I feel very uncomfortable discussing finances with my partner. He is self-employed and constantly struggling with finances. He would rather have the utilities turned off than try to get a stable job. I earn more money than him and am worried that I will have to front him rent money or pay so that utilities do not get turned off. This is puting a lot of stress on our relationship and if we can not discuss it and compromise I think it will hurt our ability to be and live together. I have never had bad credit or not been able to pay the bills. He is my opposite in this regard.
