[quote=Anonymous]If you can no longer afford to live there, and your BF doesn’t want to pay a larger portion of the rent, then of course you shouldn’t renew the lease.

Every relationship is different. My DH earns more than me, and when we decided to move in together (with the understanding that we expected to eventually get engaged), we didn’t split the rent equally, because I couldn’t afford to. But that was okay with DH — he really wanted to live in that particular apartment, and there was no resentment about how much I was able to contribute.  I always did my fair share in terms of housework, cooking, etc. and I was a supportive partner in other ways. But obviously if that was a source of stress for him and he had felt taken advantage of, we either would have found a les expensive place, or not moved in together at all.

Your BF isn’t comfortable carrying most of the financial weight, and that’s okay. It’s perfectly reasonable to find a place where you could afford to contribute equally. [/quote]
