GUY’S GF STILL PAYING FOR EX-BF’S BILL SUBSCRIPTIONS 2 YEARS AFTER THEY BROKE UP

pay bill for ex partner

Hi all..what do you think or will do, if your current partner still sharing/paying for her/his ex bill or subscriptions?

especially for those who had a quite long term relationship with their ex. They definitely share subscriptions for netflix/spotify/postpaid internet bill in one account.

And consider they already break up for at least 1-2 years or even more. Also consider this case apply not only for ex girlfriend/boyfriend, but ex wife/husband too.

This is a red flag or not, or is it consider common/not a big issue to care about in the relationship? Appreciate your opinion.

1. Cancel?
2. Sounds extremely weird.
   Paying for an ex does not sound super healthy nor justified, unless it’s a formal (court?) agreement or obligation.
   Without any formal obligation, that’s kinda red flag to me or at least something to carefully discuss.
3. I think it depends. If your partner has children with the ex, then it might make sense for him/her to share an account as part of the shared upkeep of the children.
   If they don’t have kids with their ex, it could be just sheer inertia that’s prevented them from getting separate accounts. Raise it with your partner? If your partner is unwilling to switch, then red flag. If they’re willing to switch, then great!
4. Depends on why they never cancel. Is it cos cancellation fee, hassle to cancel, cancel will lose some perks or they genuinely want to pay for something for their ex.
   Shared netflix maybe they feel one more person watching also doesn’t affect me so doesn’t matter.
   I won’t pay for anyt for my ex or expect my ex to pay for anyt for me but i won’t jump to red flag la.
