To think he is a bit cheeky or is this ok for you?

Partner of 18 months asked me to borrow £150 for a week ,as he got his pay date wrong.
I'm a little Confused. He's never asked to borrow from me before. A man of 45, good job but a lot of outgoings in rent/ maintenance/ travel. He has had some Unexpected expenses this month I guess.
AIBU to think he's a bit cheeky?

@Saoirse82

Mumsnet is such a weird place at times. How is asking your long term partner to lend you a small amount of cash 'cheeky'? Sounds like its a one off due to a difficult month. And everyone must have savings or LTB! I find it all very odd Confused
Since when was 18 months considered a long-term partnership? 18 years, sure.

I also love the idea that everyone on MN has both savings and a financial cushion. It's strange because pretty much everyone I know has only got savings from an inheritance. Otherwise they all live from pay check to pay check - one emergency away from completely broke !

Yes of course I would lend . I'm in the same situation. DD3 started Uni this week. Cost a fortune to get her set up !

Not cheeky at all. Hard times happen. I think your response is more odd than his request.
