Am I the asshole for not helping my bf pay his rent and will possibly get evicted? He gambled all his rent money. Down to ZERO.

I initially said okay I will help you pay for the materials on a job (he’s a contractor) so you can get paid and from there you can pay your bills and eventually pay me back. Well it turns out that when he went to the bank to cash his check ge was negative 3k because he overdraft it too… you guessed it… to gamble.

Now I’ve given him 3k and he was unable to resolve anything and needs to pay rent. On top of that our cells phones were shut off. And he needs to his number for work. So I might have to pay for that ($300).

His rent is 3k and I’m just not willing to give him a total of 6k just cuz he decided to risk it all and gamble.

I feel bad as he’s getting really depressed but he owes me sooo much money and won’t change his habits.

Am I the asshole?
