If its a hubby/commonlaw/family thing,the way its worked for me is,everything is a money stream,it all flows into the family pot,everything for the family comes out of that pot.
To include the dinner check.
If its a boyfriend,everything is in your name(lease's,phone,elec bill etc)you have seperate checking accounts,he pays half,or his fair share depending on the level YOUR job affords you.(meaning,if he is a grease monkey,making min wage,he cant be expected to pay half of your condo fee's)
Yes he fuckin pays for dinner,doesnt matter if he asked you out or not.
wanna fight about equal rights or "dutch",fine,you can get the tip,make it a good one like the one i was going to leave.
Tradition says i pay for dinner.(and yes,im going to be opening doors and pullin out chairs to!!!If you didnt like that,we wouldnt be there anyways imo)
Until you get that ring,keep your foundation in your name,keep the funds in your name in the event things change.(and in this business,they do,99% of the time)
Breaking up is hard to do when his name is on the lease,he has your banking numbers,or he owns half the car.
