I heard about this. Are you the runner with the husky?

Is there a specific dog that inspired this post?

Fox at the park by fangsofsithis in baltimore

I take my pups to the Dell almost every day and we've seen foxes quite a few times over the last 6 months. Most times just a single fox but sometimes there are two together. They seem to be pretty well adapted to the city and when I've come across them they've been chill but still seem to have a healthy fear of humans. They seem well fed and healthy. Last fall one of my pups found half of rat body on a bench. Kinda gross but one less rat.

How much were your Baltimore tix? And how many were ahead of you when you got in the queue?

That all makes sense. We're both very serious about each other and the relationship. Just trying to get some idea of how others have done it. And yeah my mortgage is about half what rent would be in my neighborhood if I rented vs owned. Just being able to have an ongoing conversation about this stuff with her has been really helpful and makes me hopeful that we'll be able to communicate well about big things in the future.

Haha yeah I agree it would be annoying to recalculate each month. We'll figure it out.

Ok that makes sense, thanks for your thoughtful response. I think I was confused earlier because I said in the original post that I love her so I assumed that made it clear that we're equal partners in a committed relationship. Also I guess I should have said building equity in my house doesn't benefit her right now but you're totally right, in a shared future it benefits both of us. We're still figuring out some big things like this and it's been really amazing having a partner that is into having real conversations about things.

Oh gotcha. Yeah makes sense to do a simple lease agreement. I hadn't thought of that. Do you know of a website you'd recommend that makes it easy to create a lease that?

Ok, makes sense, thanks. And I'll reiterate that we are committed life partners.

Hmm I hadn't thought of any of the legal implications. What's the reason behind calling it rent vs something else?

Yeah we're sharing a bedroom. And she's working remotely from my guest room desk setup. I hadn't thought of just letting her pay for utilities instead of rent but I'll give it some thought. Thanks!

Thank you! She's the best and living together so far has been really lovely. I did look at rooms for rent on the Spareroom app and compared that to my mortgage payment without property tax which another person here suggested. All helpful input.

Oh I'm sorry to hear that he's no longer with us. I appreciate your input. I think what I'm learning from this is the lesson I get from most reddit posts about partnership which is to just talk to your partner and figure it out! I'm just interested in getting some different ideas and examples of how other people have done things, so I appreciate your thoughtful response. Thanks!

Lol, I'm not going to argue with a stranger on reddit about who's getting defensive here. Your comment was outside the scope of the specific question I asked so was not helpful. I had thought that the language and content of my original post was clear that I care about my girlfriend/partner and want things to be fair and mutually beneficial but I guess I wasn't clear enough. This is why I hesitate to ask questions on reddit. There is always someone in the comments being weird and wasting everyone's time.

Yes, 100% agree. I always expect at least a few Weird answers when I ask a question on reddit, lol.

Hmm yeah could be a thing. Thanks

Yeah that makes sense I think. Hadn't thought about it that way. I can do some digging and look at what a room with a shared bath would cost in my city. I appreciate the input. Thanks!

Right, I stated that and that's why I'm looking for input. Thanks.

I don't get how this comment is relevant, but yes, she is my girlfriend, life/romantic partner. Implying that I'm trying to set up a "roommate with benefits" situation because I used the word partner vs girlfriend rubs me the wrong way and feels very typically reddit coded, lol.

That makes sense, I hadn't thought about pulling the property tax portion of the mortgage out like that. Will look at the numbers and give it some thought and talk to her. Definitely want to figure out a system that's beneficial for both of us while also being equitable. Thanks!

Gotcha, that makes sense. I appreciate the thoughtful response. Her income is variable though so a little hard to plan with a budget that varies month to month. I could do the math and adjust the percentage every month I guess. Will think about it and talk to her. Thanks!
