How Do You Split Rent In A Relationship When You And Your Partner Live Together?

[Aphrodite801]

So for me it’s either we do 50/50, the guy pays more, or he pays it all. Nothing else, not in a relationship yet but it’s looking like I will be soon 😊 up to me

50/50

My partner will pay more of the rent than I do

I pay more of the rent than my partner does

I pay all of the rent myself

[glennos89]

First of all... talk about it with your so. Everybody has a different view on it

You can do it 50/50

You can devide it that 1 person pays the bills and the other one the groceries

I arranged with my ex that if she could work part-time and clean the house that I payed for everything as long as my finances allowed me too. And she occasionally helped also a little bit with groceries when I had a rough month and for us this worked out great

Anything is possible just make sure you make a agreement that works for both

[Aphrodite801]

No one asked how you think other people should do it, first of all with that 😂 now I’m not gonna read the rest of that garbage

I think splitting rent based on percentage of household income contribution expected is the most "fair" and self sustaining path forward. What we make this year may not be the same as what we make next year if we are also trying to better ourselves. All of these things, starting your own company, going back to school, taking a paycut or working longer hours without pay to develop your career, staying at home for 1 year to watch the kids or take care of an elderly parent, getting an awesome promotion do not relate to gender whatsoever.

Sharing the highs and lows as a team allows both partners to trade off being the achiever and the operations support roles.

I really think it depends on the financial situation of both. I don't think the guy should pay more or all just because they're the guy. 50/50 is the ideal situation in my opinion. However, I pay about 65% more than my boyfriend does. Only because I make a LOT more than he does and he also has to pay child support to his baby momma. I don't want him to go broke paying so much in housing. However, we want a nice place in a good area. But in return, he does mow the lawn fixes things up around the house and other things.

[Aphrodite801]

Good thing no one asked what you think others should do

[Aphrodite801]

The rest of your comment though 💀💀 sad

[Jumpin4blue]

Sad that you rely on a guy to support you and can't be a strong independent woman. I'd rather live on the streets than rely on a guy to support me. But hey, you do you girl!

[Aphrodite801]

Says the girl dating a broke guy who has to pay child support since he is so shit? Hilarious. Just cause I’m not an idiot like you doesn’t mean I rely on guys for support 🤣🤣 get a clue.

[Guy13]

Damn right. Your scoot/scoot access and general relationship comes with responsibility. He should desire to care for you BUY it is rare in the Self-engrossed cultures of this day.

[Guy13]

Reasonableness didctates Member that makes the greater percentage of Income pays for majority Rent. I’m sorry but his first damn responsibility to make it known that you are-valued. Some guys do that in terms of get beautiful. Hair nails shopping BECAUSE she is a reflection oh him. It’s common damn sense. Some men are smarter and pick up the house payment, car, and utilities while demanding she Save and have freedom to be woman whatever this may look like in your Shared Design. There’s varied ways to Man-Up.🤷🏻‍♂️

[Aphrodite801]

Yes I agree lol

[Guy13]

You should not have to start Plan. Tip of iceberg…mommas boy? Good luck 🍀 really but damn boy-men today.

[Losalt]

What I consider fair is that we pay a equal percentage of our income or as close to that as possible.
If I earn more then I'll pay more, if I earn less then she'll pay more.
If we have varying income we'll work it out over time based on what works for each of us.

[Aphrodite801]

Why do that when she could just get a guy who pays it all? 🤔

[Losalt]

@Aphrodite801
Because that wouldn't be equal, and would make the relationship transactional.
I *could* do that, but that wouldn't be fair, and both of us would know that, and it would colour the rest of our relationship.

[Aphrodite801]

🤣🤣🤣 who cares about something being equal when it’s better? There’s no retort for what I said. You guys are funny.

[Aphrodite801]

Plenty of people have a relationship like that now and have no problem with it. Nice fail dude 😂😂

It comes out of our bank account that both our paychecks go into.

[Anonymous]

He pays more but I pay for the groceries and do more of the housework chores (lawn mowing, laundry, we take turns in general house cleaning)

[LazerBean]

We live in a traditional marriage. Our spending money goes in one account that we pay for everything out of. He is definitely the breadwinner though.

[Anonymous]

Some give and some take it is all split up evenly. I think that's why I'm in my relationship for over many decades. I think women give more than they take, they have a heart giving.
