He kind of agreed to it, but since then, he's been incredibly angry. Basically, if he wants me to pay half, we're living within my means, not his anymore. Then I explained that date nights would probably have to be reduced too, and we could still do, like Buffalo Wild Wings or something, but I preferred Thursday nights because you get two orders of boneless wings for one. I also began to go over what our new food budget would be, our new entertainment budget, and that we'd probably have to sell the cars and get one less expensive one because I can't afford half of the payments on an Audi and a Land Rover. I told him that I do, but I'm not paying rent out of my savings, because that's a terrible and unsustainable idea. He got mad and asked why I didn't have savings. I explained that there's no way I can afford half rent on our current place, so we'll probably have to move into a one-bedroom apartment. He looked confused, and asked why we would need a zillow account. I told him that was fine I'll take it, and then asked if he'd made a zillow account yet, or expected me to. I honestly wouldn't have gotten upset if there seemed like an actual reason behind it, but he just said he'd been thinking about it a lot, over and over, every time I asked what brought him to this conclusion, what was going on, and eventually he just said "this is how it's going to be, take it or leave it." Those exact words, in response to literally everything I said. I asked if everything was okay with his job, or if he needed to take fewer hours, and he wouldn't answer me. I asked what he wanted me to pay now, and he was adamant about it being 50/50. He makes a lot more than I do, and we've always split bills accordingly, which ends up being about 80% him. I was a bit caught off guard by this, but was willing to hear him out, since he wasn't wrong. My (26F) fiancé (26M) sat me down yesterday and gave me a long talk about how he feels like I don't contribute enough to the household, particularly in the financial sense.
