B has teenagers that will be going to college in 5 years.
How does it make it fair that the person with kids pays all the household expenses? Especially when the other person makes twice what the other person makes?
Person A has significant income with no bills. Not even rent now apparently.
Person B has a low salary and all the expenses with no money to spare. Which B was putting up with up until this morning when A complained B does not pay when going out. Not because B does not want to, but because B is completely out of money. I am sure A has plenty of money sitting in their account.
Are you serious? They are YOUR KIDS. YOUR HOUSE.
How is it your boyfriend's fault that you are over your head in your big house and expensive car and two teenagers and their needs?
The house is not big. The car payment is $300. So large for me but not large in the terms of other car payments.
Thank you. I will just bit my tongue and just keep paying the bills. I will just honestly tell him I can't afford to go out and will stay home. The house is my responsibility for sure. But I was hoping a roommate would be a help and not another dependent. My mistake. Hopefully he won't resent me not paying if I am not costing him more when he goes out.
Yes, when the kids are gone, and the only two people residing in that house are the two of you, he should pay half.
In ANY roommate situation, I would not want to pay for half of a house if there were four people living there.
I would agree if all four roommates contributed, but two are completely dependent. A already knew B was struggling to pay all the expenses.
When a couple discusses marriage, one does not expect that one party wants to be a mooch, even though they have substantial income to cover their expenses and much more.

Those are not his kids. It doesn't matter if they can't pay up. You are their mother, and therefore responsible for their care.
Sorry, but I believe you've got the mooch under the wrong letter.

I don't know how you got that when that's certainly not how the expense flow is being split
