Moving in with a partner is a big step in any relationship, but it can come with many challenges, especially when it comes to sharing expenses. One Reddit user, a second year pathology resident, recently took to the platform to seek input on a disagreement he’s having with his girlfriend over rent. The couple is looking for a new place to live and while he makes less than his girlfriend, he believes she should pay more because she uses one of the rooms as an office. However, his girlfriend thinks it’s unfair to pay more when they are already paying extra to live near his work. The post has received over 15,000 upvotes and hundreds of comments, with many weighing in on whether he’s being reasonable or selfish. Read on to find out more and to share your thoughts.

Splitting rent with a partner: is it fair or selfish?

Moving in with your significant other can be an exciting step in your relationship, but it can also lead to disagreements about money. This couple is struggling to agree on how to split the rent for their new apartment. With a significant income difference and one partner needing an office space, tensions are high. The partner making less money argues that the other should pay more, while the other argues that they should split everything evenly since they are both benefiting from the location. Is one partner being selfish or is the other being unreasonable? Read on to learn more about this couple’s dilemma and how they can work towards a fair resolution.
