    Hi Jess,

    You don't state what type of relationship you are in with this guy. If you are married, it is one thing, but if you are just living together, it's a totally different picture. I'm guessing you guys are just living together so my answer will be based on that.

    He can spend his money how ever he wants. And you can spend yours how ever you want. Just make sure you keep your accounts separate, and if you make a major purchase, it is in your name only. (I'd still use caution in making major purchases period.) If he is not paying his 50% of the rent and living expenses, I would consider finding a new roommate or living arrangement. It is not likely he will change his money habits. Be thankful if you are not married to him.

    You may consider the both of you going to financial counseling together prior to making a long term commitment.

    Good luck.
