[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op I understand that you dont want to seem like youre using him for money however the fact of the matter is that you two are living together. You are sharing a home and a life.

As this is the case I believe you should be sharing the household bills 50/50.

I'm not asking him to pay for your childs soccer practice or band camp, mind you.

Im asking him to contribut the following to the household expenses:

Half of mortgage
Half of cable/electric/gas/water/sewer/trash
1/2 of food

The thing that really ticks me off about this fiance of yours is that he clearly makes alot more than you do yet pays alot less of the communal bills. [b]If he truly loevd you then he would not have thought twice over paying the god damn utility bill that one time. [/b]

You know what I need to go now because Im getting really freaking upset about how you are being treated by him.

Please put your foot down. Demand 50/50. If you dont do this now things will go down hill from here.[/quote]

When DH and I were engaged, I paid his way through school. After that, he paid 100% of the expenses until we got married to "pay me back" (I didn't ask for this, he did it because he's a good guy). We got married a year later, and we pool all our money now -- we both pay for everything (and our "fun money" each month is 50/50, too). That's how it works in a true partnership.[/quote]
