'I explained to him that I will not be paying rent. My dad is only charging him.'
subreddit; a place where the OP asks us, the public, to weigh in on if they are indeed being an asshole in their current situation. Let's get into it.Today's edition has to deal with money, rent, and relationships. The OP — who is 24 years old —that she's been dating her boyfriend"Jake" — who is 23 years old — since they were freshmen in college. In their final year of undergrad, they shared an apartment together.
Apparently, Jake's not too happy about this."My boyfriend is mad at me because he asked me for my half of the $400 for rent, and I explained to him that I will not be paying rent. My dad is only charging him. He says that we have been splitting rent for the past two years, so why would we stop now?"OP also pointed out that the $400 Jake's paying is less than what he was paying in their last place.
Naturally, people came in hot with their opinions in the comments. Many pointed out that Jake's already getting"Rent isn’t $400; it’s $2,100. Point out that if he wants to split rent then do so by having your dad charge the full amount, which means his portion is $1,050. Pay your dad that, and dad can give it back to you or put it in escrow to save for a future house. The $400 is a major discount for him, and dad lets you have it for free.
"What is your BF supposed to say here? Is he supposed to be thrilled that your father is treating him like a potential enemy rather than another person who loves his daughter and wants to care for her? I don't think this is really about the money for him, so much as it's insulting to be told the reason he has to pay when you don't is because he's untrustworthy with your heart.
"If this happened to me and my boyfriend, I would offer to split the rent 50/50. And not because my boyfriend would ask it of me, but because I myself would want to. I feel that at a certain point in your relationship, you just want to support each other. If choosing this apartment was a mutual decision, I would honestly say the rent should be split 50/50. No matter what dad wishes .
