If your significant other pays more rent, is that an excuse for them to never help with cleaning/ chores/ cooking, and not picking up their own messes/ or doing their own laundry?

Question

Answer

I don’t think it has anything to do with more money, but everything to do with time. Equal time at the office? Equal time doing chores.

Answer

I make 75% of our income and 50% of our messes. So I’ll pay 75% of our bills and clean up 50% of the messes.

Answer

I’m a sahm and my husband helps all the time. There’s no reason for anyone to never help. It’s about being a team.

Answer

The way I read this is 
If one person pays more money for rent should the other do more house work to make up for not paying the same amount.
And to me yes the other person should. It doesn’t sound like a excuse

Answer

So my husband pays for EVERYTHING but I do all the housework unless I’m sick or something like that. I like it that way.

Answer

I only make the household’s spending money, my fiance makes all the bill money. He only cleans up after himself/does the trash/cleans the bathrooms. I do everything else. Sometimes he will help out with laundry or sweeping if I ask him but very rarely. I’d say I make 20% of the income and do about 80% of the housework.

Answer

I make more than my SO so I pay 75% of our expenses. We split housework 50/50. Your SO’s bs has nothing to do with him paying more, he’s just trying to cover up the fact that he’s a misogynist who thinks women should do all the housework.

Answer

My fat fingers pressed “yes” instead of “no” 🙃

Answer

My husband pays all our bills bc I’m a SAHM. He still helps clean and does laundry. I do majority of the house work but he 💯 helps out and still cleans

Answer

We try to do everything 50/50, financially and household responsibilities. It’s not perfect and we get annoyed with eachother but you have to talk about it. No one should be leaving messes though
