My boyfriend is freeloading at my place and I don’t know what to do
Hi, need some advice here.
My bf and i have been in a relationship for over 3 years now. During the initial years, he will bring me out to eat for dates, movies etc.
Just about a year ago, when my mother passed away, I ended up living on my own.
So since then, everyday he would come over for dinner and weekends for dinner or lunch, watch TV and play games. Initially it was alright, i enjoyed the company (who wouldn’t right?)
But after awhile, it gets too much as i can’t go out without him asking me when i’ll be back, and he expects me to buy dinner back for him when i’m out and we hardly go out anymore since my place covers food and the subscriptions to movies and netflix. (I don’t mind staying home)
The problem is that he doesn’t contribute to the household expenses or bills, yet he eats all the food in kitchen and drinks in fridge. He doesn’t clean, so basically I feel like he is treating my place is like a hotel with a maid (who cooks and clean) and free flow of drinks and food.
I don’t know how to solve this problem without hurting his feelings or if he wish to come over; at very least contribute to the expenses and electricity bills.
ps, i did ask him to go back home by saying he doesn’t need to always be around, didn’t work. He took it negatively and thought i didn’t want him around.
