Throwaway for privacy. My boyfriend (30M) and I (25F) have been together for 7 years and we live together and have a young child. He works full time and I work part time because I’m in college full time. He makes a lot more money than I do because 1. He gets paid more and 2. He works a lot more hours than me. He only pays our rent and I pay the rest of our bills. I spend every single penny I make on bills and necessities, and don’t have any money left for myself or to save. I own and pay for both of our cars, utilities, credit cards, etc.
He insists that it’s fair that he pays rent and I pay the rest of the bills, even though he makes a lot more money than I do. I should also mention that what I pay in bills every month is a lot more than our rent and he complains or tells me to work more hours when I ask him to contribute or help me financially. He still has at least a thousand dollars leftover to save and spend after paying his share while I have nothing. I told him I won’t pay these bills alone anymore because frankly I can’t afford to and he got really mad at me. He told me all I care about is money. I’ve explained the situation to multiple people and some think I’m an AH, and others think he should help me more. AITA?
TLDR ; I told my boyfriend I won’t pay our bills alone anymore because I can’t afford to and he makes more money than me and won’t contribute. He got mad at me and said that all I care about is money.
