Relationship & money advice PUHLEAASE!

Hello,

I am a female in my mid-late 20s that has been struggling financially for what seems like forever. I have a good job that pays me fairly well but a few years I created very poor spending habits that I’m currently cleaning up. My boyfriend makes excellent money and offered to help me a few months back. I declined mostly because of pride but now I’m realizing I do need his help. Please be aware that he’s been staying with me for awhile (months) looking for a new place and has only paid my rent once as I didn’t think this would be this type of situation. I’ve never needed anyone to help me financially- I’ve always found a way as us women do but how do I ask him for the help I need- because I’m riding the struggle bus bad AF
