The woman gets “ick” from boyfriend who refuses to share food costs fairly

A couple in the 30s are contrary to how to divide their living expenses fairly.

The woman explains on Reddit That her boyfriend moves into her apartment, which she owns, so he does not have to pay rents. Instead, he agreed to cover building maintenance, tools such as WiFi and electricity and the annual property taxes, which are about $ 500 a year.

The woman told him that she would cover the cost of all “cat -related expenses”, because she has three cats while her boyfriend has only one.

When they came to the conversation about food, it is when things “began to spiral.”

“I told him that I thought it was meaningful that it was a division of 70/30 – he pays more. He asked:” Who is 70? “I said, you. ‘He was like,’ Why not 50/50? ‘ I said, “Because you eat three times more than me,” she reminds.

“He did not love that answer and began to draw” The partnership would be 50/50 “card. I told him 60/40 was the lowest I would go,” she adds.

While they originally lost it, the man started “making snoring comments like:” Honestly, I just eat dinner here anyway … Will you just pay for cat stuff? “

His behavior gave her “ick”.

“You live here rent -free, in a clean, comfortable, fully furnished home, I maintain myself. I am here for the most part, so the space is always stored, cleaned, cozy, and I offer all this to you with love,” explains the woman.

She then went on to say that she likes “a man who provides” or “at least contributes more when he goes into my space.”

While making “a little more” money than the poster, she noted that it is not a “huge gap” so that she does not “do not” expect full supplier status. ”

“Now I can’t stop wondering if I sign up to live with a roommate or a boyfriend. Vibe has shifted. And I hate it,” she stopped and asked Reddit if she is wrong.

People in the comments on the woman told the woman that she was more than fair with her expectations, with many who agreed that the man could contribute more.

“Better question is, why does she let him move in without paying his share on everything? Including rent,” commented a person.

“If the argument is too fair, full justice should be applied across the line. You cannot drive for a 50/50 food division while ignoring the enormous financial advantage of living rent -free. True capital means accounting for the whole picture, not just the practical parts,” added another person.
