Reddit Woman Doesn T Want To Split Rent With Her Boyfriend

—u/zadidoll “Jake is paying less than 20% of the rent. Your dad is covering over 80% and losing out on $1,700 on your (and Jake’s) behalf. $400 is a crazy good deal and really just a token rent. If Jake still thinks the situation is unfair, it is proving your dad’s reasoning. If you covered half of Jake’s rent, then his total contribution would be less than 10%. So, is that fair?” —u/Lactard_Banana “Tell him to go on Craigslist and see what $400 will get him in Chicago. He wouldn’t get a monthly parking spot for $400. He is getting the Chicago version of a free apartment.” —u/Healy_ —u/KittyCritter812 “As a mom of three young adults, you’ve totally nailed it. OP’s dad has taken a good approach here. That rent’s more than fair, yet rather than being gracious, the boyfriend is being petulant. That says a lot.” —u/brencoop “I think your dad just showed a lot of who Jake is.” —u/Curious-Mousse-8714
