I am 31 and my girlfriend is 26. I have a paid off house and vehicle. My 8 year old daughter lives with me full time (not hers). We been together for almost 4 years and she's lived her pretty much 3 years. I am in between jobs, still make money through investments and online, and she now works as a receptionist at a law firm training her for paralegal. She makes around 2k/month. The only bill she pays, which she started to when she got this new job 2 months ago, is DirecTV. She gives me $150, the bill is $170 (I know I'm getting screwed). Been looking into other alternatives and decided SlingTV. I mentioned with switching we cut the TV bill in over half and she can pick up the Internet bill and still be a little less than $150. Her response was "I can't pay all this stuff a month. I have my own bills to take care of." Which I responded "so do I. Which I've been paying my own way since I was 19. Where is the benefit for me to switch from DTV to SlingTV? I'll just keep maxed out DTV because this doesn't help any if we switch just helps you" Then I went on to talk about how everyone I know and their girlfriend split bills 50/50. This really bothers me I pay the utilities, Internet, groceries, anytime we go out to eat, when we bring food home 95% I pay, we go on vacation I always pay unless she it's like a concert she wants to go to in turn she buys the tickets.
She's a sweet and awesome woman but this irks me beyond belief. She doesn't take into consideration "my bills" I pay on top of the house which is insurances, property taxes, daughters after school weekly fee, etc.
