Did not you see that he asked her to throw away her furniture?

Isn't it right that both parties should have living space if they were to share housing expenses? If he does not have space for her furniture, he should either ask his roomate to move out and let her gets what she pays for, or he should not charge her for rent. Under their agreement, she put most of her stuff in storage and gets a place to sleep.To me, she loses part of her independence in this arrangement already.

Sharing other costs (utilities, food, entertainment and etcs) is reasonable.

He wants to pay mortage and house insurance himself and makes sure put it in writing so that she can't claim his house in case they break up. Remeber a cohabiting partner is entitled to half of house equities accumulated during the period of cohibitaion if she contributes to house payment and expense. It is reasonable and understandable that he wants to protect himself, but saying he is generous because of doing this? give me a break.
