Half on the bills or It's all on him....

[the dukester]

Actually, I volunteer to pay all the bills in my crib. It gives me more "wiggle room" for fuckups, ie, getting caught cheating, potentially losing my job, or other miscellaneous bullshit.

Plus it validates my manhood as the protector and PROVIDER. It's a real life scenario that I imagined as a little boy, that has come to fruition. So whenever I cheat, I don't feel as guilty, because I know I'm holding the fort down and I feel somewhat justified. Kinda like I've EARNED the right to get some outside trim by way of being a great financial provider.

Best way to keep a woman happy is to make sure she feels needed....

As long as she feels her contribution to the house hold bills are absolutely essential, her self worth will soar...

The quickest way to make her feel like you don't need her is to set it up to where her money isn't needed,

A woman is much more likely to seek outside the relationship when she feels unneeded

I don't know if it's so much about feeling needed as it is feeling like it gives you a say in what goes on in the relationship. When men are paying everything and the sole provider, they tend to want to act like their word is gospel and you have no say in anything.

You can feel needed in providing other things like keeping his home, his children, feeding him, being his unpaid secretary..but it's when you're contributing financially that it feels like your say holds some weight.

That said, we would just work it out. He usually paid the rent and I would take care of the monthly bills, but we would step up and help each other when unforeseen issues would come up..car needing work, something breaking and needing replacement, etc.

[BiblicalAtheist]

I prefer to either pay my portion or more, in everything, not just a relationship. I don't like to incur ill will directly or indirectly.

You in a committed relationship

Y'all decide to move in together

Y'all goin Dutch on the bills or should the man take care of all that?

Men, women, wassup?

Never move in with a chick until she has on that ring. So many mfer in some BS because of this. Cant kick the bitch out because you stuck with the bills or you dont feel like going thru the moving process.

Then you still have people that are married and going Dutch with two separate accts. WE are married. Bills get paid first with both of our money. You need to learn some restraint if I cant trust you with money.

I'm in this very predicament right the fuck now

I done felt like leaving so many times but it's like

The furniture mine, I'd have to take that shit

Then I got clothes and shit

The lights in my name

Hell we got 2 phones in my name at t-mobile

Fuck we gon break up and meet up every month to pay the bill?

I might as well marry this bitch

 

[BackInWhite]

Joint account.

*drops mic*

I can't do it

She got 1 time to spend my money on some shit I can't do nothing with and that's it

 

[blacktux]

50/50 until married.

Anything else is madness

i thought women would rather keep their money but want to feel needed in other ways.

 

[2stepz_ahead]

We split everything down the middle in my crib. Except cable. I don't want that shit so I ain't paying for it.

Other than that though, 50/50.

In my experience, most people only want to abide by traditional gender roles when it benefits them.

aaahhhhhaaaaa

 

[_Lefty]

She pay half the rent, I pay everything else. Utilities, groceries, car stuff, cars, gym, vacations. She can have her bread. I make enough, I ain't trippin. Every relationship got roles to fill. They don't have to be traditional all like that, she makes her own money, but she also rules the house like it's her domain. She does most of the cooking, and most of the cleaning. But I do my part too. I also handle the big moves, like savings, retirement for her, who we bank with, loans and stuff like that. I show her a lot of what I do so she can have an idea just incase, and vice versa, we work well together.

The one thing I'll always make sure I do, is no matter how vicious the argument may get, no matter how deep the dispute. I'll never throw me providing in her face. That's a super no no, and some sucka shit if you ask me.

 

[BangEm_Bart]

I mean if I wasn't fucking her right, I'd pay all the bills to compensate for it but I ain't spoiling her with good meat and all bills paid foh.

 

[mryounggun]

@2stepz_ahead What's funny about that? I'm lost.

 

[2stepz_ahead]

it wasn't haha laugh. .it was aha....like get an idea...ahhaaaA

 

[King Erauno]

As of right now because of the circumstances I'm the one in charge of everything. Got a one year old baby so I prefer she stay at home as much as possible(hate the thought of anyone in charge of taking care of my child) but I know that's only temporary I can agree with @DWO to a certain extent... My wife is starting to want to contribute and am ok with it shit am happy but I will still rather be on top of all the bills as much as I can I'm old school too. The extra money she bringing in can be for all of us whatever activity and baby expenses. Also whatever free money I got (and I usually do) I like to see my child has all the necessary and my wife is taken care of with decent approach to that. And is a country for two as she told me the other day and she really feels needed I guess plus I know being home all the time gotta be overwhelming for her so I can work with that I comprehend her.

 

[numbaz...80's baby]

Nah....not in 2016. She better go get some food stamps or something.

 

[K_Fisher]

I pay more stuff as I earn way more , but she gets groceries and small bills. She doing her masters and helps out with my son so am not fussed about money from her.This also works out well for me with taxes n stuff.

Half half would be fair in my opinion; we both using water, lights, gas, heat/ac, ect.

 

[SimplyKrys]

I feel like it's only right to go half and half. I would feel like a mooch if he was paying for everything.
