Confused

[Kwana2010]

My question is if you're temporarily staying with your boyfriend you pay half the rent and half of the electric bill should he give me the key to the apartment while I'm staying there even though I'm not on the list I moved in with him just until I get my own place but now when he goes to work he does not leave me the key and I have to stay inside of the house until he gets back or leave and stay outside until he comes back I don't think that is fair to me but I need advice or opinions

[Aarontmarshall]

No, that is not fair on you. Maybe contributing towards the bills would make him feel better but still, you shouldn't have to wait inside all day for him. Why don't you leave the apartment at the same time as he does? Go out and do things, don't wallow at home.

Move out that's nonsense. Don't you have to go to work? It's not about fair. It's about get employment and a place. Stay with friends, family, anyone who treats you better than a backyard dog.

 

No key = guest. Guest = no rent.

 

He sees you were desperate for someplace to crash and while taking advantage accepting your cash doesn't treat you live you are actually welcome. Move out. Move out asap.

 

House pets stay in the house or outside until the owner gets home, not gfs. What are you thinking living there? Get out.

pay half the rent and half of the electric bill .he goes to work he does not leave me the key and I have to stay inside of the house until he gets back or leave and stay outside until he comes back

I'd have a serious issue with that. Tell him to get you a key if you're staying there or find another living arrangement. That's a control issue of him not wanting you to be able to leave without him there, like you're in jail or something.

 

Besides don't you have to go to work? He's definitely into controlling you, that is the only reason he'd do that. And that's a major red flag, so yeah get out of there. While you still can.

Yeah something is off here. Move out and note this as a red flag. I have crashed at 2 friend's places last year. One was for 6 weeks, another for 2 months. Both times I paid for my share of utility and rent and both times I was given a key. And these are my friends, not my boyfriend.

 

Only times I was not given a copy of a key is when I was staying as a guest and not paying for anything. Something is very off here so please take control of your situation and move out. Do you have friends or family you can stay with in the meantime?

Do you believe that you should pay to be jailed? I'd tell him that I won't pay another dime until I receive the keys and I've tested them. But I think it would be far smarter to find another living arrangement--this guy is not looking out for your best interests. I'd skip him.
