My BF "forgot" to tell me he still pays for his ex’s Netflix (and they’re sharing an algorithm)

so i (24F) was trying to find something to watch on tyler’s laptop while he was in the shower. i noticed a profile on his netflix called "Bae." y’all... they broke up two years ago. i checked the account settings and he’s still paying the monthly sub for her. when i asked, he said he "just forgot to cancel it" and that it’s "only $15, why are you being weird?" but i see what she’s watching. she’s watching "our" shows. i feel like i’m in a three-way relationship with a ghost.

The Breakdown:

• He Said: It’s a passive expense he hasn't thought about. He views it as a "non-event."
• She Said: It’s a lack of Digital Boundaries. Paying for an ex is a tether that keeps the door cracked open.

The Science: This is Micro-cheating. Behavioral science shows that small, "harmless" financial or digital links to an ex prevent Secure Attachment in a new relationship because the "space" isn't fully vacant.

The Solution: "Tyler, it’s not about the $15. It’s about the fact that you’re still financially and digitally tethered to your past. It makes me feel like a guest in your life instead of your partner. I need you to close that chapter—and the account—today."
