I Katie (24/F) have my dating my boyfriend Chad (21/M) for 1 year and 2 months. He started renting his house about 2 years ago in October 2014. Before I moved in with him in his house, we discussed finances and decided that I wouldn't have to pay anything to live there with him. Now, he is making me pay him part of rent for the past 5 or so months. He said that I would be able to stop paying him rent soon....in like a 1 month from now. We discussed this situation this morning and he told me that he can't afford to live in his house without me paying some rent to him. I was counting on not paying rent like he agreed to when I started to pay rent.

The real problem is when I met him is was in debt and is still in debt. He can't afford to stay his in house because he doesn't make enough to cover all of the monthly expenses. So, I chip in some money so we can barely cover the monthly expenses. My mom says that I shouldn't be paying him rent or spending my $200-$300 dollars on groceries every month if he is eating over half of the food. Although he has bough groceries a few times. I will have to start paying some of my own bills soon (car insurance, phone bill, new car payment,etc.) So I really can't afford to pay him my portion of the rent because if I do then I won't have enough to pay my own bills. Chad and I have discussed about moving to an apartment, that way I wouldn't have to pay him anything because he would be able to cover all of the monthly expenses on his own.

This has put a strain on our relationship ever since I started paying him rent. I need to save some money in case we were to break up. My mom keeps hounding me on saving money and not paying for his food or rent. I feel bad if I don't help out financially in the relationship but I feel like it would be the "right" thing to do in a relationship.

I totaled my car yesterday so that adds to my growing bill list.
<bot>: Boyfriend is telling me to pay rent but my mom is telling me not to. I am feeling pressured to do both but I don't know what to do. How should I solve this issue?
