Have any of you been in a similar situation? Should I stick to the fact that I'm splitting the bills 50/50? He said he doesn't think its fair for me to pay a lot since he doesn't want me to pay for his house.
Am I setting myself up for never getting married now?   |
Hmmmm.....1st congrats! LOL!
2nd....pay a bill or 2! I did when I moved in with Ray! I payed the cable and the phone bills! And I always made sure there were lots and lots of groceries in the house! Don;t make a house payment for him, unless your name is on the mortgage! You are safe that way! HIS HOUSE...HIS MORTGAGE! When you get married, then it can change! Protect yourself. I have done this, as have most of my friends! It works well! That way, you are contibuting with a few bills, but just don;t make a house payment!!!!!!!!! Since he has probable been living alone for quite some time, I am sure he will apprecaite the fact there is always groceries in the house! (And toilet paper!)Just make it clear, that you will not be cooking all the time though! LOL! And put some of your womanly touches on the place! Some fresh flowers, and some cute new pillows, some new pictures....I am sure he will love it! Ray did!
Good Luck!
