How patronising would it be for me to give my boyfriend (who is four years my senior) a talking to about his budgeting skills?
He seems to have no understanding of the ways of frugal shopping (I've seen him spend upwards of £10 on one night's meal), and when he was rejected by a phone company for a new contract because his credit rating was bad, he tells me he has NO IDEA how he ran out of money.
I have lent and lent and lent and lent and lent him money over the past year, always on the assurance that I will get it back but I have not seen one penny of it. This from a man who reminded me three times over within five minutes that I owed him £6, on the night that he lent me the money in the first place. I wouldn't care about the money if I saw that he was actually trying to sort his spending out but it's the same fucking story every time. I've just spent £52 on those Aphex Twin tickets because he can't afford it. At this point I'm not even lending the money to be kind, I'm doing it simply because I don't know Manchester that well and it probably wouldn't be a good idea for me to go by myself. I'm at the end of my tether really.
I've bit back my tongue for the past year. Is it about time I unleashed all hell on him, or am I being a bitch for looking at it like this?

Dump the loser.
He sounds like a jackass anyways.
I mean, I'm all for splitting the bills, blah, blah, blah, but when you're constantly loaning him money, then he's going to bitch about $9? That's just bullshit. A person being irresponsible with their finances is one thing. I'm not the biggest frugal spender myself, but I get by, even if it's living month-to-month. Harassing you for money that you've lent him is a bad sign of things to come. If he's this greedy while still being irresponsible, do you really want to deal with that long term?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
