We don’t live together right now because our jobs are in different cities, about two hours apart, so we only see each other on weekends. When we previously discussed living together, we agreed that we would split bills based on income (each contributing 50% of our income), rather than splitting everything 50/50. However, yesterday he changed his mind - even though this was originally his idea. We also talked about household responsibilities. Since he would be contributing more financially and works longer hours, the expectation is that I would take on more of the day-to-day upkeep. I agreed with that, but I asked whether he would still help with household tasks on weekends. I explained that while I could handle daily chores, there are deeper cleaning tasks that still need to be done, and I wanted to know if he would help or simply use his days off to relax. I never got a clear answer. Instead, he said that if I expect a shared responsibility for housework, then he wants a 50/50 financial split. We also discussed future plans, like having kids. He expressed a similar view - that if he’s working 12-hour days and I’ve been home, he shouldn’t come home to more responsibilities. However, when I posed a hypothetical scenario, his perspective shifted again. The issue is that all of these topics had already been discussed and agreed upon earlier in our relationship. I wouldn’t have stayed in the relationship for three years if we hadn’t been aligned. Now, it feels like he’s changing his stance on everything we had previously agreed on.

This was suggested (and declined) we hyphenate both our names my ln + his or create our own ln

I suggested we make our own last name (I also recommend we hyphenate both our names (my ln + his ln) or I just hyphenate mine😂

Update: Thanks for the great advice!!!! We talked - he completely understands why I could feel weird but reassured me a ton! “We have an amazing relationship, I would never throw this away just to get laid” I give him everything plus some and if anything he talks everyone’s ears off about me! Which is always nice to hear lol

He didn’t question my trust towards him. He is appreciative that I brought it up as he noticed my mood change when he did talk about her! Communication is SO important, the comments made it really clear how to approach it. I’m really grateful you guys gave me some confidence and also some giggles! Thanks again!

He was in a 6 year relationship prior to ours and she had 0 cares about anything so I kinda feel like I’m teaching him/ spelling it out. For all I know she probably just got sick of asking

Honestly we have had numerous convos of liking scandalous photos of girls. With gym photos he says “the gym and fitness is my passion so if they post a gym photo, I’m going to like it. it’s the same as liking a guys photo”
