It made my skin crawl just thinking about it, and I knew immediately that I personally don't have it in me to do this kind of thing. I was broke, too, so it's not about that issue. No judgments on anyone. Just look deep within yourself before you take this kind of step.

This arrangement can end whenever I want it to. He has done this once before a couple years back. Honestly I've been struggling badly and I've had to put off school before to save money to pay. I don't want to do that again.
To the pp - Have you been through identity theft? I had a family member take out CC in my name before I even had my own CC. I was just able to get a CC to build credit. Getting negative marks with no credit to start off is really bad. I do not qualify for financial aid or pell grants. The student loans want a co-signer but I have no one willing to co-sign. The ones I do have only cover half tuition, and I was able to obtain w.o a credit check. Trust me, I've exhausted all options for years. I know what I'm talking about.
Serious question but how is this different than prostitution?

You know him, you care for him. You don't love him or want to spend the rest of your life with him.
I think you need an exit plan but otherwise go for it.

I was raised by my step-dad but he refuses to help me or my siblings out. He is only paying tuition for his bio daughter, though I've been raised by him since I was 6.
I live in NY which is so expensive.

Get government loans, not private ones.
