Boyfriend not paying his way? Aibu ?

[quiltcoverss]

Boyfriend moved in a month ago
He pays £300 towards rent and gas/electric etc
Now we have two dogs and dog out pet insurance
It's £15 per dog
This morning I've told him the pet insurance has came out
He has transferred £300 and not a extra £15 for the pet insurance
I told him how much it was
So does he expect the £15 to come out of the £300?

He's treated you to tickets.

You treated him to insurance and council tax.

You're paying for him to live under your roof and ocassionally buy you gifts. You need some self respect.

Also, OP - totally off topic - it can cause a lot of problems if you get two pups at the same time, especially if they are from the same litter and are the same sex, so keep a wary eye open for bad feeling between them when they get to puberty.

And unfortunately neutering won't necessarily solve any difficulties.

I've skipped a few posts but...

Work out your actual expenses.
Split them (possibly with adjustment for income)
And don't let it slip.

Treats don't count. Offer to pay your share.

@WhatATimeToBeAlive why would our dogs be rehomed?il have you know I've had dogs since I was a child,they aren't just dogs they are part of the family to me.
I've had 4 dogs who have all had a happy long life.
Regardless what happened with me and my partner the dogs are family now.
I would rather get rid of him than the dogs

There is hope for you yet. 😄

Seriously - you are right. I think people are speculating that if your relationship breaks up neither of you would be able to take the dogs, but there is no reason why you shouldn't kee them as a single person if it ever came to that.

There is not any reason why the dogs would need to be re-homed.

Split all joint expenses and living costs 50-50 or pro-rata to your income.

There's nothing to feel crap or awkward about.

Gifts don't count. Who sends screenshot of how much they paid for a gift, that's ridiculous.

Yeah, I'm with you there!

Did he want the dogs? He only moved in a month ago and now you have two dogs already. That's a big commitment. You don't even know yet what he's like to live with.

Yup. It just screams cynical manipulation of OP.

You'll be ok OP - keep the dogs & tell Mr Pandora to sling his hook.

Is he on the tenancy?

Yup. It just screams cynical manipulation of OP

agreed he bought the gifts so that you'll not ask for the money, it is highly manipulative.
