<human>: Hi! I've posted here before, but I'm generally not that active on reddit, so please forgive any formatting errors.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years, and he is my first serious partner. We moved in together just over a year ago, into my family home, owned by my father. I pay our $100/week rent and my boyfriend pays our groceries, petrol, any pretty much anything other regular "household" expense. 

We both work, and get paid weekly, he earns a bit more than I do, though. I'm also studying, which entitles me to a government payment fortnightly. In order to receive my payment, both me and my partners wage details have to be submitted online each fortnight. If I wasn't with my partner, I might not be eligible for a payment, and even if I was eligible, it would be about half the amount it is now. When I first began getting the payment I was giving half to my partner to pay him back for his financial help while I was unemployed and not earning or contributing, but I don't feel like I owe him for that anymore.

The trouble I have with this situation is that this payment goes into my bank account, is addressed to me, I have monthly appointments to attend in order to receive it and I spent hours on the phone/online trying to get it set up. Partner seem to think that since he gives his wage details to the government agency, he is entitled to half the payment. On the other hand, I might not be getting a payment if I wasn't with him and it would be halved if I was still eligible. I constantly feel like his bank balance increases while I go back to zero every week. I don't want to be selfish, but I'm not sure how to resolve this fairly.

Sorry for the length, I wasn't sure how much backstory/context was relevant.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Partner and I both submit our wages online in order for me to receive my student benefit, I give him half and I am starting to feel a bit frustrated. Am I just being selfish? What is the best way to resolve this?
