He Wants to Combine Our Money… Is That Okay? 💸💅

So… my boyfriend and I moved in together a few months ago 😅

I make 3x more than him, cover most rent, bills, groceries, even dates 💖

Now he wants to combine our income so we each have the same “fun money” 🤨

I said no — I already pay more and we’re not married 😭

He’s upset and told his sister… now she thinks I’m selfish 😩

Am I really selfish… or just setting healthy boundaries?
