Today, my boyfriend told me he wouldn't be able to cover his share of the rent because he didn't work during the week, saying business has been slow. I checked and found out he called in sick four times. He wanted to stay home and watch online gaming matches. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend wanted me to sleep over at his house. Then he found out that it was that time of the month for me, so he told me that he had to work this weekend and said "see you sometime next week." He doesn't have a job. FML
Today, my boyfriend called work because he is sick. Then he called me four times while I was working, to complain that I was working, and then he got mad when I told him I was sick and worked a double shift two days in a row, because apparently that's "insensitive" of me. FML
Today, I was feeling sick, so I called my boyfriend who lives down the street to come and keep me company. He replied with, "no, I can't come over, I'm busy, I'm playing xbox." FML
Today, my boyfriend took a day off from work because he felt "sick". I thought he might come see me since he hadn't come over in a while. Nope, he went to hang out with his ex instead. FML
Today, my boyfriend refused to take me out on our three year anniversary because he was busy, "training to become a professional gamer." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he was going to take me out somewhere special, so I called in sick for work. Turns out he had made reservations for the restaurant I worked at. FML
Today, my boyfriend accused me of not coming home at all last week. The truth is, I was up and gone to work before him every morning, and I was home after he went to bed. He didn’t even bother talking to me or asking where I was last week, we both work 24/7 on-call jobs, and he knows this happens sometimes. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house after working a night shift. The door was locked and, so I wouldn't wake his parents, I called him. Twelve times. Each call went to voicemail and I was left standing outside in the freezing rain until he finally let me in. What was he doing? Playing video games. FML
Today, I woke up feeling awful, having caught the same illness my boyfriend had last night. When he was sick, I skipped my friend's baby shower to take care of him. Now that I'm sick, he goes to a friend's place, says to call if I need him, then turns his phone off. Seriously. FML
Today, I was told I'm lazy by my boyfriend because I skipped work. He skips his all the time and when I get home still have to cook and clean up after him. FML

One: because it's about rent. Homie don't play no games with money. Two: she was curious to see. Maybe he's pulled the same thing before.

Why did you check up on him in the first place? He's your boyfriend. Not your son

I'd be checking up to see why he wasn't paying rent to. especially if he was lieing or skipping out on me.

2 - because rents a very important thing to have to pay?

Plus for all you know she was checking to see how long business would be slow cause she's worried about rent. Either way if he's going to try rely on her for rent then she has a right to know.

Maybe because they have rent to pay together, and he's letting the responsibility fall on her. I would check his story out too because that's ****** up.

Well, the time is now for eSports season, but that is nothing compared to paying for housing! Good luck dealing with him, OP.

Tell him you know and that he still needs to pay his share of rent.

That sucks OP. I think an ubtimatum may be needed.

Sounds like you need to work on communicating better if you didn't even know he wasn't going to work.

She knew he wasn't going to work, that isn't the issue. As it says above, he told her it was due to low business (i.e. work didn't require him to come in), when actually he was secretly calling in sick to stay home. The issue is that he lied to her about the reason for him staying home, not that she didn't know about it.

Not only irresponsible but a liar too...I usually don't go straight for "break up with him/her" but in this case it might be justified.
