My boyfriend's friend uses all my gaming accounts for free and I'm supposed to be fine with it.
By @nialiterally · Gaming
I pay for Game Pass, PS Plus, everything. My boyfriend gave his friend all my passwords because the guy is 'going through it.' Now I can't even play my own games sometimes because he's logged in.
The full story
I'm not a cheap person. But I work a job where I'm on my feet all day. When I get home, I want to sit down and play a game. That's my one thing. My boyfriend and I split the bills, but the gaming subscriptions are mine. I pay for the highest tier of Game Pass, PS Plus Premium, Nintendo Switch Online, all of it. It adds up. A few months ago, my boyfriend told me his friend was having a rough time, got laid off, and was really down. they asked if his friend could use my accounts for a bit to take his mind off things. I said sure, for a little while. It's been six months. This guy is on my accounts constantly. He's beaten games I haven't even started. The other night, I tried to log in to play something online and I couldn't because he was signed in on my profile on his console. I had to text my boyfriend to tell him to get off. It's humiliating. I told my boyfriend last night that it's time to cut him off. He's had plenty of time to get back on his feet. My boyfriend got super defensive. Said I'm being selfish over a few dollars and that he can't believe I'd 'kick a guy when he's down.' He said real friends help each other out. I said this isn't help, it's mooching. The friend hasn't offered a dime. He's just a leech. My boyfriend is sleeping on the couch. they says I'm being cold and uncharitable, but I feel like I'm being taken for a ride.

@kirayk — Your boyfriend is using his friend's situation to avoid confronting his own cheapness.
@willamm — You've been more than patient. It is not selfish to want to use the things you work hard to pay for.
