We\u2019ve only been dating for a year and a half, and I would prefer to keep our finances separate.<\/p>\n<p>Despite not working anymore, I still pay my half of the rent every month and have started paying for a housekeeper to come in and clean a few times a week, so our apartment is nearly always spotless and looks great.<\/p>\n<p>I told my boyfriend he isn\u2019t entitled to my money and he said I was being selfish for expecting him to still contribute to the rent when I could easily afford to pay for the whole thing.<\/p>\n<p>AITA?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reddit users shared their
