Is this a move to fill your piggie banks?
No matter where in the country you live, rent is usually your biggest monthly expense. When you and your partner are spending the majority of the week snuggling up in one bed or the other, the lure of saving a whole rent check is mighty appealing. Yet, if financial considerations rank toward the top of your motivation for living together, you might want to pause and think about the risk of losing your own space as well as financial independence. This is especially true for women. “I can’t stress enough how honest and open communication about finances and space need to be part of your ongoing communication together,” says Sibel Golden, a psychotherapist and expressive arts therapist in Seattle. “Everyone needs to feel like they have space and autonomy, so make a plan together about when and where you’ll get time alone at home, or your own desk or room. You’re living together, not becoming one person, so avoid the all too typical arguments about finances by being honest. What expenses would you like to merge, and what would you like to keep separate? It could be a great opportunity to understand your partner more!” Here’s how to stop arguing about financial problems in your relationship.
