I dont have to pay more than 50% to feel like a man :skip:

My and my gf put aside $$$ each month for rent, groceries, cable and all that stuff. Whatever is left from the previous month we leave to be.
She makes her money and I make mine.

Girls expecting me to pay for everything and take care of her like that is unsexy as hell. Get your own shyt

If we live together I'm expected that we would go half and split the chores.

If that man is my husband he should pay all of the rent and I help with the utilities.

I don't mind making sure there is a hot meal every night and things are tidy in the house... But it's things he is gonna help me with.

I'm not gonna work and be Molly the maid too.

Bc he is the male and is supposed to and makes more money than me. Splitting is for roommates.

He pays for all or majority of everything and I'll cook and clean.
I wish a bish would try to run this bullshyt on me. :camby:

I'm an amazingly talented cook and can clean for myself, I don't need you for tasks that teenagers are responsible for to get an allowance. That's all these broads aspire for. And most of y'all can't cook shyt which is the crazy part.

American women ain't shyt y'all.

It's def circumstantial...if one party makes significantly more than the other party, you clearly can't go 50/50.

But in the case where both have comparable incomes the answer is 50/50. The woman 'holding down the house' with cooking and cleaning is equated with the man 'holding down the house' with maintenance and other duties. Those gender roles don't conveniently play into the finances as you see fit ladies.



Sidebar: I'm surprised this thread is talking about splitting between a cohabiting man/woman. From the OP I figured this was about child support, since he said many people were saying the man should pay $450. (i.e. The man pays half of everything else plus half of his child's portion of the rent)

If everything is split 50/50 then the man shouldnt fuss about leading the household and think he should have a cooked meal and clean clothes from her daily :manny:

They both should pitch in on holding the house down and paying the bills then.


But if he wants to lead the household, finances shouldn't be split 50/50 since he is in fact the head.

He should pay the rent and half of everything else if thats the case.
So if he is leading the household and paying the rent and half of everything else then is the woman cooking, cleaning and essentially playing susie homemaker?
