[quote=Anonymous]This is OP, I want to clarify a few things. My daughter is in medical school (her choice, not us pushing) and we have the means to support her and are happy to do so. Our agreement was that we pay her tuition, rent, basic utilities and for what were her minimal living expenses (groceries and occasionally some inexpensive dinners out with friends). We never needed to set a budget because everything was totally reasonable.

It’s not really the rent I care so much about, although in principle if he has a job I am not sure why he should not contribute. Since they started dating the charges for things like groceries and dinners out have gone up quite a bit. It seems like she is treating him to a nice dinner out once a week which I don’t like. We pay all the bills directly so given the charges I am seeing it does not look like he is paying for anything.

DH and I have met him a couple times (they are in another state) and he honestly seems like a nice guy, but we don’t know him all that well.

And for those questioning our relationship has always been good and is fine outside of this one thing. I think she just doesn’t want to push in the boyfriend because it’s awkward. I don’t know how or why exactly she started paying for things.[/quote]
