BF Wants His GF To Pay Bills After Making An Irresponsible Purchase

Moving in together can be complicated.

Living with your partner can either be fun and supportive, but on the flip side of the coin, it can have an array of problems. However, these are manageable issues. For example, both you and your partner, irrespective of whatever you earn, always need to manage your finances to such a degree that the rent, groceries, and other expenses should be split two-way. That would also signify that you’re both equally invested in the relationship. It also shows that both parties are ready to take up responsibilities equally. Financial issues are often taken lightly but they can stir up some drama and several other issues in the long run. For example, while you work overtime just to get through the rent and other important expenses, your partner spends a large sum of money on something very irrelevant, and unnecessary. This will lead to arguments regarding spending.

In my opinion, the woman is right for arguing about their finances being spent on things that don’t serve any purpose and cripple them financially. She worked two jobs just to support both of them, and it’s only fair if the boyfriend does the same this time. She is right for refusing to pay more.

This is what other Redditors had to say about the incident:
