What’s the expectation here? That you get to live for free because you’re banging a guy who owns a house? Alrighty.

My husband literally lives for free because 90% of our income comes from me. His money basically is just our food. So yeah, its unethical to charge your partner rent. Its really weird to view relationships as a business deal where you both give exactly 50 percent. That sounds like roommates who have sex.

Your husband.

That’s commitment and with it comes a lot of decision, one of them whether to keep money separate, pool together or just have one account altogether.

But unless that commitment is made, expecting ither half to be responsible and pay for their shit - unless agreed otherwise beforehand - is to be expexted.

Totally. What makes sense is to have a discussion about it and come to an agreement. Whatever arrangement that feels fair for both of you. You two have an arrangement that works for both of you and you’re both OK with it.

On the other hand just because you two are together doesn’t mean he’s automatically entitled to you paying 90%. That just happens to be something you both landed on and you’re clearly OK with it. Not everyone will be and it’s unfair to expect them to be ok with it.

I don’t think it’s unethical for your partner to chip in. Lying about it on the other hand is.

There is still taxes and maybe other stuff that the owner pays and the renter doesn’t that he would have to cover but yeah I get your point.

All of Britain and maybe other european countries. Apartment or Condo here in North America. Brits have a tendancy to simplify their descriptions. Like it is a “Flat” because the layout living space is typically single floor with no stairs. Or they will do the Hoovering of the flat. Hoover once being the go to brand of vaccum cleaner.
