So I’ve been with my partner a while now, we have a little one. He’s a great guy. I love him a lot and we have a really good relationship he’s my best friend. However, he owes me a lot of money.. I helped him out with repairs back in December which costs thousands out of my pocket but I helped because he’s my partner and it’s just what you do. He said he’d pay me back by the end of this year, then couple months ago he needed more money for repairs so I helped again, another thousand pound.. he gets paid weekly but he’s so bad at keeping track with funds and budgeting he keeps running out of money and now he owes me another £500 for food and presents for families birthdays and my birthday which I paid for a couple of weeks ago etc. I’ve kind of lost track. He said he’s gonna pay me back for all of this but he’s got other debts and as a girlfriend and person he loves I will stick by him no matter what. But how would you feel about it?

i understand being a partner and helping out but it gets to a certain point… stop giving him the money no matter what he says or if he makes you feel bad. not until he pays you the money he owes you. at that point it’s not a partnership he’s just taking your money. and helping is different but he said he’d pay you back so he needs to pay you your money back that you worked hard for. that’s on him that he doesn’t know how to save or budget
