'My fiancé earns over £500k a year - and he still expects me to pay the bills'

Splitting up the household bills with your partner isn't always as easy as going 50/50 on everything, especially if one of you earns significantly more than the other, or if one person has fewer outgoings and can pick up more of the slack. But one woman has been left completely baffled after her fiancé told her she should be the one paying the bills - even though he earns a staggering £500,000 a year.

The woman, from the US, claimed that while she works in education on a $50,000 (£44,300) salary, her partner earns over 10 times as much as a doctor on a yearly wage of $600,000 (£532,200). And although the woman often lives "paycheque to paycheque" each month, her fiancé still expects her to contribute to the household bills on top of her other commitments.
