In this story, a woman started having second thoughts about moving in with her fiancé after he demanded that over half of her teenage son's social security survivor benefits went towards their rent in their new home. He reasoned that as they were going to be living together, it was only fair to share expenses.
However, the mom felt like her son deserved control over his finances and that this money should be reserved for him to spend and save, as was the arrangement currently. This led to a disagreement with her partner, and she wanted to know if she was in the wrong.
AITA for not wanting my boyfriend to factor my son's survivor benefits into our new household budget?
