27-year-old girlfriend wants 29-year-old boyfriend to pay $1800 rent by himself while she quits her job for 3 to 6 months: 'She says she’ll pay $0 toward rent or bills, still be on the lease, and have equal say in decisions'

There are very few relationships where both partners make and contribute the same amount financially. That may be the case for couples who met at work in the same position, but chances are, you aren't making the same salary as your partner, and that's okay! You're working together as a team, and that can look like you splitting the bills 50/50 or splitting them 80/20 because one of you is in school and one of you has a cushy corporate job.

If you're making financial moves with your partner, you need to work as a team. That means that every decision you make needs to be made together. If one of you wants to quit your job to become a stay-at-home parent, you both need to figure out if that's the right decision for your family. Maybe it's not, and if so, you need to figure out how to compromise.

The girlfriend in this story does not want to compromise with her boyfriend. She wants to quit her job immediately to take three to six months to “reset,” whatever that means. She expects him to support her through this entire experience, and thinks it's his duty to do so.
