All I said about finances is 1, the cell phone thing - - WHICH I had money for, he just simply chose not to tell me I owed him anything until after he had it turned off. I ask you this also: If it's so important to him that he practices "Tough Love", why isn't he doing it? To me it seems a little silly to have MY cell phone under HIS name... Because no matter how much I go over, he still pays it so it doesn't affect his credit.. THEN he asks me for it. Why does he not just drop me? It's not a contract (he has it in with one of the managers, so she didn't make us sign a year long contract or anything). That would make more sense to me..."Maybe then I'd learn".

Okay if you want to focus on the cell phone, are you not aware of the minutes allotted on your billing plan? I am almost positive you know when you have gone over in minutes. I am also almost positive that you know when the billing cycle is over. If you had the money you could have offered it to him when your cycle was up. Why wait for him to ask for it, then get upset when he disconnects your phone? This makes little sense to me. If it is silly to have the cell phone in his name, why not ASK him to drop you, then start up service under your own name?
I guess the problem I am having has nothing to do with you not being independent. It's that you seem to absolve yourself of all responsibility. Not once in this thread have you taken responsibility for any of your situations. That is what I have the issue with. I hate that it-is-never-my-fault mentality. I am not saying that you have that mentality as a general rule BUT FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER IN THIS THREAD, in the situations that you have presented, it seeps through.
