Relationships are all about compromise so it's no surprise that some couples may split the cost of lifestyle expenses.
However, one woman has sparked a huge debate online after insisting that her boyfriend pays her the equivalent cost of the leftover pizza that he ate.
Taking to popular forum site Reddit, the woman explained that she and her boyfriend - who moved in together last month - typically split expenses.
She explained: "We split rent, some groceries, and bills, we each buy our own self-care products, and groceries, if we buy anything that's meant to be used/consumed by the two of us then we also split the cost."
The woman went on: "He works till late every day, I work a normal 9-5 job because of this I eat dinner alone every weekday. The other day I ordered a pizza, the place I like doesn't have individual pizzas, only regular-sized ones.
"I ordered a pizza and ate most of it, there were three slices left. I put them in a recipient and save them to eat later.
"The day after around mid-morning I went over to the fridge to grab something else and noticed that my food was gone. I waited until my boyfriend woke up and asked him if he had eaten it.
"He said he did so I asked him to pay me back for half of the pizza I brought since I had paid it all myself.
"He laughed because he thought I was joking, but I told him I was serious, I brought that to myself and paid for it, he had no right to eat it."
Seeking advice, she wrote: "He for angry at me and called me selfish for not sharing with him, I told him that's not what we had agreed upon when we moved in together. He's now upset with me. Am I the a**hole?"
Since sharing her concerns, the woman's thread has raked in over 3,400 comments - where people were torn over the controversial request.
One person admitted: "You're the a**hole. It was three slices. Who cares. Jesus."
Meanwhile, a second person agreed: "I don't like sharing food, but God I'd never ask my bf to pay for a 3/8 of a cold pizza I put in the fridge."
