He figured this was better than demanding they split their bills 50-50, even though his fiancée and her daughter take up most of the apartment.
However, his fiancée threw him a curveball when she asked if she could add her house mortgage to their shared expenses.
“I told her I’d be open to it but that she needed to be aware that co-mingling our funds to pay the mortgage would make her house a joint asset,” he recalled.
“I also said that if I didn’t have a stake in the property, I wasn’t interested in paying any bills for it.”
Suddenly, his fiancée became very defensive and said she wouldn’t be able to pay off her debts as easily if they stuck to his plan and told him he should pay more than 59% of their bills.
“I was surprised and a little appalled, particularly since she knows I’m carrying substantial debt as well,” he added.
Is he being unreasonable with his financial plan, or is his fiancée the unreasonable one?
