    Coz if so, how are you going to feel about paying out a LOT more money while she stays at home, contributing nothing financially?

    But she won't be earning then.

    At the moment, she is earning and has a tenant who more than covers her mortgage on her property but doesn't want to contribute to the house she lives in.

    Bit of an assumption. She should be paying her way, simply as.

    Makes no sense.

    I said is he going to marry her and how is he going to feel when she contributes NOTHING financially.

    And why do you think she should be paying her way? She is his lover/girlfriend, not a bloody flatmate!

    Fun, isn't it, promising to marry a guy so u can freeload off them.

    The point is, they will cross that bridge if and when they come to it. Simples.

    I'm just glad that *I'm* not in a relationship where my partner is obsessing over how much more he is paying for stuff. Urgh, what a miserable relationship.

    Is this how you seriously see marriage? OMG.

    Or

    Are you just deliberately taking the p*ss? I said when they get married and they have kids.

    If he is THIS hung up about her paying less now, he may as well walk, and never get into a relationship again.

    I'm quite sure you are? Davecon is not married and does not seem to have kids with this GF.

    No., I said if he is so hung up on his G/F not paying her way now, how is he going to feel if they get married and have kids and she is not paying her way financially!

    I give up! I think everyone is p*ssed on here tonight!

    So if davecon1 had rented out his property and was getting in enough rent to pay his mortgage and a bit extra from them while living with the GF, it would be fair that she should pay all the mortgage on their home, all the utility bills and maintenance while he just gave her a contribution towards the food bill?

    Are you actually serious? Are you saying that having a boyfriend/girlfriend means you shouldn't have to pay your way? Or does it only apply to women, because they can sit pretty and flutter their eyelashes and shouldn't have to do anything as menial as working to live while men should work so they can keep them in jewels and pretty flowers? There's a word for someone like that you know, it's called a golddigger.

    It does make sense, it's obvious I meant simple.

    I have a problem with her freeloading, I wouldn't feel very good if my boyfriend felt it ok to not contribute to the running of a household.
