Am i selfish for not wanting to pawn or sell my switch?

My boyfriend has a car in HIS name only and is behind on payments. He job hops and moves jobs allot, last week was my last check from my job and instead of paying for my pregnancy doctor and buying our 7m stuff he could use (more clothes) i paid 462 to his car to keep it because i need it. Now a week later they wont accept 80$ which is what he has cause his check was only 103$

Hes wanting to sell my stuff to pay for his car and i said no. I dont get out or have any friends. I dont play my xbox allot so i got a switch since im more mobile with it and can play more. I dont think im selfish at all.

What do yall think?

I think you’re dumb for taking away from your baby for something that’s not yours. You dont NEED a vehicle. Many survive without one.
Stop selling your stuff. Next thing you know you won’t have anything left because you pawned a car that’s not even yours.

I think he needs to grow the F up and take some damn responsibility!!

You aren’t his ATM, he better get a job and quit being a dead beat!

Nope. His ass needs to deal with it himself

If it’s a car u both use then it may be in your best interest to invest in the vehicle.

Needs to be looking for better or more Work. His car, his problem.

It sounds like you have an infant and you’re pregnant, but your boyfriend is not contributing because he’s not making enough and isn’t attempting to get extra or more reliable work. Take your kids and go, you don’t need an adult child too.

It’s his problem not yours

He needs to be more responsible. This isn’t your fault he’s behind. Don’t let him guilt you into believing this is your problem or your fault in any way. And selling your switch gives you a one time payment. Sounds like he needs to figure out a long term situation. Which is keep a dang job. This is a case of tell me he’s a narcissist without saying he’s a narcissist.

Put him out, it will be hard for a minute but hes proven to you he’s more a liability than an asset, on top of that you share a baby he won’t help take care of so if I were you (eventhough I’m not) i would cut my losses and leave him alone, you can do bad by yourself, you don’t need help that isn’t helping.

I went threw a lot when I was pregnant we sold everything a few times to make it including trampolines ect :pleading_face: it was hard we didn’t have to at all no cell phone and one car on its last leg we lived miles from town or anyone else I did that for three years it’s hard but if you think dad isn’t going to get his stuff straight and is just using you to keep himself going yeah I wouldn’t do it but if it’s your only car and he doesn’t plan on bailing on you I would sell it part of being and adult trying to make it but if you think he’s going to bail sell it and use the money to get somewhere stable or on your feet with out him :pensive: you can’t always count on them to grow up or change it just doesn’t happen sounds like you need to figure out something else that doesn’t involve counting on him

He needs to get a job and keep it.

Mannnnnn for people saying bc u use the car do it … NO DONT SMFH u already paid 500 on his shit … smh that shits in HIS NAME … not urs u got to think an maybe get ur own car or something with your name on it also soo he cant get mad an take it … I wouldnt pay on a car that’s in my bf name if he wasnt helping or being responsible!!! U got a 7 month old he needs to wake up!!!

No! It’s your Switch, why doesn’t he sell his stuff? Does he have an Xbox or PS? I’m sure he has stuff of value he could sell, or he can do a pay day loan.

Either way I was in a similar situation, I resented them and realized I was being used, we didn’t have kids though.

sounds like ole boy needs a different job, and to learn how to show up and be responsible for his own bills

Your boyfriend; not spouse, not fiance. He doesn’t want to share. He doesn’t want responsibility. Give him what he needs, consequences to his selfish actions

Girl you better leave him before he drags you too far down. If he can’t afford his car how is he gonna help provide for his child? These are the early red flags most women don’t even see.

Pawn it and tell him he has to go halves to get it out with you on the next payday. If you need the car like you say then you gotta do what you gotta do to keep it as well at this point. Then again if this isn’t a serious type of relationship then too bad so sad… he shouldnt have gotten a car that he cant afford to pay on and should think about holding a steady job down instead of going thru them like underwear… :woman_shrugging:

Do not sell your stuff because he’s irresponsible. That’s ridiculous.

He obviously isn’t ready to be a dad. He can’t keep a job or a car how is he supposed to support your child? If you don’t want to be always selling your things to have simple things like transportation then you really need to evaluate your relationship.

You need to run as fast as you can with all your stuff and move forward without him. The fact he thinks you need to sell/ pawn your stuff instead of stepping up and taking care of his shit means he’s got to go!

You need to leave him. That’ll never change. You’ll be struggling for the rest of your life if you stay with him. He obviously doesn’t want to work so he’s gonna keep doing the bare minimum and leaving it up to you to figure it all out. It’s better to be single and happy than to be in a relationship and always miserable because he can’t hold down his part so it causes tension and arguments between y’all.

I understand what your saying but unlike everyone else I think you also need to look at the fact your pregnant and need to get to your doctor appt which u need transportation to then when u have your guys baby how you getting to the hospital how are u getting to the baby dr appt how is he your child’s father going to go to work at all without a car? Having to rely on someone else for a ride when your child is in need or you go into labor isn’t ideal. YOU need the car. I’m sorry I can’t tell you what u want to hear but you have to think about this long term or get your own car in your name.

Girl cmon now if u know damn well he’s job hopping and can’t afford to pay a car note y u with this lazy ass? You gave a bum 462$ towards a vehicle instead of buying clothes for your baby and paying your obgyn doctor. Now if u don’t see a problem with that then u need to open your eyes real quick cause that dude is just using you whether u can admit it or not. Like seriously you didn’t get your baby clothes girl like wtf man that some f*cked up shyt right there cause your bum of a boyfriend can’t work n keep a job n pay his own car note. What’s more interesting is you said the car company won’t accept 80$ so either that means he didn’t have the full amount n used 462$ towards something else which wasn’t the car n the car company WANTS their money not just little bit here n there they want the full
Amount he’s behind on. U need to think of your child at this point n get away from this loser. Car or no car you’ll be fine trust me on this.

There’s the door, pay for the damn car himself

No, you’re not. Tell him to quit being a b*tch and work a better job.

My fiance owns the vehicle we have. His name is on it. His name is on the insurance. I’ve had to pay his insurance. I’ve had to buy the ball joints and 2 wheel bearings to fix it. I’ve had to pay a loan for him that he had before we even got together. I told him I refuse to pay anymore on any of it. He hasn’t helped and hadn’t tried. I can’t work due to health problems and being under 3 Drs. He won’t work. So what money I make from crafts I sell and selling stuff I don’t need anymore went to the vehicle but I refuse to pay anymore. Girl you don’t have to sell your stuff that’s YOUR stuff

No you’re not being selfish he is. As far as the finance company they will accept the payment but it might not stop anything that’s going to happen if they’ve already got a repo order on it.

Honey you and your babies deserve so much more…

No!! He needs to grow tf up, get his ass to work and stay there so he can pay his own bills.

Get out so he grows up

Take your switch and run.

NOT SELFISH AT ALL!!
You already gave your last check to help out, when you baby needs more things when they arrive!
You and your child deserve better… I can’t imagine it getting any better when you have your baby… I just hope that he doesn’t continue to switch jobs and barely make ends meet for his child…
You shouldn’t have to do this alone… you helped out since you need it and now it’s his turn.
He needs to sell some of his own things, not turn to you and put the pressure of selling your things only…

I’m not saying it’ll be much…cause it could be, too…but you should just sell him instead of your stuff…

My husband has sold a lot of my things in the past bc he can’t keep a job
Cars, computers, Xbox’s, switches and my wedding/engagement rings.
My advice as much as it sucks… keep everything separate. He needs to step up and get a job to pay for HIS expenses. Unfortunately with people like this the only way they’ll learn is if you refuse to give in
