A man has received backlash from his girlfriend after claiming he does not have the money to pay towards her car which he uses, despite the fact he earns more than her. The girlfriend took to Reddit to explain that they have moved in together, and while they split all the other bills, he does not feel he should pay for repairs to her car.
In the post, the girlfriend explained: "My bf and I have had the agreement that the last car I had was a shared car, which was as much his as mine, except for the legal papers on it, like the apartment."
However, when she wanted to get a bit of a newer old car, he said he did not have much money for it.
She said: "He ended up using it a lot more than I did. When that car broke down I asked if we should get a “new” old one together but he said that he didn’t have the money for it, so I bought one myself."
"I said that if he wanted the same agreement as before then he had to pay equally on all the expenses."
But when the newer car recently broke down, she has had to take it to get repaired and she has had to front up with the bill.

"Now the car broke down and I’ve just paid the bill. I told him, as always that it is his decision if he wants to help pay the bill, and he said he doesn’t know yet but that he wants to use the car on Saturday when I’m not home," she explained.
She has told him he needs to figure out if he wants to pay her in order to use the car on Saturday when she is not at home.
"Now he is mad at me because he doesn’t think it’s fair because he doesn’t ask me for money for the renovations on the apartment," she explained.
But she feels that if she had not paid that last bill for the car, they would not even have a car he would be able to use on Saturday.
In response, the girlfriend has received support online with one Redditor saying: " They are necessary to use the car. If he wants to use the car, he should help pay for repairs. NTA."
While another said: "Based on your post, he sounds like he's very adamant about YOU paying your share of everything and everything being paid for half & half. Except this one thing. I feel like if things were reversed, HE would be asking YOU to pay."
