How do you managed Finances between couples
Me and my bf have been dated about a year now and thinking to move in together. Our salaries are in similar numbers but I’m making more moment at this moment.
Our main cost - usual dine-outs, we takes turns paying, anniversary or special days he pays. We’re open about money so if he feels too much, he will ask me to pay.
For vacation, 50/50.
So now we’re living in different apartments and my rent is about 900 RM and his is about 600 RM because he’s live in kajang area, rent is cheaper.
For food/groceries, I dont eat much. Mostly I eat out.
BF he also eat out. We dont cook everyday.
We recently joint bought a car and we’re splitting evenly to pay for it. I will contribute gas money if we actually using together.
I don’t want to do exact 50/50 on everything or calculating every coins we spend and split. So I bring up the matter to him to fully pay for groceries and we will split 50/50 on rent, petrol, etc not including our own dine-out.
After that, he said he will think things through. His past rs, he was fully providing and that was difficult time for him so I want to lessen his loads. I’m wondering if I’m making unreasonable demands or is it too early to move-in together if we cant work this out? Please provide suggestions/ please dont angry at me, my heart is weak.
