37-year-old boyfriend refuses to contribute to girlfriend's mortgage despite him living there full-time: 'I pay almost $1200 in mortgage and all the bills are under my name'

Sometimes, when you're with someone for a long time, you might find that you sort of accidentally live with them. You're spending the night most nights, and you realize it has been weeks since you've been home. You didn't talk about moving in together, but you just sort of do. And this can happen under your nose despite all your best intentions. And it doesn't have to be a bad thing. Maybe you wanted to live together anyway and now you can do so without the pressure of putting a label on it and making it a big deal. You can be low-key about it.

The problem arises, though, when you start to think about money. Why is it always money that gums up the works? If we all had enough of it, then maybe everything would be okay. But we live in the real world and that's not going to happen.
