\nA woman who inherited her father\u2019s house wonders how to share running costs with her man. Mariella Frostrup says it\u2019s about maintaining a sense of equalityThe dilemma I have been dating a wonderful man for a year and a half. Our kids are grown and we have both had previous marriages. My father passed away last March and in his will he left me his home in another part of the country. I decided to move there. The thing is, the house is more than 30 years old and needs a lot of work. So far I\u2019ve paid a large amount in renovations and there is still a lot to do. The house will remain in my name, and I will leave it for my children. So it\u2019s one thing to split bills but, as he is now living with me, and I\u2019m paying for updating the house, should he help with the renovation costs? I can\u2019t figure out what is fair here.Mariella replies What\u2019s fair in life is a loaded question. They say money makes the world go round, but its mere mention can also draw the carousel of love to an abrupt halt. There\u2019s nothing more mundane and conversely more taboo than money. Most of us would be happier to share bodily fluids with another human than be transparent about our earnings to them. Just look at the jitters being caused by the imminent disclosure of how company salaries differ between the sexes. It\u2019s taken four and a half decades of injustice, such is the veil drawn over finance, to precipitate this revolutionary reveal. Yet the naming and shaming of those who fail to live up to the Equal Pay Act has plenty to offer both sexes. Find me one dad who doesn\u2019t believe his daughter should earn the same as the dreary bloke on the desk opposite. Continue reading…
