Should I pay half of the cost of my bf's viagra? I am single mom of 2 and he makes a lot more than me?

Asked By: JustME37 2 years ago

This is the most recent thing he has come up with - he is cheap to the max but he treats me well otherwise. He has a good job. He works hard and is always fixing things for me around my house. However, he says because I benefit from this magic pill, and if I would like him to continue using it then he would like it if I would contribut to it's escallating cost. I told him he is friggin nuts and that I would post this out for others to comment on. Please let me know what your thoughts are?? Thanks :-)

This is one step away from prostituting....In essence, he's asking you to pay, if you want sex.....I've heard it all, now...

Why are you with this guy? He's cheap, wants you to pay for his pills....I am assuming, that since he is on Viagra, his doctor prescribed it for HIM.....Should you ask him to pay 1/2 of your birth control pill bill? The prescription is made ot to you, but he will benefit by not having an unplanned pregnancy pop up (no pun intended).....

This guy is out in left field...He's the one that NEEDS Viagra...He should pay that bill.

Hon- if you are going to buy sexual satisfaction then let me suggest that you can buy a whole lot better merchandise than a broken down old cheapskate who needs pills to get it up.

Tell him, you care too much about him to be fixated on the physical - let him drop the viagra and you'll be be "spritual" lovers - then mention that you'll get the physical stuff elsewhere.

See how long it takes him to realize who is the one who is actually the one to "benefit" from the pills.

If it takes too long - dump him - he's a fool.

If he thinks you should perhaps you need a new boyfriend. One who doesn't need viagra.

At least he was smart enough not to ask you to pay him by the inch.

ARE YOU KIDDING

tell him where to get off !

you are a single parent, struggling financially....

paying for it IS PROSTITUTION

He's a cheap asss.........drop him like a hot brick

This is an example of what life would be like if you two marry.

You are worth more......his mind is not on a relationship lovingly helping you....it's what he can get out of it

Grant it you would be benefitting from his use of the Viagra pill HOWEVER if your a single mom AND he makes MORE money than you do then this is something that he needs to pay alone. No, I would not help pay half his Viagra in these circumstances.

NO. Viagra is covered by insurance. No man under 50 "needs" to ingest Viagra. It's all for his jollies, let him pay for it. Get a real man.

This is what people worry about? The price of a Viagra prescription that results in two people enjoying the benefits of one pill?
The fact that it is Viagra is irrelevant. If he does things around the house that are worth it to you to have accomplished, and he doesn't send a bill, is it REALLY any different?
Id suck up the price of a viagra prescription just as much as I would accept half of the price of hormone replacement therapy or tampons or contraceptives anything else.
True, he does make more money than you, and because he does, I think there is a bit more going on emotionally with the situation than there is financially. perhaps he feels like he is falsly elevating his sexuality by not having it be something you both want to a degree that it wold be paid for. I dont know. Maybe its just a quirk he has.
I am sure that there are plenty of other things that he does pay for without it being a second thought. If your sex life is important to the both of you, and it IS both of you, thn this seems like a very small price to pay.

Doesn't HE benefit from the use of Viagra. NO it's not your responsibility. He sounds like my soon to be ex husband. Although it wasn't about Viagra. It's about other expenses and he is your bf. You let him by with that now, he will be asking you to buy other things like $1500 leather couches for HIS den.

absollutely not. It is his place to bring an erection for the two of you to enjoy. If he cant fulfil it with an erection he should try other means to fulfill the two of your needs.

It must be horrible for him. He gets the erection of a 15 year old and access to sex with you...my god, how can he possibly put up with such suffering.
If he tells you that you benefit from it...ask him if he can do without your benefit.

No....... You do not pay for anything that a man needs, if you do it once, girl you've lost control. Before you know it he will make you pay his car payments because he gave you a ride. or worse, pay his mortgage because you spend a night at his house. If he can't get it up naturally, he shouldn't waste his time... he is not man enough if sex is more important to him. Did you check out the receipts for the Viagra, Maybe he is paying himself for the work he is doig for you..

He's the one with a limp ****, so he should pay to fix it.

In my opinion no you shouldn't have to pay any part of it. He's the one that needs it to perform so he should be the one paying for it. It's already been said that paying for it would be a form of prostitution and that is 100% true. Tell him to pay for it himself since he needs it and if he says no then tell him to take a hike.

time for a new boyfriend! i'm a single mother as well, and providing shelter, food and clothing for my children is my #1 priority...if he really cared about you, paying for 1/2 of his viagra wouldn't be a situation you would have to concern yourself with. just my opinion...good luck with it all!

I agree with unicorn. You shouldn't pay the prostitute for sex. I think it would be cheaper just to get a new bf rather than paying for his pills. It would solve both of your problems. he wouldn't have to pay for the pills because he wouldn't have the need to get an erection and you would have a new bf that can get it up without help from a little blue pill. Good luck.
