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.

Honestly, boyfriend or not I hope you have some type of contract or written agreement bc if not he can pretty much stick you with the rent.

"his share of the rent"? Then he's a roommate, not a boyfriend.

It sounds as if they both have their own jobs and own money, and they probably split the rent and bills. Why wouldn't he be a boyfriend?

And why exactly aren't they allowed to split bills/rent? Most couples split their bills for some time when first moving in together.

I always find it weird when you are far enough along in your relationship to live together but you spilt rent. As me personally in a relationship if we are sharing a house we share money. I do understand not everyone believes this though

I don't. I had a boyfriend who wound up being a completely selfish asshole when it came to money. He'd constantly go out and buy new games, whatever caught his fancy (he didn't even play a quarter of them, just kept them on the shelf), still ask me for money sometimes to buy more, and even asked me to "help" (read: do all the work of) saving for a new clarinet, for a music degree that he wound up changing his mind about. No, I completely agree with bill splitting, pretty much in all stages of the relationship, right until divorce and/or death of me or my partner as a result.

I don't think sharing money is ever a good idea. From a personal perspective my dad was terrible with money, but my parents had separate accounts because my mom was smart. When my dad ended up declaring bankruptcy, they couldn't touch my mom's accounts because they were only in her name. This kept my mom and by extension my siblings as we were still quite young at the time from all being completely screwed over by my dad's poor money management. Even if you completely trust your partner to be financially responsible, there's still the risk of identity theft. If accounts are separate but one half of the couple gets compromised, you still have one person's healthy credit to keep the family afloat.

Leave him. You will not go anywhere with a person like that. You'll find someone better. I'm sure of it.
