Your girl just moved in with you...

[luciddreamer]

Sheesh, seems like living solo is a great choice these days...

Finance is almost always a sticky situation when it comes to ANY marriage, relationship, etc...

To the question, people will debate this until they're blue in the face, imo there isn't any right or wrong way, just do what u want and feels comfortable on both ends... and if it doesn't pan out...hey.... keep it moving. ..lesson learned....

Que sera sera

Lately I've seen a huge backlash among black women when it comes to splitting bills. Like, they are starting to feel like they shouldn't have to pay anything unless they want to. A chick on Facebook was talking about how in her marriage to an older white man (which failed by the way) he paid everything because his grandparents told him if a woman had to help that meant he wasn't really a man. I'm sure his grand-pappy told him not to have mulatto children with a black woman either. Of course all the women were liking her comment.

I can handle rent and utilities as long as the pantry and fridge stay full and miscellaneous nuisance bills (phone, cable, various household needs) are taken care of. That comes to about a 60/40 or 65/35 arrangement depending.

Kind of how I feel about it too. And this would have to be a marriage-in-the-next-18-months type arrangement. If she's keeping the fridge stocked, covering cable and miscellaneous shyt, she's good. If this is on some young, roommate shyt she's gotta pay half though.

She's paying her proportion of her wages compared to mine, if we make the same bills split down the middle, if I make more I'll pay a little bit more obviously

You gotta work, we ain't in the 60's anymore, put some bread up or get out, yall nikkas out there paying for all the shyt shouldn't be surprised when the poolboy

digging out them guts while you at work slaving away, staying home is lazy, if that's your life aspiration as a woman you lost all in the sauce

I've never done strictly half, but it's always been split up based on salary.

Straight lazy, wouldn't even wanna come home and fukk my wife knowing she been twiddling her fingers all day, watching reality TV and cooking bullshyt. There's nothing attractive about a lazy ass woman in 2017 breh. This shyt don't really fly. p*ssy been marinating all day on the couch and shyt, no kind of exercise, goals or focus. Keep that.

 

[GreenGhxst]

what kind of grown man would make his girl pay rent in a crib he asked her to move into

and 20+ nikkas dapped this, I'm appalled

simps coming hard in 2017

 

[↓R↑LYB]

If she wants to pay I'm not gonna stop her, but I wouldn't require it. Now if she's adding bills then she gotta pay that shyt on her own

 

[Booker T Garvey]

me and my old lady split everything down the middle. everything, utilities and rent.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

bytch better have my $

 

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

Your name on the lease, you pay the shyt like you've been doing

 

[duncanthetall]

Why shouldn't she have to pay half? She's in there using utilities and eating up stuff

Dap undap dap rep

 

[BocaRear]

I personally wouldn't expect a woman to pay for any of the bills/utilities because that shyt is frowned upon in my culture

BUT, however I expect a woman to attend to her roles also

 

[Cynic]

does she HAVE to pay half of rent or a bill?

Would you let her skate with just cooking and taking care of the place?

Edit: she does have a job and takes care of things around the house

Edit: asking because my bro bout to have his girl move in with him and I'm just tryna to make sure I'm not in the wrong by telling him that he should have pay half cause she using half

Would never live with a woman unless she was my wife and I'm team GMB.

Plus I own where I live so ....

 

[Critical Distance]

i dont mind minor contributions but i'll handle all the real bills. i wouldnt want her to fukk around and think its equal and she actually has a real say so about anything

 

[JOHN.KOOL]

She has to contribute ram in some way. If he is handling the rent then she should take care of the shopping for the house.
