[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long story short, we are both on the lease, I cannot afford this on my own.
Money was ok when we moved in, I had savings
Then covid hit and initially I got some more pay. I couldn't take the stress and went back to my old job that paid less, but had a promise of advancement. This hasn't materialized. I want to go back to school and study part time, which means not much change financially for the duration.
He is very irritated that I do not pay my way. I want to, but my pay just doesn't go far enough.
Now he is talking about not renewing the lease.

Haven't read the responses, but you sound like a typical progressive millennial. You talk about "not paying my own way" because "my pay just doesn't go far enough" as if money comes from thin air. What you're expecting is your boyfriend to work more and/or make responsible financial decisions so that you can live a nice comfortable life while working less and/or making worse decisions. He doesn't want to do that. And you're so entitled that you don't even seem to understand that's what you're actually asking of him.

The boyfriend sounds smart.[/quote]

Agreed. And I say this as someone who probably falls into the “typical progressive millennial” stereotype and is a SAHM. You intentionally put a heavier financial burden on your BF, seemingly without considering the toll this would take on him at all. That is selfish and entitled behavior. Couples can, and do, support each other financially and it is not necessary that all expenses are evenly split but these arrangements must be discussed and agreed upon beforehand. You can not independently decide that your BF is responsible for covering your rent.[b] I genuinely don’t understand how this could be confusing to you.[/b] [/quote]

+3 and especially to the bold.[/quote]
