Is it OK for a woman in a "good" relationship or marriage to go Dutch on bills? I am not referring to a situation where your spouse is injured or loses a job! You must, of course, pick up the slack! Allow me to explain what "going Dutch" means for those of you who are not familiar with the term. Going Dutch means, that everyone pays their own portion of the bill. If the rent is $1200 per month, for example, each of you will pay $600. All household bills, including groceries, would be subject to this restriction. I understand that it takes two incomes to make ends meet. Still, in my opinion if someone asks you to move in or marry them, they should be able to pay all of the bills, at least the rent. Alternatively, are they really looking for a spouse or a roommate with benefits?
