He makes 55K, She Makes 35K, RENT: $1700 - He Wants Her To Pay Half

[KyokushinKarateMan]

Assuming he’s paying all the utilities as well, this seems pretty fair. $850mo rent on a $35K salary is manageable

I’m not them.
So it doesn’t matter.

Fair but he needs to cover all of the bills since he's making more

Truth is, they can't afford that place. 500 is probably her max. 800 is his.

 

[Givethanks]

If they both agree

 

[Matt504]

If a woman is paying half, she is a roommate not a lover.

 

[Arris]

Regardless of what either is making its only right to go half on the apartment.

It shouldn't be a matter of right or wrong, only way I'd pay more than her is if she was in school or something trying to further her career and even that isn't likely depending on how long we were together

 

[Solano707]

The way it's worded sounds like she moved in, then sprung it on her asking to pay half... If that's the case he dead ass wrong. If they discussed having her pay half and she agreed prior to moving in, then that shouldn't be a problem. Paying 1,700 is soul crushing on a 55k salary...

 

[YouMadd?]

$1700 rent. That sounds amazing

 

[Scaaar]

I can't speak on them. Whatever works for their situation works for them. But I know from my personal experience once that divorce court showed me I'm never covering all the bills again. She even was making enough to cover her portion when we separated but that's not how the judge saw it. They only saw me paying everything so that kept it that way for a year after we separated

 

[Negro Caesar]

Fair

 

[rocksteady]

what is the nature of their relationship?

 

[GoFlipAPack]

That's fair but he has to pay the utilities or she could pay a 3rd and maybe one of the bills. Also depends on each of their spending habits.

 

[Striving For Greatness]

She better sign up for Uber eats

Here we go with this bullshyt for the 100th time.
