He mentioned it offhand the other day while we were apartment hunting and I was so taken aback I couldn’t even respond.

I’ve lived with partners before and we’ve always split the rent it by percentage of our salary, while contributing equally to household expenses.

While most people find they save money when they move in with a partner, I’d actually be spending more than what I currently pay for my apartment due to rent prices increasing in the area and the fact he wants things I don’t want or need (guest bedroom, office space, garden).

I currently pay $600pm for rent and he’s looking at places around $2000pm - $2500pm. So double what I currently pay. I can technically afford it, but would have to budget super strictly every month. I don’t know if it’s worth it for me.

I don’t want him to feel like I’m using him for his money (we’ve been together for 3 years and I’ve been with him since he made peanuts so that would be weird) but I also want him to understand that his perception of how we should split the rent is totally unfeasible.

As much as I want to live with him and see a future with him, this makes it really difficult to give up my tiny (and affordable) apartment.
