How much should the man pay?

[Patrick Kane]

See when you're a man and a KING, you're not even worried about what if you break up.

As a King you're always supposed be able to get your weight up. We can get out here and get it off the muscle.

I've broken up with women after I've paid the rent, furnished the place, paid the bill, bought them big tv's, bought them cars...and when I left only took my clothes and music. That shyt was no sweat because I know as a man I can start over again and again. Do it even better each time!

See that's grown man, King, status.

Plus because I handle it like a boss, when I see her yesrs down the line I can still fukk at will.

Women like power and what I display is power.

You don't really believe all that bruh. That "I'm a man" and a "KING" talk is just to make yourself feel better cause you were tore up when it didn't work out and you paid for all that shyt. It's all good bruh, it happens to the best of us to talk about some KING shyt after spending thousands of dollars on women you are no longer with, ain't no king shyt about that unless you're a millionaire. My nikka, you had to go out and work HOURS to recover from the losses you took. Paying for shyt doesn't make you powerful bruh.

Top 3 dumbest shyt I've read in Coli.

This nikka think simping is showing power. Power is when you can get what you want without doing lol that dumb shyt.

Talking about bout you a boss. Guess what, bosses don't invest in losing or depreciating assets

How old are you...

 

[Dzali OG]

No anger at you jits because I was a jit once. Hell I grew up off Too Short, JT Money and all that "fukk a bytch" shyt. I was #hoh in the 90's.

When you get older and realize the black males role you might understand.

We often complain about white supremacy and bedwenching, but us living like boys for so long doesn't help.

See as a man...material possesions ain't shyt. Well if you're a man who can go out and get it. It's sort of that "crash a car and get another" shyt. As a man you make moves to where money is continuously flowing in.

When I left a woman all that of course I had my own car too. I might buy her a 2-3 thousand dollar car. Not talking a corvette or some shyt!

Leaving and taking shyt is feminine too me. Half the time readon I'm leaving is because I'm fukking outside p*ssy. I got money to get my own crib and furnish that bytch. So why act feminine and try to harm the broad?

Wait...

Oh you guys were the one cheated on and dogged! See I haven't experienced that!

 

[SadimirPutin]

Ok so that means that the "king" will be spending all his money paying for everything and the "queen" is just paying cable/internet (if that) and maybe water/sanitation and pocketing the rest of her money. When shyt goes south due to irreconcilable differences or she cheating because she found another man attractive or she bored because u always working and need to be entertained...u gonna be fuked cuz u damn near broke paying for nearly everything and she will be well off cuz of all she saved by her having such little if any bills and some other sucka/simp will be her sponsor. Yeah OK...

these cats love being marks for these women

Cooking and cleaning doesn't sound like 50% of the work here

Cooking and cleaning everyday, 7 days per week, plus spending all day chasing and cleaning up after kids, trying to teach them, taking care of the house and running errands vs. working 9 to 5 with time after work plus weekends off.

Unless you are married to a doctor, ceo or a lawyer this isn't happening in 2017.

That is the only way I'd get married.

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)

Absolutely not.

Cooking and cleaning is an everyday thing, those "maintenance" things are not. The sink breaking ect only happens once in a while, and when it does people call plumbers, or when there's something wrong with the tv, people call the cable guy, when the lawn needs mowed pple call the mexicans. Males don't do anything but take out the trash and that is still only once per week.

Most males these days don't even know how to change their own oil or tire. lol @ you thinking they'd know how to fix sinks ect.

Where do ya'll get this stuff from?

Me and my wife put all of our money into a joint account and go from there (including having our own separate spending money put in our own accounts). And that works out just fine for us. No talk of being roommates or any of that nonsense.

The best way for a household to survive is for both to contribute where they best can, irrespective to who/what you are. Not to obligate a man to pay the lion's share just to earn his title as head. That's how contempt is built.

That's not the same as 50/50, especially if you make more than her. They are talking about keeping everything separate

That divorce (if it happens) seems like it's going to be very messy. Good luck

I'd legit pay for all of @Giselle and @PartyHeart shyt until they're 5-10 years out of the labor force, then drop their asses and tell them to go turn tricks when they're

Now THAT would be worth $900 a month

I guess you forgot about getting half in the divorce plus alimony

who's gonna fix the toilet when its clogged or the sink when its faucet is leaking?
whos gonna take out the trash and mow the lawn if one is present?
who finna shovel the snow?
nikkas can cook, and many of us cook better than yall
we can do laundry too ...thats not an issue. But its better we combine loads to save on hydro
who's gonna put together new furniture / mount the TV, hang paintings etc?

girls love to act like cooking/cleaning is difficult. come on man.

you're paying half. stop crying


good system

A plumber. Most males these days don't know how to fix things. Don't know how to change a tire nor oil. There was a whole thread on this.

