It makes more sense to split the bills by percentage of income, rather than 50/50. This is what my partner and I do, and have totally separate finances. As long as I’m paying my share, and they theirs, it’s no issue.
Just to give a dollar example: if I make 100k and my partner makes 200k, then they would pay 65% of our combined COL and I would pay 35%.

Yeah- that part bothered me more than anything, tbh. That he’s so enthusiastic about seeing her…
