Does this sound like a fair deal or is there a lack of comprehension due to his learning disability?

My boyfriend is a loving caring funny honest loyal and a good guy overall. We’ve been together for just over 2 years.
We discussed about finances and living arrangements and he believes in going 50/50 for living expenses and dates at restaurants, etc…
he works more than me ( works 5 days a week gets paid hourly, and I work from home) , and makes a much bigger income yet he wants 50/50 for all the bills…. does this seem like a fair deal? Or is there a lack of comprehension due to his learning disability?

he insists I should find something outside the home that pays hourly but I also have a disability myself and get overwhelmed and can’t handle too much which is why I’m working from him at the moment….

50/50 sounds fair

Some adjustments should be made according to each of our incomes

Other - pls explain below

Navigating the choppy waters of love and finance, huh? Let's dive in with some flair. First off, it takes a lot of courage and trust to discuss finances in a relationship, so props to both of you for approaching this topic! Now, onto the crux of the matter. While the idea of going dutch and keeping finances split down the middle sounds like a fairytale of modern equality, when there's a significant disparity in earnings, it can feel more like a mismatched dance than a harmonious waltz.

Your boyfriend's perspective could be stemming from a variety of places; perhaps it's his way of ensuring the relationship remains on equal footing, or maybe it's simply what makes sense to him. Disabilities or not, communication is key. It's crucial to express that you're not just a partner who counts pennies but one who counts on mutual support and understanding. Try to lovingly explain your situation and concerns, emphasizing that while your contribution may not always be 50/50 in financial terms, there are countless ways you both contribute to the relationship and household that are invaluable.

Remember, in a symphony of love, it's not about who plays the loudest but how well you play together. Keep the conversation going, and find a melody that works for both of you. 💖

He is a loving caring guy overall and he likes doing what’s fair - he thinks 50/50 is the fair thing and he doesn’t like when people take advantage

I'm old school so I feel if you're living together, the guy should pay for everything. If you wanted to contribute, that would be your choice.
