Is it normal to be paying for your boyfriend all the time?

6 Comments

I have been dating this guy for about five months and he has just been stop paying for meals and movies sometimes. He was paying for dinners for a month but one day he said his funds is getting low and if I could take the check this time. As time went by after four months, I realized how I was still paying for everything. Like bowling, which is only a dollar a person. Just this past month or two, I stop asking him to go to dinners with me. We still go to the movies, once in a while he will pay. Should I still be in this relationship? I just don't want to be used.

    If you're afraid he's using you for money, don't go out anymore. If he says, hey want to go to dinner or something say "Sorry, I don't have whole lot of money right now." I go halfers with my boyfriend, and it works out fine. I don't beleive in just 1 person paying, so if that sounds like something that will work for you, feel free to try that to :P

    Only you can answer that. Only you know his situation and whether he really is short of funds or if he's just blowing it on something he doesn't need. It's normal for one person to pay most of the time in long-term relationships, but 5 months isn't all that long and makes me question his sincerity. Or maybe neither of you have graduated high school yet, in which case it would be completely normal that he never has money, especially if he doesn't have a job.

    Sounds to me like he is trying to get away with whatever he can. If he can skip the bill, he will. Once in a while he will pay to make it look like he's not taking you for a ride. If he can't afford to go out bowling or to dinner etc with you, then he shouldn't be going out if he doesn't have any money. I mean yeah you can pay for it now and then as any boyfriend or girlfriend would, but it really should be 50/50. My advice, talk to him and tell him he needs to be paying more otherwise don't go out knowing he can't pay for himself, or find a new boyfriend that can.

    Dunno about the question but I think when you too do something together and have fun it doesn't matter if you have to pay sometimes... When he really hasn't much money you should accept that... If you like him that shouldn't be a problem... maybe talk with him about this to see what he says about that...

    I don't think he's using you!