Males are supposed to take out the trash (once per week) cooking and cleaning is every single day. The lawn gets mowed by the mexicans who mow everyone else in the the community's lawn.
The mexicans shovel the snow as well. Where do you people live? lol
The people who deliver the furniture put it together including mounting the television. Hanging paintings is nothing for a woman, just like decorating the rest of the house.

I'm not paying half. Whoever you're with may though, but not me.

I'm confused. You're not doing all that unless you're a stay at home mom. In that case he's paying for everything by default. Were not talking about that. Before you pop out kids and a man doesn't need you to cook or clean shyt you need to be contributing half. You're playing stupid operating under the assumption a man need you for all those things or won't be contributing to the kids the same level as you. It's pathetic you strive to be nothing more than a nanny who gives head every once in a while.

Cooking and cleaning are everyday menial tasks. Maintenance items are not but can happen at any time and can take much longer than preparing a meal. It's not just fixing the sink, it's plunging the toilet, mowing the lawn, shoveling the driveway, getting your car fixed, building a shelf, moving that piece of furniture back to where it was before you asked me to move it to its present location (), killing that spider, etc.

You gonna get the next spider, or nah?

See my post after that I wasn't taking kids into consideration. If you're a full-time housewife with kids then obviously the man should be taking care of the bills. Post in OP is too unclear though, too black and white

 

[Actually6Foot3]

these answer prove why most women are single and bitter. Men aren't falling for the swindle.

If cooking and cleaning was so difficult men would be lining up to marry chics so they could take over the duties. But as we can all see Men's interest in marriage is on the downfall. We can cook and clean for ourselves. These chics just want a free ride

900.00 rent? Where they live? A trailer?

Actually she makes a little more than me. But I have the better benefits so all that also comes out of my check.

Furthermore, we don't plan for a divorce. We plan as if everything is going to workout. I wouldn't have gotten married in the first place if I was thinking like that. But I guess I see the difference in what we do vs. what y'all are calling 50/50. But the reality is that this stuff shouldn't be set in stone. It should be determined based on the situation.

If two people are both working and making near the same amount, the distibution of money toward bills shouldn't matter. If one is making significantly more than the other, then I think the two need to figure out what makes sense financially. But I guarantee if the man isn't the one making significantly more, and he's being asked to take care of a larger share... that marriage isn't gonna last. Because the moment he's short on cash and she walks in the door with a couple bags from Barney's... He's gonna start resenting her. Either you're in it together or you're not (if you're actually married and not just dating).

 

[SadimirPutin]

the idea that a couple is in a partnership where one is keeping most of their disposable while the other is covering the majority of the costs is so funny that I am not sure some of you have read what you have written

 

[Born2BKing]

I would pay the rent, and chip in a little of the 450.

As a man should, but these new nikkas is on some bu bu but we are equal as women type shyt. NO WE'RE NOT, BE A fukkING MAN.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

If you are married then it shouldn't be a question of who pays what. Money should be pooled together and bills should be paid.

If you are just dating. Rent should be paid by whoever is on the lease, bills should be split in half.

I agree men need to step up and be men but like some said on here...a man should pay rent/mortgage only if he married. Another thing, u got niqqas nowadays who work very low paying jobs and cant afford to even go halfway and u got situations where some aren't even working and staying home all day, smoking, drinking and playing video games but those types be the ones to pull women. I don't get it.

But my issue is that women do need to contribute something or if the man pays for everything...she need to be ok with living life on a lower scale. I had a woman who wanted me to pay for everything but she looked down on renting, living in a townhome or a starter home. How you gonna not bring anything to the table financially and have expensive tastes?

Then if u and ur girl both making 60K and you paying for everything or a huge majority of the bills...how is it fair that she pocking all her money and u almost broke because u paying for everything and u wont have anything to save? Then what u do when unplanned shyt comes up and u don't have any money? What if she leaves u for another man and she has an account full of money and u broke because u paid for everything? How u gonna make it? Some don't have the luxury to move back in with parents or stay with their homeboys or other family.

I think relationships are better when both parties contribute financially. If both parties bring value....they both have a reason to stay and it shows that she is at least willing to show effort and that she cares about you. I told my ex finace I am willing to do 60/40 or even a 70/30 of all bills until I get a much more high paying managerial job where I would be comfortable to pay for everything and still save money. Of course she didn't hold up her smaller portion.
