AITA for thinking that when my boyfriend and i move in together that food costs should not be 50/50? 1. he eats more food 2. he eats more expensive food (protein) i think 60/40 is more accurate

not everything needs to be split exactly. unless hes stingy about other things, just do 50/50. if youre at the point where youre living together, you both will have to make sacrifices. if youre doing everything else 50/50, might as well do this as well

Not entirely but that could lead to a slippery slope for both of you depending on how you go about it. Maybe he pays for his personal protein foods and any extra food he wants, you split everything else 50/50 and make sure to set aside half of whatever food you fix so you each get the same amount as an alternative.

50/50 is also dependent on income, if he makes more than you it shouldnt be 50/50, it should be proportional.

Honestly have him buy his fancy proteins and split the rest. I think you have a point here, the commenters here are being weird for no reason.

being stingy because he eats more protein is like him making you pay a majority of the water bill because you flush the toilet more often on your period
