Whoever said relationships were easy was a big phat liar. Don't get us wrong, relationships are meant to be light, loving, and filled with romance. But any person whose ever been in a long-term committed relationship knows that there's so much more underneath the surface. After a few months or so, when the dust settles and y'all pivot your way out of that honeymoon stage, you begin to realize that things aren't as easy breezy as they seemed. Especially, if the two of you move in together. 

Suddenly, it's no longer about date nights and romance but about bills, expenses, and future plans. And while all of this may seem stressful, it all depends on how you handle it. And if you ask us, the best way to handle it is by being partners part of the same team. Sure, there will be tons of hurdles thrown your way but at the end of the day, it all comes down to how you deal with them. Do you communicate with one another? Do you consider each other when making plans? 

Welp, today we're bringing you a story of just that. A relationship that's no longer about romance but all about the splitting of the bills. To be clear, this is not the way to go about these things. But hey, we can use it as a lesson learned.

    Font - We both split expenses, that is rent, some groceries and bills, we each buy our own self care products (shampoo, body lotion, body wash and stuff like that) and groceries, if we buy anything that's meant to be used/ consumed by the two of us then we also split the cost.

    Font - He works till late everyday, I work a normal 9-5 job, because of this I eat dinner alone every weekday. The other day I ordered a pizza, the place I like doesn't have individual pizzas, only regular sized ones. I ordered a pizza and ate most of it, there was three slices left. I put them in a recipient and save it to eat it later.

    Font - The day after (yesterday) around mid morning I went over to the fridge to grab something else and noticed that my food was gone. I waited until my boyfriend woke up and asked him if he had ate it. He said he did so I asked him to pay me back for half of the pizza I brought since I had pay it all myself. He laughed because he thought I was joking, but I told him I was serious, I brought that to myself and paid for it, he had no right to eat it.

    To be fair, we absolutely hate it when our boyfriends eat our food. And don't even get us started on sharing food with them - it's nearly impossible because they eat so fast. But girl… asking him to pay back for three pizza slices?….

    Font - He for angry at me and called me selfish for not sharing with him, I told him that's not what we had agreed upon when we moved in together. He's now upset with me. AITA?

    Font - It's called "pick your battles" because if you're going to start some shit with him over a couple slices of pizza then you're in for a wild ride of aggravation, frustration, and pain for the rest of your life with every single person you will ever meet.

    Font - hiddenthings 22 hr. ago Partassipant [3] Exactly. Your working as a team. He probably came home late, was starving and ate the pizza without thinking. I understand the frustration but when I get food I want to share with my partner. Sharing and giving is necessary in a relationship. 2.4k Reply Share

    Font - noblestromana · 18 hr. ago She is treating this relationship more a roommates with benefits than a romantic partner. Like if he ever uses her toilet paper is she also charging him per sheet.
