Apparently not. Still, what is your relationship with this girl? Are you planning on getting married? Have you met the family? Does here parents know she is moving in with you? All these will be pertinent to how you should deal with the situation.Thank you. Apparently the title doesn't make it obvious enough, the question is about moving in with a girlfriend. In many countries rent etc. is split in half but in Japan I don't think that is the common practice. So I am interested to hear your opinions about it.
This was going to be my question. Women unfortunately often make less than men in Japan. You only said she had her "own income", but didn't elaborate. What are we talking about here in terms of both of your salaries?We are both working but my income is higher
This is something the two of you need to discuss in terms of how much you are both able to pay. I don't think anyone here can give you any more advice than that.so I feel if she pays part of the rent it should not be half.
Uh, yes! Did you expect it to be different?When going out with a girl on a date guys often take over the complete bill.
Another detail you neglected to explain.She will be moving into my apartment for which I am already paying the full rent now.
Again, this is up to both of you. You want her to shack up with you, with marriage only in the far unforeseen future. Discuss how much she is able (not willing, but financially able) to pay, compared to what she might have paid by herself earlier.So I am in doubt whether she should even pay anything.
Your first statement here is irrelevant. If you think you shouldn't save money because she moves in, then why should she save money by moving in? It doesn't make sense.I don't think I should be saving money because of her. On the other side, she would be saving the complete rent she is paying for her apartment right now.
If she has a job that brings in any money at all, I certainly wouldn't be "fine with that". She should pay something.Glenski, thanks for your thoughts. Yes, we'll talk about it and even if I pay the full rent I am fine with that.
