How do you guys split the household bills- rent/mortgage, food etc etc if you're other half earns so much more than you?
My BF ( together for 10 years) earns 5x my salary for the same hrs worked. We split everything 50/50. We never really talked about it and I guess at the start I thought it was fair to share. But now everything has gone up so much I'm literally left with nothing each month while he has tonnes ofspare cash. I know it sounds ungrateful and spoilt brat like , but it seriously getting me down. When he goes and does activiies or buys anything he wants and I can't even buy a new bra from primark without scraping coins together. He's not selfish or greedy and would probably feel terrible if he knew how i felt and its for that reason I can't seem to say anything. Why should he have to pay more. Or am I being a martyr? Do you guys split bills evenly when there's a big pay difference?

Bloody hell he saw you coming didn’t he?

  • You pay half the household bills allowing him to hoard his higher earnings.
  • You look after his kids for him.
  • You’re his domestic maid.
  • You pay for half of his expensive food stuff and supplements that you don’t even eat, leaving yourself with not enough money for a primary bra.
  • You have sex with him.
  • You still say he’s a lovely person

He really did fall on his feet with you didn’t he?

Please consider carefully what you give and what you take from this relationship. He knows exactly what you give and what you’re left with, and he’s not a lovely person at all. Open your eyes - he’s a loser and a user who sees parenting his children as a job for his female skivvy.
