Moving in with boyfriend and Cohabitation agreement

AnnaNd_2

Wow what a debate! It's interesting how many different opinions there are about this kind of situation. This has given me a lot of food for thought. I am not a cold hearted person willing to profit from her own boyfriend nor is he a !!!!!!!!!! so I'm sure we'll be able to discuss it like adults (with wine) and come up with a comfortable arrangement until the time comes to buy together. Thank you all for your invaluable advice. I love this forum!

Will you update us?


We get loads of these, and often never find out what the outcome was. Always helpful when we can link threads for similar future enquiries :beer:

Hi all,
Just thought I'd update you on what we decided in the end.
Boyfriend and I discussed the situation and our concerns and came to a mutual agreement that we will share bills/food 50:50 but that he won't be paying rent. Instead he will set up a savings account in his name as our 'wedding pot' and start putting money into this account every month. Of course if we were to break up he would keep those savings. We also agreed that he will treat me to a nice restaurant and/or city break from time to time This way we are both happy! Thank you all for your ideas and advice on this, really appreciate it!

Maybe get to point where you trust each other completely, and don't have to worry about this stuff. Then you'd be ready to live together.

Don't need advice on my personal life Phil. We are both happy with our arrangement, so no need for negative comments. Have a good day.
