Man insists on being put on girlfriend's mortgage despite not contributing anything financially, she puts her foot down, leading to a strain in their relationship: 'Don't make it difficult'

How do you determine when a relationship is ready to be taken to the next level?

Nowadays, it's harder to say when a couple should 'level up' their relationship. If you go back a few decades ago, the steps of the relationship ladder were pretty straightforward – You meet, date for 4-6 months, get engaged, get married around 6 months after that, buy a house, and then immediately start having kids. In a span of two years, most couples are married, homeowners, and parents. People didn't really have time to dwell on things, everything happened very quickly.

But these days, couples want to make sure that they feel confident in the relationship they are in and are 100% ready for a commitment of any kind. That leads couples to date for years before they even talk about marriage or kids, while they also keep big commitments, like buying a house, all for themselves.

Whether you agree with modern couples taking things slow, or whether you think our grandparents were the ones who did things right, we want to know what you think of the couple in the story below.

This story was written by a woman who decided she was ready to buy a house on her own. However, her boyfriend of two years feels like he needs to be included in this purchase, even though he doesn't plan to contribute to it financially.
This led to a whole discussion about the relationship, and the idea of long-term commitment. An idea that, as we all know, modern couples have a tendency to steer clear of.
