Finances.

Recently I've been coming to term that I'm bring another person into the world, and I'll be responsible for this person emotionally, spiritually and financially. My boyfriend live together and we both work full time jobs, so wre more than capable of caring for a child. But I feel like he hasn't mentally realized that his spending habits can't be the same. It's not like I want him to just not spend any money, but I do have dr bills that are already starting to come in. I've asked him to pay some of the bills and he said he was fine with that, but nothing has been offered. On top of that he just been talking non stop about these cyber Monday deals that he's gonna take advantage of. And he keeps adding what I was for Xmas. I can honestly care less about either. I like nice things but I'm not 100% materialist. I just wish he understood where I'm coming from. He says things like for my parents to be so weathly I have poor spending habits. I'm just aware of my spending and my needs verses my wants. Can anyone else relate?

I understand where ur coming from. My bf just spent around 399 for a new phone and case. I was pissed bc we still need things for our daughter. After i went off on him and after i cooled down we talked and he's starting to see things.from my point of view. Try sitting ur bf down and explaining how u feel and where ur coming from. It may help him see things differently
