An interesting narrative about an 18-year-old woman living in a house her father left her started to take shape on Reddit’s “AITA” community. The plot twist occurred when her lover asked for a portion of the rent after learning t
hat she owned the property. Let’s examine this interpersonal drama’s specifics.
The girl said that she had inherited a two-story house and was renting the first floor for $500 a month. Because of the property’s remote location from the city, the monthly rent was lower than that of other adjacent houses, which were renting for $600 to $700. Her boyfriend, who was unaware that she owned the property, moved in to avoid problems with her renting.
“I didn’t think it was necessary to notify him that I owned the house. Before the truth was revealed, it didn’t seem like a problem,” the Redditor wrote.
The truth came out during an apparently innocuous conversation about a damaged freezer. When he found out she was the landlord, the boyfriend expressed contempt for landlords and called her “evil,” demanding a portion of the rent.
“He demanded a 50% cut or said I was as awful as he believed. Our relationship was affected by the disclosure,” the Redditor said.
Her boyfriend’s silence treatment only made her frustrations worse. The woman offered to give half of her rent to a charity in an effort to save their relationship, but her boyfriend rejected it and called her conceited.
His divergent opinions on landlords and his insistence on payment further fractured their bond. It got to the point of shattering,” the Redditor wrote.
As the drama developed, the woman made the decision to break up with her lover and asked her father for help. In addition to highlighting the difficulties of having money conversations in partnerships, the episode serves as a warning about openness and communication.
