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

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 :shaq2:

It's circumstantial. Do they have kids? Is he rich? Did she save his life? In short if it is a financial burden for him and/or they do not have kids yes she should help out with some of the bills. But if she has kids or his living costs are negligible compared to his income I don't see the issue. But the fact that this is a discussion doesn't bode well for your bro :francis: If a chick moves out and the first thing she tries to do is live for free that's a bad sign. Also depends on who wanted it. If he really wanted her to move in then it's on him to make it work financially. But if it was mutual or if she was pushing for it yes she should help out. This is pretty much why you should have your sh*t right before shacking up with a chick, this discussion shouldn't really come up in a relationship.

Honestly, if I'm in a relationship my woman, it wouldnt feel right to have her paying rent and utilities. As a man, it just doesnt feel right. However, she would be buying all the things needed for the house, including groceries. Furthermore, she would be cooking and cleaning.

A question for the folks in this thread though: what if you and your significant other was splitting the rent, and then this person lost their job? What would you do?


Im 22, got my own car/apartment/ etc but this is outdated thinking. Its hard enough out here to be on some "Oh im a man, i can handle all the financial responsibility!"

At least for me down the line i would want my lady to pay something. And are me and here combing (at least some of) our income?

I know women who dont make a lot of $$ and women who do. Some dont mind going half and some knowingly finesse this game of life just bc they're women:yeshrug:

Moving in before marriage is a bad move on the woman's end to begin with, she better at least be engaged. But anyway, If you're planning on going this route I don't get why she wouldn't be expected to help with the rent or at least a bill or two. And I'm not ashamed at all
:heh:

a couple million californians who a lot of them make more than you :gucci: what kinda dumbass statement is this :gucci:

Hope you don't have kids. Imagine having nothing to pass down to them? :francis:

But basically, everything is overpriced and that's the sign that America will go through another economic downturn soon. High prices, low wages, no one is willing to buy = depression.

:gucci: who said those people will never own anything eventually but in the mean time they rent til they save up enough to get their own

someones current situation (renting) does not mean itll always be their future situation (mortgage)

why does this have to be explained :gucci:

Where I'm from, it is a status symbol to be in a position where your girlfriend/wife is able to stay at home and take care of the house. It says "I make enough money that I'm able to carry all the expenses and take care of a family without a second income."

With that said, this idea is sometimes ludicrous to certain black folks because financially they are just not on that wave. Most of us are in a financially precarious situation. So it's just a different mentality. For those black folk, they should do whatever is financially sound for them. If that means sharing the cost with their significant other, then they should do so without any shame. :troll:
