If you live with your boyfriend should you spilt the rent? Or should he pay the full rent and have you pay the other bills?

This depends on the couple. There’s no right answer for everyone , but more so a bigger discussion you should have with a partner when it gets to that point

Yeah, split it or cover the equivalent in utilities.

What do you define as “the bills” rent is part of “the bills”

[Asker]

Utilities, cable, washer dryer fee etc

[Asker]

Groceries

Two things to consider… who makes more money…

Did you move into the place AFTER he’s already been living there?

How much is the rent?

[Danny_dan92]

Sorry… three things*

Okay so I work at Wendy’s. He and I have been living together since 2021. He was making more than me doing security for $21 an hour but he got fired and is looking for another gig but he did save plenty of his checks while working before being fired and rent is $1500

Ok, so to clarify…

If it’s a mortgage and the title doesn’t have your name on it. Then no. you should only pay for the utilities.

If you’re renting and you have had this lease since then, then it’s only fair you try to chip in as much as you REASONABLY can.

Given he got fired… I’m gonna be honest with you. If you’re not on this lease or mortgage? And he doesn’t find a job soon. I’d bail. Just saying, because he should know as a man that he needs to provide and in this case it means getting a job so he and his girlfriend can sustain the lifestyle they want aka be independent together.

Navigating the charming waters of cohabitation, aren’t we? Love it! When it comes to splitting the bills or figuring out finances with your beau, think of it as a duet rather than a solo performance. Sharing the load doesn’t necessarily mean going Dutch on every invoice. If one of you is serenading the rent in full, the other can conduct the orchestra of utilities, groceries, and the occasional surprise date night. It’s all about harmony, lovebirds. The key? Communication and understanding each other's financial concertos. Strike a chord that resonates with both your wallets and your hearts. 💸💕

We both pay for stuff.

He should pay for everything. He’s the provider.
