re: Does your non-married significant other split living expenses 50/50 with you?

So she gets to live in a house, pay less than what her rent used to be per month to stay there, and people think that HE is trying to screw HER over? She is absolutely taking advantage of him. Helping with the mortgage shouldn't be seen by her as paying for a house but with none of the benefits. She should just see it as a form of rent while she gets to stay with her significant other in a nicer, larger spot than her old apartment.

As someone in a relationship I would not attempt to profit off of my SO. Maybe that means that I'm being taken advantage of, but at this point anything that she contributes is more than he's receiving now. She's offering to pay for some bills, and his house isn't becoming more expensive just because she moves in. He's coming out ahead in this scenario either way.
I also make considerably more than my SO, and paid her way through graduate school while she did not work. If you go into a relationship with the 50/50 mindset, then you are going into a business partnership and not a relationship.
ETA: I've also never been in a serious relationship where I was making similar money to me SO, if that was ever the case maybe I would look at it differently, but I don't have experience with that.
