<prompt> Human: tl;dr - I am quite literally supporting my boyfriend financially and he doesnt understand the severity of the situation he has put me in.Right now I am feeling as though I am in a financial bind, and I am not sure how to resolve this situation tactfully. Ever since I moved out at 21, I handled all the bills for whoever I lived with. This was mainly because the lease had always been in my name and in turn, all the utilities. I would pay the bill, and whoever I was living with would pay me back or ahead of time. Perhaps I was lucky, but this had never been a problem.My boyfriend moved in with me in February, and I have since purchased house which is in my name alone. As mentioned before, I pay the bills and he is supposed to reimburse me, and lately I feeling as though he is taking my flexibility for granted because he knows I am not going to miss a payment. In the last couple of months he has grown very lax regarding paying me and tells me he feels uncomfortable always talking about finances, but I am now struggling as a result of him. At first I would Venmo request him and those piled up. We ended up sitting down and having a very serious talk about this. We agreed that he would pay me a minimum amount each month, and any extra goes towards his balance owed to me from previous bills, groceries, vacations, etc. I asked that he also get a part time job given he owes me a significant amount of money. He was resistant to doing this, but eventually agreed although I dont even foresee this happening.We are two weeks into this agreement and he has paid me just about a quarter of that is owed for the month and knowing what he makes weekly, there is no way he is going to be able to pay the remaining amount. My finances are suffering significantly and I have had to dip into my savings account a number of times recently to cover his half of the bills, which is now down 4K to cover his half of things. I expressed my concern and he says things like At least you have a savings account. and most recently stated that if I am in that much of bind that there has to be something wrong on my end from a budgeting perspective. I am not sure what I can do to show him that I am in this bind as a result of his irresponsibility.I fear he is not taking this seriously and I need to figure out a way to penalize him for not making a payment whether that be charging an interest rate or late fee. Without this he is going to continue to take his time, but adamantly disagrees to this because obviously he doesnt want to owe me more than he already does. I am not sure what to do to make this fair without literally managing his finances personally which I wouldnt want to do for another adult.  <response>: Tell him that if he does not pay rent you will have to evict him and find another tenant. Then, if he does not pay, evict him.Good luck.
