It may be hard to remember, but there was a time where you could have people over to your house for a visit. Friends, families, even lovers. It was fun, but don’t forget it caused plenty of problems, like this one.
One Redditor recently asked if he was wrong for asking his girlfriend to start contributing to the bills—because she’s staying over three or four nights a week.
“I (28M) have been with my girlfriend (22F) for about a year now and things have been going really well up until recently. We live in separate apartments and were spending about one night a week together at my place, but recently it has turned into three or four nights a week.
Now, don’t get me wrong… I love having my girlfriend sleepover and I could even see us living together one day… However, when I asked her to start paying $24 each night she stays over, she got really upset. I explained that all of my utility bills have gone up significantly since she started staying over more and that $24 for one night in an $1800/mo apartment is a great deal. Heck, I wish I got to live in my apartment for that little.
I’m afraid of ending up in a relationship where bills aren’t split equally and I don’t want to be with someone who just sees me as a meal ticket”
It doesn’t seem like much to ask, but the guy is getting dragged pretty good online. What do you think? Is he a Loser for asking her to pay up, or a Legend for not letting her walk all over him? -OR- is she a loser for being a mooch, or a legend for living that mooch life?
