My [23F] and my boyfriend [27M] are preparing to move in together and disagree on how rent should be divided, equally, or based on income.

I never said he was wrong! I said how he views her situation and the fact he won't even remotely consider it is shitty.

She isn't feeling entitled to anything. That's why she is here asking advice. She said her way of thinking is her budget. She never said she feels she deserves to pay less, just that she would like to pay 100 less to have a better budget. No demand, and who wouldn't want a better budget? She's not a monster for looking at this based on a workable budget for her to save money.

I know if I was I a relationship I would have no issue paying ALL bills based on income if I made more because you can't always control salary. I wouldn't expect my boyfriend to feel the same, I just know how I am. I'll be fair, because you know what, being fair is ok. You just go do what you do. Maybe assume if your girlfriend asks you if it'd be ok for you to make her breakfast one day, that means she is clearly demanding and feels entitled that you do every Sunday morning. Slippery slopes and whatnot.
