He acts as though he is a tennant, not affianced.

I was going to write more, but I don't want to make too many assumptions about british law and finances. Here in the US, my husband and I are utterly linked financially. Our money and debt are shared and have been since we were married. He is considered a tightwad by many of his friends. He's the kind of guy that goes out to eat with a group of friends and doesn't order a meal, rather he'll eat the bits and pieces left on his friends' plates at the end of the meal. Even though he is extremely frugal, he didn't hesitate when I needed his help to pay a bill while we were engaged. This is because he knew that if I accumulated any debt he would feel it later on.

I know finances are not always this way in families, so I will not outright suggest that your beau is not planning to marry you afterall - but that was my initial gut reaction to your words.
