Reply to comment by ChocolateChouxCream in Girlfriend (24M) and I (29M) can't decide on splitting costs in semi-LDR by FreedomAccording3025

I think it's just because we've always done our finances with equally splitting rent, and then having imbalance by having me pay most of the bills, and more of other living expenses (eating out + groceries etc). We've never done an exact ratio split kind of thing, but it probably works out to about 60/40 overall.

I basically feel like what I'm proposing (splitting rent + travel) maintains this status quo.

Okay but maybe this status quo doesn’t make sense considering the type of relationship you have has changed

Your relationship and situation has changed, there's no real reason to "maintain the status quo" if you now just split it like I said there's no need to speculate at whether what you're doing is fair, if the imbalance is too much or too little.
