Co-Habitation With Your Significant Other.

I don't think that thought even crosses my mind. I usually pay for what I can pay and she pays for whatever she can pay. If she makes more money at the time, she sucks most of the rent, if I make more money I suck most of the rent. We don't even have to ask each other, it just works.

She's living there, she pays half of the mortgage and gets a few of the bills. Simple as that.

It seems simple, but I feel it's anything but that.

Is she entitled to some fraction of your home's worth given that she's contributed to the equity that has built into your home?

Been living with my girl over a year. It's been amazing the whole time. We splint rent and utilities/services, but I pay for the food/dates/alcohol, most of the time.

She takes care of the 'ndo

Y'all live in an apartment y'all don't own though (pardon the presumption). I feel like that makes things easier... :lol:

If so, wouldn't that whole process take care of itself?

If not, so she paid rent for a few months...no equity.

As a dude, would you move into your girl's house and pay her mortgage with no guarantees that the home would someday be in your name too?

I probably wouldn't.
I'm petty like that though.

If i legit see long term future with kids and marriage and all that good stuff...then maybe.

Chances are I won't feel like that about anyone, so I'd say no.
 
Nah, don't do it. Only time would be if it's for sure going to be your wife. You date someone you're going to have a ton of sleepovers so that should give you some context, no need to dive all the way in unless it's very clear she's it. Seen enough grown *** men end up assed out looking like suckers.
 
It works for me.

We share a 1 bedroom apartment. 

We share the bills 50/50. 

I save SO much compared to when I lived alone. 

We are both minimalists, so space and stuff isn't an issue. 

We get along, so no issues there. 

Ultimately I think it is a case by case basis that will determine if it will work or not.

Unless there's a big disparity with income, men should go at least 60%.

It's one of the ways you exert your dominance over a woman.

In my situation exerting my dominance isn't necessary, but thank you for the input

Maybe if you're compensating for something.

Like inability to impregnate.

lol at someone not kicking you some chips just because they don't own the house

if you need a lil help she should help

shouldn't be half unless you're getting married but a portion like 1/3 or 1/4 wouldn't hurt

she's also being helped by having somewhere to sleep
 
Been living with my girl for almost a year.

I bought a crib while we were dating and she needed somewhere to stay so I had her move in, for what was supposed to be a couple of months.

Being that it's my crib I paid about 100% of the bills and let her cover groceries. I've recently let up a bit because it's been a year and clearly she isn't going anywhere so now she helps with gas and water. Mortgage, home repairs and anything home related is still mine.

I hate to say I do it for dominance but there is some peace of mind knowing that if **** go south I can say ***** with no remorse.

The first couple months with her at my spot were difficult but they've since gotten better. I really wish I would've waited a bit longer, because I honestly never got to enjoy my crib as a single man but otherwise I've learned a lot and I'm thankful to have my most serious relationship thus far.


I will say if I don't marry this chick I will probably never have another GF live with me until we are married. Sharing space isn't always the easiest.

This is exactly how my situation is. At first things were tough but we're good now
 
i wouldn't marry a girl i didn't live with for at least a year. that said, the thought of a girl moving in with me right now would really ******* cramp my style :lol:

i started out by living with my girl who was my friend like 5 years ago, i was going through some rough times and she had an extra room.

a couple of years later we have a home and moved across the U.S.

shes awesome she cooks cleans and has her ish together, you gotta know the person you are planning to make a big commitment like that with,

you just cant go by well shes my girl and all my friends live with their girls etc..

when we first lived together i lived in her spare room, and as time went on we became closer and then that room became the spare room again with my music equipment.

at our house we have 2 extra rooms and one is my music room and the other is an office type room.
 
Before we were married living in the house I bought prior to her I paid for everything besides groceries. She handled cooking, cleaning, and if she wanted to change decor or paint colors it was on her.

After a couple years of that we married and bought a house together and at that point we had joint accounts. She handles all the bills but I make about 5x what she does so I pay most but it's our money so it's one in the same.

She's pretty good with managing money she handles the bills for our house as well as our new vacation condo that we will close on next week and all the expenses with our rental properties.

I just work, fix everything that breaks, and deal with the tenant issues.

I have lived with a couple women over the years, I would never get married before I lived with someone. My wife was the only one that after living with for more than a month I didn't want drive my car off a cliff.
 
Mortgage should be 50/50.

Truth is, a house is an expense, not necessarily an investment. If I owned a house, I would require my wife/girl to pay half of the mortgage and bills. In turn she does not have to pay property tax. When she divorces me, best believe the court is giving her half of my house.
