I was just browsing on google earlier and saw this thread about a lady in LA asking other yelpers if its out of line for her boyfriend to charge her rent if she lives with him. I was expecting responses saying yeah don't be a deadbeat pay your way and things along those lines but to my surprise almost every response is supporting her saying yeah her boyfriend makes plenty of money why should she pay rent, or let her pay the waterbill and call it a day or that she'll help around the house.
I was shocked to read this. Figured you guys would also get a kick out of it. I truly was shocked by this womens attitude of entitlement as well as the overhwelming support she got. Some idiots even trying to say if she pays rent and utilities for a year she now has some legal claim to his home lol
I've dated some girls like this in the past. I'm cheap and I don't spend shit on girls so there's no reason for any chick to get the impression she's gonna be taken care of or anything along those lines but I've actuallyy had chicks try to get mad at me and or make me feel guilty for spending my own money on shit I want, making comments like oh they could have been taken out to dinner instead of me buying a new gun or whatever else like they have some claim to my money.

My boyfriend of three years who makes over 100K per year,( his last bonus was 13K )and he owns his home, recently offered to let me move in. I am a recently unemployed sales rep, who on average when working makes high 40-mid 50K. My Boyfriend counter offers the move in with "you can pay the same that your paying now to your current roommate, I wouldn't ask you for anymore than that". I calmly said I would think it over, but feel just sick to my stomach. I feel any romance to the situation was out the window, we have spoke of children and getting married someday. Will he turn to me while I am in labor and say " Oh yeah, rents due!". I am not a girlfriend who just takes, for two whole years we went dutch and I still offer to pay and buy things with out being asked. Please also keep in mind I am recently unemployed, where is the helping hand here? OK YELPERS, LET ME HAVE IT...AM I WRONG TO FEEL THIS WAY?
- That's messed up, at least least just make you pay for groceries. He makes plenty as it is.
-If you guys have been talking marriage and kids
he should NOT be asking for rent on a house that's already paid for
I hope you make it clear that there is a charge for allowing his future children to occupy your belly for 9 months.
PLUS a deposit.
- If he wants to charge you rent,
you should charge him to park his car in your vagina.
He owns the home, therefore he is the landlord. If he "charges you rent" there is no question he can throw your ass out if/when the relationship sours. On the other hand, if you "helped him pay on the mortage and utils for years on end"... now the home is part yours. Legally. Oh what a tangled web we weave.
- Dude is extremely selfish. If he were to lose his job. Not only would he be devastated but he would be looking for you to help him emotionally and probably financially. I am guessing you would not want anythin in return because in anloving relationship you are supposed to be there for each other. If everything is going good now and he is liked that, imagine how he will be when things aren't going so well.
- I know exactly where you are coming from! I feel the same way. I am only working part time and have now moved in with my BF the exact same month I began working part time and we calculated the amount I would be helping him with. NOW he owns his own business but the business is real slow right now and he is unable to make all the payments by himself. To date I have not given him any money because I am still working PT but I am sure after I began to start working FT I will have to give my share. Everyone believes that he should carry out the biggest expense of living together which is the mortgage payment - I do buy food all the time but that's about it. So I hope you don't have to pay any mortgage payments, specially if he makes real good $$$.
