite reasonable to ditch him altogether. He's a selfish, entitled twat who thinks your place in life is to fetch and carry for him. God help you if you do ever progress to living together.
