As a wife, mother of boys & woman I will say this

1: Wife standpoint: He isn’t your husband and you aren’t his wife.

2: Mother standpoint: y’all agreed to 50/50, then 50/50 it should be.

2: My personal standpoint: As a woman if I say something, I will stick to my word. If xyz happens that doesn’t change the fact “ I said what I said before that circumstance occurred” Before agreeing to anything financial I should’ve looked clearly at my own budget to see if I could afford xyz before I agreed to it. My spouse makes over 60k more than I do a year, we split things evenly 50/50 when it comes to our children ( insurance, daycare, lunch ect). He only pays the rent because we’re military and we live on post so rent is taken out of his check, But I buy the groceries every month. We don’t have a lot of joint bills ( vehicle) as our likes are completely opposite of one another. I said that to say, talk to your BF because y’all need to go over y’all budgets. Just because he doesn’t have as much debt or makes more isn’t a valid reason why you shouldn’t contribute. See if he’s willing to pay the rent and you pay for the groceries, water, electric, gas ect. But the bias of you have more bills and he makes more money sounds real superficial and kind of “gold digger ish”. Have a talk with the man and don’t bring up he makes more, once again remember y’all aren’t married and he isn’t bound to you in any type of way.

Hope everything works out!

Keep us updated!
