Should by boyfriend contribute to living expenses if he moves in with my sister and me?

Question

My sister and I own a house together. My boyfriend stays 5 out of 7 nights and lives at his parents house the rest of the week. Its been a year and half together I asked him to move in with me completely. Should he contribute to living expenses? If so, how much? last time I asked him to help out he told me why its already paid for.

Answer 1

Obviously he is happy in his situation where he doesn't have to pay anything. He's letting you know that he is okay with the arrangements he has now. If he moves in. YOU would be forking up his part of the rent.

Answer 2

I think this is a joke question but if it's not yes you should .

Answer 3

For one and a half years you have been providing free board and lodging for him at least for five days in a week.When that is the case how can you ask him to share the rent and living expenses having asked him to move in on your own. If he is a person with an iota of self respect he should have offered his share on his own.When you made the suggestion for a contribution he simply avoided the issue .This clearly shows that he is a Parasite. Is it worth the trouble to live with such a gutless spineless character.?

Answer 4

Yes he definitely should! It's now his place, too

Answer 5

Are you actually serious?

Answer 6

Yes.He should a third (1/3) for all costs.Thats rent and utilities.He pays his share.

Answer 7

If someone shares an apartment with two others, why shouldn't they pay a third of the expenses ?



I don't know either.

Answer 8

just charge him for sex

Answer 9

Of course he should contribute

utilities will be more, food bills will be more

If i were your sister I wouldnt be happy at subsidising a grown man who has no self respect and happy to mooch

He is a freeloader, his answer that its already paid for questions if he is an adult or a younger teen



**EDIT**

After reading your other questions

Is this the 27 year old unemployed guy?

if it is, wow you made great choices there!

Answer 10

Yes, basically. Presuming you don’t want a leech living with you.

Answer 11

Tell him to pay up, or boot the freeloader out.

Answer 12

Yes

Answer 13

Yes he should contribute, so what if the house is paid for you still need to pay utilities and meals/snacks.

Answer 14

Basically he wants to be kept, not only by you but also by your sister.



Wow. What a winner.



He shouldn't just contribute when he 'completely' moves in, he should be contributing NOW. He's basically already living there and only visiting his parents two nights a week.

Answer 15

the short answer is YES of course he does live there.

Answer 16

He most definitely should be contributing, but this is something you should have addressed when he first started living with you and your sister. So sit down with him and your sister, and discuss this.

Answer 17

He should pay 50%, since presumably he’s an equal partner. If he doesn’t agree, then don’t let him come and live with you. Simple as that.
